Thanks for sharing. These look really well made, I bet they'll last forever!
I don’t watch any other socials really than CZcams so I appreciate you posting on here as well ! xx
So glad you’re back! I love the Stardust so much but after buying my Janet undyed, I had to settle for a Moterm Croc instead. I hope you feel 100% better tomorrow!
Ahhh well undyed is AMAZING, I honestly think that's my favorite leather if we're talking strictly leather! I do feel the Stardust or Velvet Sand is more my "style" color wise but when it comes to leather, Undyed is for SURE my favorite. Thank you so much!!
You can take planners around with you by using a velvet pouch. Thats what I do with mine, i throw it in the pouch then it goes in my purse. Im in nyc so i cannot go anywhere without my planner ❤
Thank you for the comparison of the different types and styles. I have been undecided and this video is a big help❤️
I am sooo glad it helped!!! That's exactly what I was hoping!
Love it! Would love to see an update video of favorite and least favorite inserts🥰
I can definitely do that! I've been trying different weeklies less and less these days (instead sticking with my 3 favs) and gone from needing WO2P to loving WO1P hehe... so a lot has changed!
It’s the third time I comment here 🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴🥴 as a velvet sand owner myself…. IT IS HEAVEN. stiff, sensitive…. Yes. But GORGEOUS…. YESYESYES
LOLLLL it's almost like a love/hate LMAO at least it was for me in the beginning! thank god I'm used to the stiffness now anddd it's gotten a lot better with use
Antibiotics make me very nauseous as well. Glad you are feeling better. Love VDS. Waiting on two new customs. Can’t wait to share them.
Omg it’s the worst! I haven’t taken them in sooo long but I don’t remember ever getting this sick from them 😅 I would love to see the customs you get!!!
You rock! I own or have owned all of these with the exception of the velvet sand but have a custom order for that right now! I do own the undyed and agree it’s so darned squishy and I love it! I have not sprayed it though and am second guessing doing so! Thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh I would love to hear your thoughts on Velvet Sand once you get it! Yes omg the squish on the undyed is EVERYTHING. That might be my favorite leather to be honest lol. I know spraying and babying and stuff is all totally personal preference! Some people want marks & stains and character and others don't. So total personal choice!
TM is buffalo so it’s crazy strong and won’t patina or show scratches. It shouldn’t wipe off pen or something but it’s easier to clean and won’t get banged up in your bag. When they add more TM leathers sometimes it’s adding new colors to the lineup and sometimes adding existing TM to the RTS.
I don't have a Janet leather yet (I want one someday) but I do have a Stardust and it's suuuuch a dream for me. Love seeing the comparison!
The site section is "Touch Me Ready Made Collection". The leather selections for the standard wide are TM Noir, TM Parme, Beige Croco, and Stardust Croco. So I think you're right that Touch Me is a type of leather, but the RTS line is also called Touch Me because it used to only be Touch Me leather, and now it includes other types of leather so the Touch Me is now designated as just "TM". Phew!
🙋🏻♀️ agree with the size
Thank u for the formula 🥂
Of course! I loveee the measurements - it's my perfect planner!
I must be weird. I prefer natural nails. Omg I absolutely LOVE Janet Leather Undyed. I’m ordering one today
Loved this video, Amanda! I always appreciate your thoughts on these planners and how you use them! The undyed is on my Christmas list❤️Your input has been invaluable!!❤️
Thank you so much Connie!! You must get undyed, it's AMAZING! By far my favorite leather!
6:25 I have no moterms that lay flat. But my Codex A5 Janet lays flat but my Passport with a back pocket does not. The back pocket causes a lot of the not laying flat imho.
This is so helpful ❤️❤️
I made a "wishlist" cart on VDS with every pocket planner I want right now and it came out to over $2000 lol
LOLLL I feel that pain! 🤣🤣 there’s like 3 more customs I want but after buying the 3 I have it’ll be a looooong time before I can get another one ahahaha
Lol 😂 #plannerstruggles
15:35 do you have a stiffner or full bontex? I don’t just have a frame and mine aren’t stiff. It’s a firmer thicker leather but not stiff. And softened with use too.
I saw your customs and even after ordering last week a b6 I just placed an order for a manager a5 in chocolate with lighter chocolate stitching.i didn't get the back pocket but this one I did get the flyleaf.im excited yo get both and really hate waiting.i did by an a6 and that wasn't a. Ustom.i don't feel these are any softer than the moterm of which I have a few.still waiting on my burnt orange personal versa.lol...I did pay the e Tra for the Janet leather so hopefully that will be better.thanks
Was the not custom one a touch me leather? If so I totally understand! Those definitely aren’t what I’d call a soft leather. Still a higher leather quality than moterm… but if you got Janet it’ll blow you away! It is so squishy and amazing
@@amandaleighplans yes it was a touch me but it was my first and an a6.the second and third are all customs and one is a b6 and one a A5...the a5 is the only Janet leather.so I'm hoping it eill be good.i have started my planning back in the early 90s when j used yo be a marykay lady(don't recommend them)then In the 2000,I ended up being an Avon lady.after I left the hotel industry I got into happy planning and hated the covers (not the plastic ones that come with the planner).I was going yo stop but moterm does hp covers.still not 100%with jp but it's a start...lol...I love rings even though I'm a lefty...🤣🤣🤣
Great comparison video
Really would love to invest into a vds planner! Do you find structured or unstructured to be better?
Would you ever consider selling one of your planners? Where could I purchase a used pocket ring planner ?
I love watching your videos! Super helpful ideas on how I can change the setup in my pocket rings.
Thank you!
There are tons of Buy Sell Trade groups on Facebook! Check out the VDS (Van Der Spek) BST, Gillio BST, and Moterm BST… there’s a lot! You can also look at hashtags on IG like planner for sale, vdsforsale, etc. - lots of people post for sale items on their IG too!
Great video!
Love your pocket vds collection. They all are so cute. I personally don't like marks on Janet undyed either, it don't look the same no more.
Thanks December!! 🥰 agreed! I think I like scratches & marks on darker leathers? Because of course I love them on my leather travelers notebook.. but something about the undyed I just prefer it to look smooth and perfect lol!
Yes so true 😂 darker leather the better but still can’t run out with darker leather either it gets to look nasty 😂 ima send you a picture of what I mean 🥴
@@simplydecemberplans something about the classic travelers company TN’s to me look AMAZING all scratched up but when it comes to Janet leather from VDS… personal preference but I definitely love the brand new look more lol!
Can I buy one already done and made up with the inserts?
And the fourth comment…. Yes! Vds is adding new leathers to the ready to ship collection! Not new touch me leathers
Thank youuu! VDS's own post said adding new leathers to the "touch me" line but I think they meant to say the ready to ship line
Where do you buy your inserts from ?
Thank you for your informative video! I watched this like 3 times 😂. I’m thinking of getting an A5 codex for my desk planner for my Stalogy. Now my confusion comes in because I want a black, and I don’t own Janet Leather or Croco. I have the TM so I can’t decide between the JL black or the Nero Croco. Do you have any thoughts on which one would feel/look better as a classic black staple? Thank you!
So I’m not super familiar with the Nero Croc leather but black croc is absolutely a classic! HOWEVER I would go Janet leather 10000%. Janet leather is the best leather I have everrrrr felt. It’s so squishy and incredible, I would absolutely go JL!
@@amandaleighplans thank you for your input! I was leaning towards that. I’ll go JL!
Where and how do I know what refills to I purchase for these??
It can be super confusing and overwhelming when you’re getting started!! There are sooo many options out there and with ring planners you basically have a million different options to fill them with, instead of a book bound planner for example that’s already complete. I would highly recommend Cloth & Paper for starting out. They are an online shop that carry everything - inserts, dashboards, dividers, etc. You can pick between monthly, weekly, notes, any kind of refills you need for your life! There are many refill makers out there but C&P is a one stop shop and great for beginners.
I'm new to planning and sooo confused lol
Is the Stardust you have on this vid junior or standard size?
I'm new to Vds planners.....
It’s Junior! All of them in this video are Junior aka pocket rings size ❤️❤️
Would u please put your custom measurements down for me in my comment section so I know how to order... thank you. I like yours
Does your undyed planner have a stiffener?
Nope! I don’t ever get stiffener!
Oh btw you CAN rub out a pen stain
out of a moterm croc…. 🥴🥴
LOLLLL that doesn’t surprise me because one time I dropped a stamp ink pad on my moterm and it left a HUGE black spot… but it rubbed right out 🤣
