I've planned this purchase for a very long time!
In the last weeks of 2014 I could finally get myself to visit this beautiful shop two times in Budapest, Hungary.
I've been browsing their online store every week just to see their awesome products.
BTW Their new website just launched http://www.bomoart.com/
They offer paper, leather and half leather bound notebooks, diaries, sketchbooks among many other things like postcards, greeting cards, calendars, boxes, etc with vintage like designs. Various styles, inspired by the atmosphere of the 1910s, '20s, '30s and '40s, all with amazing detail!
Their designs are quite original.
Everything they offer is hand-made and the quality is top notch. It just feels great in hand!
If you order a half leather bound notebook/planner online, you can select the design you'd like, and the preferred leather color as well!
All in all, when I was browsing online, I was like "OMG!". When I went to the shop, "OMG! OMG! OMG!"
The actual shop is really small, but its filled up completely with their products. Abundant supply.
On half leather bound things you can select from up to 32 paper designs, and form 8 leather colors.
In the diaries the weekly layout is available in 5 sizes, the daily in 4 sizes.
Full leather diaries are also available.
Mine is a half leather bound daily diary in B7 size (12x17,6cm)

The paper itself is pretty thin. I was a little afraid at first, but it's a very pleasant surprise!
It does have a little texture, but takes inks really well!
No bleed through, just show through (obviously), no mentionable feathering either. (except for the VP seen below. That pen can be really wet with the right ink)
Drying time is pretty long! But it also means that sheeny inks can show their beauty!
I've successfully smeared the first line of course

I was thinking about a Hobonichi for a long time, but I'm really happy with this Hungarian beauty :o
