van der spek custom a5 codex in sakura croco:
In July of 2019, I placed another custom order with VDS. This time it was for an A5 Codex (notebook cover) in the waitlist leather Sakura Croco. The Sakura is a velvety suede-like leather. It’s gorgeous but I found susceptible to wear easily. I also found that its difficult to truly capture the color of this beauty in photos. I’ve included a few pictures below but also check out my youtube video to get more of an idea of coloring! I included my customizations below.
The A5 codex is VERY roomy. I fit a Moleskine Classic daily (more like an A5 slim) along with an A5 1/2 year stalogy in mine easily. Note that I didn’t lengthen the strap on the codex, just widened the clasp!
I love this planner. Even though I may go in and out of using it, an A5 codex is a staple in any planner collection.
