There have been some instances where even the popular travelers company has molded. The solution is to pop it in the freezer to stop the spores and then heat it with a hair dryer. Wipe it clean and it shouldn’t return. Jane Lee, Jane the crazy (her yt channel) shared how she cleaned hers. I would never want to buy one that way, however if it does happen to yours that’s how you can rectify it.

I never saw the appeal of these things, people stuff them in a way that they become impractical and bulky, I prefer normal notebooks like Leuchtturm and whatnot, an A7 for quick notes and appointments and an A5 as a journal.

I came across this video. I had a travelers notebook I found in a box that I packed away from a move. It was covered in white film. I assumed it was mold but a tanner said it was actually wax bloom. Said leather that’s of good quality would bloom to preserve itself. Sadly I threw it away thinking it was mold. There’s some videos on here that explains it well. But I will say mold is nothing to mess with and while mine might have been just bloom I would look into a tanner to make sure.

Thank you for updating us! I was wondering where some of your old videos had gone. I appreciate you being conscientious and letting us know about these issues.

[@katyagurina1492]

Aaah, so the mystery solved! I was looking for a particular video of yours and couldn't find it. Now I know why. Thank you so much for posting this as well as all your other videos. I use many of them as a reference or for inspiration.

[@PorschaWrites]

Thanks so much for updating us. I have one of those covers from years ago and really like it. I have a bad mold allergy so I really appreciate you letting us know so I don't reorder or worst yet send one as a gift!

[@queenbuzybee4074]

I don’t know if you know „Janethecrazy“ here on YT, but she did a very good video on reviving moldy leather covers.

[@dee_ewell_pierce]

I really appreciate this video and your diligence in even updating older videos to reflect the change.

[@Bobbie92]

I just bought three, and they are fine, no mold.

[@ecclessiastes]

Hi thanks for the heads up. I like your table surface. I tried to look in your description but no reference for link. Would you post here? Thanks

[@StacysStandardTN]

Also, when companies use food products to dye items, if they skip steps, it can mold because it is food.

[@ghostyplans]

I love Chic Sparrow covers. They’re ethical, and consistent.

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

I have an infection from mold thats on going OMG! Thank God for your video

[@tammymarsh627]

I just received mine. Is it supposed to be a smooth & shiny leather or a velvety/suede feel?

[@amyz673]

what size is this cover? standard TN?

[@stationery_tammy]

Mold? Or bloom (fat or wax)?
