I just have to say again, I love all your videos so much. It's so interesting to see how you go through the leathers, and the sizes, the realization that rings don't work (they don't work for me either, and I feel now like rings are kind of 'old school'), the bound books and how good they can be... it's so interesting to hear how others come to their decisions. So much good info you share, thank you!!!
I'm going to try rings next year. I cut slits in the holes of the inserts so I can pull them out and put back in. We'll see how it works! Good luck with deciding! I like the dark grey ostrich with some pink on the inside. I can't do bright colors. I'm a neutral kinda gal 🙃
I really like the Sakura and the Stardust, but if you would, next time, I'd like to see how you choose what goes with them, on the inside of the planner. I just don't think I'd want that texture on the inside, I'd want something smooth and something that was either a good match for the cover, or a contrasting color that popped in a good way, or maybe even something out of left field that you'd never have thought would work but it just does..... that's always my stopping point, queen of indecision when it comes to picking the 'inside' leather/color. Love the chatty videos, thank you!!
Just found your channel today and love this video. I want to order a codex but couldn’t settle on a color. Didn’t even look at the croc colors because I don’t like croc but omg surprisingly I think Stardust is going to be it! And I crack up every time you say stalogy - my brain says stayology so I’m with ya 🤷🏻♀️
I just love watching your videos. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your next colour combo. My codex made to the specifications the same as your inoue blue one is due to ship next week. I got Mouse ostrich x exterior with Acacia interior. I also love the tapestry grey and wheat, arctic ice and Lin. I have a personal rings in black Croco with black Italian leather interior. Next on my wishlist for next year is a custom ostrich x nomad for my TN, and possibly an A5 codex. Oh my list keeps getting longer LOL!🤣🤪😉
Becki_ Plans ooh those are all good combos indeed! Trust me getting the samples only made me more confused about what I want😂 Then I see other covers on FB and I am like ooooh thats nice too. I definitely need an intervention,lol. I so appreciate you watching😊
Thank you so much! I did a custom rings in Foresta and Blue Italian...which I love, however, same as you, rings bug me!! Looking at getting a codex and your video helped a bunch! I was looking at Sakura with Parme inners, but now I am thinking Stardust!
Hey, in your video it looks like the stardust looks really similar in tone to the touch me grey one, would u say they're quite similar in reality? Thinking about which leathers to pair together that will complement each other, colour wise :) x
This was great! I saw 'stiffening' in one of your notes. Is that something added to VDS planners? That is a look they have that I don't like compared to Gillios in photos at least but if it's an option then maybe not a problem? Also I wanted to ask you.....Have you cut down a larger Stalogy? I noticed the square corners and bigger fit. I want to try this but am afraid the office place may screw it up!! :)
Stiffening is optional. It gives a cover structure but if you prefer floppy, go with none. I cut 5mm off the side of this one as my cover was too small for my pen loops. The new B6 codes Petra is making is larger. I cut it down at Staples. They have a laser cutter that is super precise. Thanks for watching.
Such an informative video! Thank you. :) I'm wondering though, how long did it take to get your samples? I'm waiting for some now and not sure how long it should take.
Dre For me it’s the way ostrich leather takes the dir which allows for very saturated colors. Also the feel of the leather is so soft but yet so durable.

Laurie I will keep that in mind.
I feel the same!

I like the colour ‘mouse’ a surprising amount! 😍

Sarah Hatch Stardust is so beautiful and I am not normally a neutral person but this color would match almost any planner.

That stardust one is really pretty 😳😳

Leia of Alderaan about 3 weeks for my samples and VDS needed to resend them because the first set got lost.
Haha, not planner related, but I must know what your nail polish is! Color and brand! Your nails always look great!
LuAnn Ley haha This is an OPI color called A Dozen Rosas. They are a wreck right now cuz I have been so busy. Thanks so much for watching😊
How do you order the real ostrich leather. How much does the ostrich costs?
Creole Blue you have to email Petra at VDS. Plan on around 4-5x the original price for cost for full quill. For ostrich x its about 2 1/2 x the cost.
What is the appeal of ostrich leather?
Dre For me it’s the way ostrich leather takes the dir which allows for very saturated colors. Also the feel of the leather is so soft but yet so durable.
