LeStallion Notebook Collection Review

This LeStallion notebook collection review is a quick look at the different colors in the LeStallion journal lineup. The video is not a full paper test or a long durability review; it is more of a practical color comparison for anyone who already likes the LeStallion notebook format and wants to decide which cover finish looks best.

The collection shown includes several muted, earthy colors rather than bright or flashy options. That is really the appeal here. These notebooks have a soft faux-leather look, two-tone page edges, numbered pages, and a more premium everyday journal feel. If you like subtle colors and classic-looking notebooks, the range makes sense.

Quick verdict

The LeStallion collection is best for people who want an A5 journal with thicker paper and a refined, understated look. The colors are all fairly neutral, so choosing between them is more about personality than function. Khaki cream feels light and elegant, desert brown feels warm, cocoa brown feels classic, and ash gray black feels the most professional.

If you want the safest everyday choice, black or cocoa brown is probably easiest. If you want something softer and more distinctive, khaki cream is the standout. The main thing is that none of the colors look loud. They all fit the brand’s calm, leather-journal style.

Color lineup

The video shows the current LeStallion colors together so you can compare them at a glance. That is helpful because product photos do not always make notebook colors easy to judge. Seeing them side by side makes the differences clearer: lighter cream, warmer browns, deeper brown tones, and the darker ash gray black option.

What ties the lineup together is the subtle finish. These are not neon notebooks or bright planner colors. They are meant to look classic, a little leathery, and grown-up. That makes them easy to use for work, personal journaling, or as a gift.

Khaki cream

Khaki cream is the lightest and softest-looking option. It has an off-white, light brown feel that looks more unusual than a standard black or brown notebook. In the video, it stands out because it feels clean but still warm. The two-tone page edges also make it look more detailed than a plain cream cover.

This is probably the best choice if you want a notebook that feels gentle, decorative, or a little more giftable. It is still neutral, but it has more personality than black.

Brown options

The brown shades are the most classic leather-journal choices. Desert brown has a warmer tan look, while cocoa brown goes a little deeper and richer. These are the colors I would pick if I wanted the notebook to feel traditional without going all the way to black.

The two-tone page edges work especially well with the brown covers because they add depth. They make the notebooks look less flat and more like objects you would enjoy keeping on a desk.

Ash gray black

Ash gray black is the most understated and professional option. It is the one I would choose for work notes, office use, or someone who does not want a lighter cover showing wear. It still has the LeStallion texture and edge contrast, but it feels more minimal.

If you are buying as a gift and do not know the person’s color taste, black is usually the safest option. It is less distinctive than khaki cream or desert brown, but it is also the easiest to match with everything.

Paper and format notes

The collection is not only about color. These LeStallion notebooks are known for 120 gsm paper, numbered pages, and table of contents pages, which gives them a more structured feel than a basic blank journal. They are available in lined and dotted versions, so the right version depends on whether you write traditional journal entries or prefer bullet-journal-style layouts.

If fountain pens are part of the appeal, the thicker paper is one of the reasons to consider this brand. The video points viewers toward the more detailed LeStallion review for the full paper discussion, but the collection overview makes clear that the colors are the main focus here.

Pros and cons

How to choose a color

If you are stuck between the colors, I would start by thinking about where the notebook will live. For an office desk, work bag, or meeting notebook, ash gray black is the easiest choice because it looks the most neutral and professional. For personal journaling at home, the lighter khaki cream or warmer brown shades feel a little softer and more expressive.

It also depends on how much visible wear bothers you. Darker covers tend to hide marks better, while lighter covers can look more special but may show handling sooner. The nice thing about this LeStallion lineup is that all of the colors stay within the same calm family, so none of them feel like a risky choice if you already like earth tones.

For gifting, I would choose cocoa brown or black unless you know the person loves lighter notebooks. Those two colors feel the most universal. For someone who already owns lots of black journals, khaki cream is the more memorable option.

FAQ

Small details that help

One thing I like about seeing the full lineup together is that the notebooks feel consistent rather than random. The covers have different personalities, but the page edges, bookmark style, and soft-cover shape keep them clearly in the same family. That makes it easier to buy more than one if you want different colors for different uses: black for work, cream for personal journaling, and brown for everyday notes.

Final Thoughts

The LeStallion notebook collection is strongest if you already like the brand’s paper and format, but need help choosing a color. The lineup is cohesive, subtle, and easy to recommend for people who prefer earth tones over bright covers. Khaki cream is the prettiest soft option, the browns are the most classic, and ash gray black is the most practical.

If you want a refined A5 journal with thick paper and a leather-inspired look, this collection is worth a look. Just choose the color based on how visible you want the notebook to be: light and distinctive, warm and classic, or dark and professional.
