Customer Testimonials

‘Your products are elegant, well crafted and practical, something I wish I could say about more items offered for sale these days... ’

M. S. from Akron, OH

‘I want to thank you for making these incredible products. My new journal and pewter hair pin have already become my treasures. I pour a great deal into my journal writing and am so excited to have a journal that is so worthy! I can feel the integrity in your products and that means so very much in this day of disposable goods. Thanks for the key charm, it was a delightful surprise. Brightest Blessings,’

K Munroe from

‘I bought an Oberon journal when I was in high school, after years of working in a store that sold them. This will be my second year of grad school-- 7 years later-- and I appreiciate my journal more than ever. When the ideas won't come out on the computer, I can always turn to my pen and my Oberon journal to get something going. It's such a joy to hold and write in; an excellent remedy for writer's block!’

K. P. from Cornell University

‘I was truly surprised to find these simple bookmarks to be true pieces of art. You are to be commended for your fine craftsmanship, they have a certain history to them and I know my father will love them. Thank you for the speedy delivery and your responsiveness to customers, it was appreciated. Who knew one could be so happy just over a bookmark?’

G. E. from Seattle, WA

‘I just received it [leather journal] and I must say, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for making such a unique and useful product. I love it!’

S. F. from Lacey, WA

‘I just received a recent order that I had placed. My husband bought these items for me as a gift for our 4th wedding anniversary. I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my gifts. Thank you for the attention that you pay to the quality and craftsmanship of your items. Im sure that we will be ordering from you again in the future.’

M. S. from Akron, OH

‘So glad to see you online! I took your survey when I ordered- but didn't get to do follow up...I didn't get to tell how incredible I thought you were,and how impressed I was at receiving my order so promptly! I ordered something (for myself) and Dec 19th, not expecting to see it till long after Christmas. I got it before Christmas (and even before some other orders I had made earlier than that). I was amazed. Thank you!’

M. C. Exline from

‘Every once in a while one runs across a "find" that is so wonderful you find yourself reluctant to share where you got it with others. Your products are just such a find. As a director of historical documentaries, I appreciate beauty, quality and the importance of handwritten journals in an age of emails and text messaging. You folks are to be commended for exquisite journal writing alive so that future documentaries have some source material!’

B. Miano from

‘I am a writer, and my daily journaling is one of the most important parts of my daily process. I have been using your journals, and love the leather and the atmosphere they create. I also appeciate that they are refillable. Superb!’

C. F. from ------

‘Every year I give my special graduating college seniors presents which I hope they will carry forward into life. This year they will be receiving your very fine leather goods. I am so glad that someone is still making finely crafted objects of art with a useful bent. Thank you so very much!’

T. from -----

‘Where to begin...I purchased a checkbook cover several years ago (after having seen them many times before actually making the purchase.) It is beautiful and durable. I've gotten many compliments on it. This past February I purchased a journal which I love, and today I ordered both an organizer and a bookmark. I am totally sold on your products. They are fabulous.’

A. K. from -----

‘I adore your products, and through carefully placed hints, I manage to receive one or more of them on nearly every gift-giving occasion. At Christmas, my husband gave me an absolutely wonderful five pronged hairpin. It has a beautiful Celtic-knot pewter head and it's the best device I've owned for keeping my 35" long hair in a bun....’

K Davis from

‘Many years ago, when I was young and poor, I frequented an independent bookstore that sold Oberon products. I saved my extra pennies for months and allowed myself to purchase an Oberon checkbook cover, thinking that I would be able to use it for a long time. All these years later, I still use the same checkbook cover which has become smoother and softer with age, llike me!’

‘I am a writer, and my daily journaling is one of the most important parts of my daily process. I have been using your journals, and love the leather and the atmosphere they create. I also appeciate that they are refillable. Superb!’

C. F. from -----

‘I just received my order of the leather portfolio and the additional refill pads illustrated with the Oberon logo in today's mail. The portfolio is beautiful, well crafted and surprisingly lightweight. And the pad insert is elegant and versatile as it can be used as a personal journal or for business purposes. I know I shall enjoy using your wonderful products in the days ahead. Thank you so much!’

S. B. from -----

‘I received one of your tree of life journals for my 30th birthday and have been using it as a journal faithfully for the past 3 years. It is such a special casing that I'm sure I'll never buy another journal.. and I've been writing for 26 years. Time for another few refills. Thanks for your beautiful craftsmanship. Keep up the good work.’

S. Joplin from

‘I just received one of your journals as a birthday present from my daughter and couldn't be happier with it. I am truly impressed by the quality and the fact that it is refillable is a genuine plus. I love the Celtic design, even though I am not Irish, the designs call to my soul. My next purchase will be several of your bookmarks and refills as soon as I fill up this one. Thank you for making such beautiful products.’

Sandy from

‘My organizer and card case arrived today. I'm even more pleased than I'd expected from viewing the photos on the web; the leather is really heavyweight, the designs are beautiful and the quality is the kind that will last a lifetime. The pewter charm tucked in the box was a lovely touch. Thank you so much! I'll be back to your web store for gifts in the future. Best wishes,’

L.Larson from New Jersey

‘Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I ordered your pocket organizer about 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it! It is so much nicer than I though it would be (and I thought it would be nice!) I can't wait to order more things from you. Thank you for the QUALITY product. I also loved the charm you sent with it! Thanks,’

K. Malone from

‘I received my Celtic Braid journal last night and I have to tell you I am impressed!! Not only do you have a superb quality product, but also your service is incomparable!!! My journal is beautiful, as I knew it would be. The silver bookmark is lovely, as well, and I thank you for that. It will get a lot of use. Again thank you for your quick response and generosity. I will continue to purchase Oberon Design products, not only for myself, but for gifts, as well.’

A. Berry from

‘Hi! Just wanted to tell you I received my Very First Journal from you today, and I have to say that it felt like Christmas time! I couldn't wait to rip open the box and grab my pen and GO. Heaven. Well it's more beautiful than I even imagined, brilliantly made. I Love, love it. I will cherish it forever. I'm 47. Here’s to lasting me my lifetime! (and telling the story as I go…) Thank you!’

D. Brite from

‘I received a Celtic knot sketchbook of yours as a gift from my father when I was a sophomore in high school. As my greatest treasure, it was always in my purse at my side, and had been to 7 countries until last spring when it became my greatest loss. I want you folks to know I beat the tar out of that cover for 7 years and it looked better and better with age. I appreciate your craftsmanship and eye for detail. Keep making treasures, and hopefully one day I will be lucky enough to own another of your beautiful pieces to fill with my dreams!’

A. Pollock from

‘I am from Newark in the Bay Area. I now live in Iowa. I have to say I had no idea that I missed the Bay Area so much until I purchased one of your large journals, the Tree of Life in saddle. To see that it was made in Santa Rosa, I was, in a small way back home. I have had the journal for only a short time, however I already have over 53 pages of my drawings inside. Your journal is a work of art, it is a gift to the eyes each time I use it. Thank you Oberon so much. I love your elegant products. This journal will not be my last. Yours truly,’

L. Caldeira from

‘I have been a retailer and user of these fine products or more years than I like to think about, and can say that they hold up better than I DO.. The journals, organizers, checkbooks and other leather goods have only received accolades from any and everyone who is not familiar with these fine articles, and when some folks tell me how long they have had the item, they are often met with disbelief.. My own have nestled in motorcycle saddlebags, messenger bags, suitcases, desks, and with only the OCCASIONAL leather treatment, have lasted and lasted. ’

E. Mozorosky from

‘Eight years ago I purchased an Oberon Design portfolio from a local boutique. At the time I thought it was a bit of a splurge for me. I didn't really need it. However, over time, the value of this true investment has made itself clear. When I have interviewed for a job, people invariably notice it; they try not to stare at it!! I can tell it impresses potential employers and maybe it's lucky but I've always gotten the job offer when I've had this portfolio during my interview! It looks completely professional yet also helps me to stand out from the crowd.’

Dani from

‘The small organizer in a lovely and fragrant shade of saddle came yesterday and I LOVE it. The leather embossing is choice. I just need a silver pen to match the button and I’m good to go. Thank you for continuing to make quality merchandise as American craftsmen. I’d gladly pay whatever you need to charge to buy things that aren't made in China.’

L. Curivan from

‘Years ago, my foster mother bought me one of your journals. She knew I loved dragons and I loved to write, so she though it would be perfect. Actually, I'm really hard on my writing notebooks, so I avoided writing in it until recently. It was so beautiful; I thought it would fall apart within a month due to my very demanding use. Now this book has gone everywhere with me. It's been in battlefields, on hiking trips and carried all over my college campus. Not only is it still together, but it is also just as beautiful as the day she bought it for me.’

A. Zimmerman from

‘I just finished writing in my 2nd Oberon journal; this one took me 7 years to complete, the last one only 3 years. I call them my sacred journal, and when browsing at a local store today, I knew I would have to continue the tradition and write in another one of yours! The quality and craftsmanship is unlike anything you'll find out there, and furthermore, you guys were one of the first, and in my mind the BEST of the leather journal makers. Continue the great work and I'll see you all again in 3 years. Best Wishes,’

A Nelson from

‘I just received my Grandmother Oak organizer and I am in LOVE, but I knew I would be. What I can’t believe is how fast it arrived!! I wanted to say think you for offering such beautiful pieces of art and also to say thank you for the beautiful tree key charm. I first fell in love with Oberon's products 10 years ago. I found a Celtic knot checkbook cover in a little shop in Bellingham Washington and I had to have it. Since then it has been to Mexico, Canada, England & Germany and both of my kids used it to help break in their baby teeth. And it still looks great! Thank you!!’

M Ocheltree from

‘I received my custom made wallet in the gingko pattern. It needs to be said that your company and its products are the epitome of the Art & Crafts movement mentality. You guys truly embody the concept of 'Head, Heart and Hand'. I could not be happier with my quality handmade wallet and have told many others about you. It is also of note that your employees are extremely customer oriented, and are very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for a great experience the entire way through. Keep up the good work!’

C. M. Brandt from

‘The two journals I ordered arrived a few days ago, and I love them. It's such a pleasure in doing business these days, to (1) call and speak to a real human, (2) ask for something special, and hear 'yes, no problem' on the other end of the phone, (3) have it delivered as promised, and then (4) LOVE IT! Thank you for making all four come true.’
