I have been using the journal for almost half a year now, and the quality is still really good, the leather is holding up really well and the charms havent changed color or tarnished. Its been used almost everyday and its still looking brand new. But there is one problem, the chords. Over constant use, parts of the chords are freying and becoming thinner, and i fear that over more time they will snap. I dont know if this issue is fixable with better quality chords or a different material, but personally i feel like mine are going to break soon and i have no idea how to replace them, so its better id the issue is avoided from the beginning
