Super cute and spacious, but not overwhelming big. I can fit my ring binder, stickers, markers, and pouch with journaling essentials. The zipper is a must have, so glad they included it in the design. I usually just use the handles because the crossbody strap is kind of flimsy, but you can just put a better quality one if you want to do crossbody.

I use this bag as my actual purse. There is a ton of storage in it. Two spots for storing pens and other little things I like to take my cell phone in one of those spots. There’s a smaller area where I actually stick my daily planner. I also fit my wallet and keys in there too with plenty of room left. The quality is really good. The zipper is sturdy and the canvas has stood up really well and as a bonus there’s tons of room to put on all the pins you can collect from Hubman and Chubgirl.

Absolutely adorable

Super useful for me! A lot of space, i can fit 3x B6 planners inside a cover, one A5 journal and a travellers notebook. I use it also to put my letters and pen-palling supplies from bedroom to living room.

love this bag just as much as I love the other one. It is a bit bigger but still wish it was bigger lol. Great quality, love the design. Like the added charm shaker and the pin I got as well.

The box was already so lovely! It came in a nice hubman and chubgirl printed sack. And the quality of the journal buddy is good. Plenty of space to put stuff in. Also love the pre order freebie of the bees and blossom pin.
Daisy P.

The addition of the zipper is a game changer!!

My friend did an order with me and I got this bag as a preorder. We had to message them multiple times, because it never arrived when it was suppose to and there was no information. They finally got back to my friend after the fourth message to say that it was marked as completed when the rest of the order was processed. We got it and, after two uses, I noticed the entire lower seam on the inside of the large outer pocket wasn't sewn.

Cute design! Great size! It also has a zipper closure. The zipper opens and closes smoothly but I don’t like the quality. The teeth is kind of rough so I worry it might scratch my journals and binders when I put it in and take it out which is why the 4 star. I find that I like the original journal buddy better, now that I have both to compare. I probably won’t use this one as a purse (for now) which I initially I thought I would.

I would love to rate this higher because it really is the perfect size, but the zipper broke a few days after receiving the bag, and I’ve just found a hole in one of the pockets. I’ve only been using it a few weeks so this much wear and tear for that little of use is concerning. Can’t say I would make another purchase from this company, unfortunately.

Eliana H.
It is the perfect size for my bullet journal and my half letter agenda.
Christina V.
This bag is so cute! I wish it was a little bigger but I still love it.
Mary S.
Love the bag! It holds everything I need so that I can just pick it up and go and have all my current journal supplies with me. The pin is so cute, and the shaker keychain is hanging on my keys <3
Marzieh N.
It is a canvas bag and material looks cheap. If is not like the pic canvas has a lot of fuzzy material which makes it look old. It has a strong chemical odor.
Kendra G.
There was an issue with my first one. Contacted Customer Service and sure enough, they replaced the defective one.
They are so awesome! I've bought so much stuff from them in the last few months too!
Robin P.

Traci K.
Love this bag! It’s sturdy, spacious and ADORBS! Especially with the shaker keychain that comes with it! Matches perfectly with the Lavender and Honey set that I bought and I can’t wait to add my pins to it!
Sabine M.
Cute journal buddy, just a bit smaller than i thought. But very useful to bring my journal accesories with me in a Coffee shop or at my journal club.
Marie P.
I love the bag, but in the description I thought XL meant it was bigger, it was rather small- I wonder what non XL's look like...
Also, I would like to end my subscriptions- I noticed that I got three this month- please cancel them for future deliveries.
Thank you

Already making it mine and loving it!

The design and the pattern are harmonized with soft and sweet. The charm and the enamel pin made it more presentable. However, unbleached cotton fabric made the bag look dirty and like mold, as well as the poor piping and cutting with plastic materials. Very high expectation while waiting for this pre-order bag as birthday gift for myself, but it turns out disappointed receiving a rough made bag with unmatching price.
