I’m always looking for the perfect leather planner and this one is lovely. The leather is high quality and I can’t wait to break it in in 2026.
Great craftsmanship, I can’t wait to give this to my son in law for his collection for Christmas! Thank you!!
Perfect personalized handcrafted gift for that special someone in your life! The folks at Allegory are the BEST!
My ideal strap is one that is comfortable, uncomplicated, unobtrusive, doesn't risk scratching the camera, and can be attached and removed easily. The Content strap at least achieves the last one of these. I didn't like the large amount of bright hardware. I have no need for a neck strap, as I always use an over-the-shoulder strap, so the ability to interchange the shoulder and neck pieces is a waste for me. The quick-release clips are easy to use, but I don't like having that much metal adjacent to the camera body where it might scratch it. I do like to have a wrist strap sometimes, but using the adjustable strap pieces as a wrist strap does not work for me. They are too short and also have too much hardware. My suggestion for a better strap is to have separate shoulder and neck verions, with the adjustable pieces attached directly to the neck piece (sewn, no rings or rivets). Change the quick-release clips for ones that are made so there is not so much hardware; they do not need to swivel. Make a separate, dedicated wrist strap according to the same principles. And don't use any bright, shiny parts!
I received this padfolio as a gift from my dad and I love it! The quality of the product is amazing, and you can tell the quality craftsmanship and time that was spent in creating it. It looks really professional and is the perfect gift as I start to enter the business world. The team was also really communicative with my dad about delivery time, and was able to help resolve the issue! Overall 10/10 product with a 10/10 team would definitely recommend!!
For someone who writes constantly, I am highly satisfied with adding the 1937 Series Bold Limited Edition pen to my collection. The build quality is strong, the balance is precise, and the bolt-action mechanism operates smoothly, delivering a sense of nostalgia. One feature that would enhance the product is the option to engrave more than three characters. Highly Recommended!
I originally discovered Allegory's products as a Kickstarter and have since backed a few of their projects. When starting up my business and wanting to provide my team something a bit more high end than the typical mass produced notebooks and pens, I reached out to them to see what could be done. Jessica responded and was able to get customization done and my order processed within about a day. They showed up a few days later and were absolutely perfect. I literally couldn't be happier with the results and will be continuing to use them for every new employee I bring on.
I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this product! Absolutely recommend it to others!
As an avid history fan who grew up learning and researching history and World Wars and as someone who collects pens as mementos from places I’ve been this truly was the best of both worlds. The sheer craftsmanship and effort and dedication put into this pen truly shows on every inch of it. I had some questions regarding the item so I wrote an email and the customer service was genuinely incredible. To get a direct response from Jessica the Co-Founder of Allegory made me feel seen and heard as a potential customer. I would highly recommend this product or honestly anything from this company I can’t thank them enough for everything they do
Wonderfully made and I love that I finally have a folio that isn't uncomfortable to write in. Highly recommend.
This is the ideal companion for my Kauri wood pencil. I can slip it into the case and throw both of them into the bag with all the other stuff I take to the British Library when researching, without having to worry about the pen getting scuffed or scratched. (You have to give it the respect it's due, when it is over 40,000 years old.) And the case gains character through wear. I like the way that works. :-)
Both my sister and I are authors. She admired my Kauri wood pencil from Allegory, so I'm treating her to one as her Christmas present. Researching in archives you can only use pencils, and this one is a pleasure to use, with an excellent mechanism, and positive grip. Also, as a writer there is just something about having one of the tools of your trade that is 40-50,000 years old. It gives you a sense of perspective.
As a musician once said about the famous violin he played: 'I don't own it, I move through its life.'
The pen is a work of art. Feels great. Have to keep an eye on it. Look forward to next project. Keep up good work.
I love fountain pens. I have about a dozen, but I saw this one on Kickstarter and could not back it fast enough. I majored in Military History and I bought this mostly for the historical connection. In fact, I bought two. Imagine my delight when the pens arrived and they were just perfect. Fantastic weight, fantastic balance, fantastic line. I’ve had it for over two years and it’s just the perfect pen for me. And the second pen? I gave it to my dad. I got to say, “oh, you like the pen? Keep it.” It was one of the highlights of my life.
I like wood pens. I like magnetic caps. So when I saw this magnetic capping wood pen, it was a no brainer! The pen writes wet and smooth like a dream and is super comfortable in the hand. Posted it's slightly back weighted which is a pity since that it also magnetically posts! But I imagine if you have a large hand, and hold it higher up, it wouldn't be an issue. Writes perfectly fine unposted for me. Easily one of the favourite pens in my small collection. The people at Allegory is great too - Jessica is very responsive to questions and addresses issues/suggestions quickly.
This nib writes wet and smooth like a dream and is super comfortable in the hand.
