I used motern for several years now, and I was the one who bugged them about inserting 30mm rings in their pocket rings. I'm glad that it worked. I like it
Oh, awesome! Yes, thank you for bugging them about it. It's nice to see someone out there taking the leap on 30mm rings for pockets. This Moterm edition is a favorite, for sure!
Hope you enjoy this pocket Moterm! My two favorite planner brands are Franklin and Moterm. Personally, there's no way I'd want to spend money on a planner that doesn't give me the ability to swap out the rings, if they are damaged over time and heavy use. Franklin has always been my favorite, but with their prices going up so much lately, Moterm is a great option.
If you find printable pocket inserts you like but you want more. You can increase the size to 105%. That is considered pocket plus. I have upgraded to pocket plus with 30mm rings and it works great!
I absolutely adore your planner, and videos… But I am partial to the Filofax Mini 5 Malden only because I work Hospice and prefer things that fit in my scrubs pockets… That pink Filofax is adorable 🥰 you are an inspiration…
Hello. Enjoyed your video. I discovered Moterm this year. I usually buy Hobonichi covers but was not into this years selection. So in a span of 2 weeks I have ordered a Moterm Weeks, two A6 as a gift and one for myself and a passport TN. I just got the A6 yesterday and I was amazed with the feel, smell and the quality. So glad to have discovered this brand.
I'm deeply in love with my black medium Gillio Compagna, but the leather is exquisite! I have several Gillios, but this black one is exceptional, soft and delicate. I'm currently waiting on two regular personal from Moterm in the colours Apricot and Chestnut. I convinced myself that the Chestnut would be the perfect work planner. Can't wait to see them, touch them, smell them and set them up!
That’s a beautiful color! I purchased the Apricot Wks cover. I love the leather, but I’ll have to see how I adjust to the teeter-tottering when I write. Thank you for sharing! ❤️🤗
These are gaining popularity very fast. I’ve seen several pics and reviews on them, but don’t think I’d buy only cause I love Krause rings and I don’t think they’re compatible with Moterms. The color and texture are gorgeous though!
Amazon has one called smartfee and to my understanding it's just like moterm but cheaper, can change the rings. Plus lighter then the moterm. I do not own one yet but have been researching them and have my eye on one but it is out of stock at the moment.
I cut my inserts “pocket plus” which is 3.5 x5. I just got my full grain leather in Chestnut. It’s so cute! Between the pocket rings, personal rings, and Weeks covers I think I have every color except Apricot! I probably won’t buy another Gillio now and feel bad about how much money I’ve spent on them.
I have moterm in their folio A6, B6 pebble covers and weeks croco. I the the price point for the quality and pockets! I prefer the pebble but I know it doesn't feel like leather I am used to so I am really excited they are coming out with product in top grain! They are all sold out of most colors. I also hope they will make folios in top grain eventually. I want one!
pocket rings don't work for me, but i ended up browsing their amazon storefront and buying a couple personal sized flyleafs 😆 i'm digging the card slots on them 💕
I own several of the litchi peppled Moterms, a couple of the crocs, but no TNs. I just bought the veg tanned in personal, B6 and A5+. My B6 crimson is the only one that I look at side-eyed. It has a sheen to it, but the inside looks like real leather. I'm thinking I got one that is over saturated with dye? I'm still keeping it though. I love these planners and I haven't had any major issues with them. Thanks for sharing.
I have a Moterm weeks cover in their new veg tan leather... and lets just say I don't see myself purchasing another Gillio. Same quality leather, huge price difference. I'm waiting for Moterm to come out with their A6 ring covers in their new leather collection, just like you I like to have that back pocket to slip in a notebook (currently using an A6 rings Aura Estelle for my rings, affordable, adjustable strap, and it comes in 30 MM rings too). I'm looking forward to your pocket set up, love how creative you get in your videos!
Moterm covers look much better than Filos because in my opionion "the double lining" in the edge of Filo looks silly 😁 And Moterm's pockets, wow!!! 😍😍😍
I have known of moterm but never got one being late on everything 😅 but I just got a dupe of normal pocket in pink - because they will change the designs and upgrade and change colors then you can’t find it anymore. This new line looks great but I don’t like how the texture of planner outside doesn’t match the closure… that sort of bothers me!
Had a moterm travelers notebook. It was a gorgeous red, it smelled horrible and was incredible sticky, making it unusable. Put it in a drawer, found it all moldy a while later and tossed it out, so bummed!
I know these are the new shiny thing to get in the planner community. But the strap is a different leather than the rest I just don't trust moterm to not cut corners. I would be shocked if ALL of the planner was " full grain leather " because for a pocket size they are still too expensive for the brand.
It looks lovely, I just hope they are made to last as I understand Moterm is a Chinese company. Van Der Spek (quality, customization options etc.) will always be in a league of their own, but I can see Moterm's natural leather line being a major competitor for Gillio! I definitely would choose Moterm now over Gillio's much higher priced covers as I was never impressed with their leathers and these even look to be a better and nicer quality leather. Enjoy your beautiful planner!
Why the assumption that because it’s made in china it won’t last? Moterm has been well loved and raved about for years, I have yet to see someone say ‘it didn’t hold up, I guess because it’s Chinese’
