New Purpose for A Passport Case

Hello and thank you that you're here!

While tidying my closet, I found some purses, wallets, and travel accessories.

This passport case stood out because I've had it for years but I never used it. The passport case I currently use is just the right size and I'm pretty satisfied with it. But maybe I can still use this one and turn it from blah to TADA! 

It's made of leather and has a nice camel color.

Inside it has a lot of pockets for cards, cash, and other small things we carry daily or during our travels.

 

I'm reminded of the Traveler's Notebook with a soft leather cover.

Inside the Traveler's Notebook, you can add small notebooks for note-taking and sketching, as well as additional accessories that help in memory keeping and organization.

It's quite a cool system that's portable and can be used over the years. 

Here's another leather case, this time for the Field Notes notebook. 

It's a handsome leather case that fits the notebook, a pen, and things that you'd normally carry in your wallet. It's both a wallet and small folio that you can tuck in your back pocket or fit a tiny bag. 

I think my leather passport case now has new purpose!

I slid a notebook in one of its pockets. 

This one fits perfectly but I can look around in stationery shops like Muji or Yoseka for similar-sized notebooks. I also sneaked in a thin pen in the centerfold of the passport case. 

The pockets will store journaling supplies like washi tape and stickers, and also for keeping ephemera like business cards and flat mementos. 

This passport case continues to be a passport to adventure! I'm using it as a journaling notebook that will keep me company for daily excursions and longer vacations together with my compact watercolor kit. If you want to explore journaling, here is an informative article to get you started.  

And that is how I turned a leather passport case from blah to TADA!
