Love the Lime Green, but Burnt Orange--oh, yeah!

sporter — Thu, 6 Mar 2008 23:40:37 -0500

I have the book cloth AND the leather Circas in lime green and love that color. It makes me soooooooooooo happy! I even put my job search materials in them ...alas, to no avail. No job. Of course, I live in a town with no librarian jobs open so....no prob! Trailing spouse issue.

I agree-Burnt Orange would be awesome.

Hanging Archive Storage

There is a picture here of a strip cut from a Pendaflex-type hanging folder and smurf-punched. Disc bound notebooks can be attached to this and hung in a hanging file drawer. For 3x5 cards, you can do 2 or 3 across, depending on the orientation.

Eggplant

I have three items in eggplant - a letter zip folio, a letter jacket, & the St. Tropez bag. The color is awesome! Does anyone have ideas about storing the Circa pages? I don't necessarily want to buy a storage system.

Is it the blue shown in the linked picture below?

That's a letter-size Circa notebook that came free with another item I bought, a plastic carry case.

Way back in 2001, I bought a few items from Levenger in a color named 'Blue' - yes, just blue. I really like that color, and since I was using Circa back then, I missed my chance to get a leather notebook in that color.

I've been looking at that bookcloth blue, and trying to figure out how close it is to the old blue.

I would adore if some circa were available in a nice bright tangerine orange. Lively, funky but still not 'out there' to draw too much attention ;P

(The bookcloth blue is all I can focus on lately... temptations are growing. ... anyone know if there's been some user feedback around our boards on those new products? )

I'd love a rich, soft Cordovan as a standard color in the Circa line. Purple is also fun. Not all of us love contrast stitching, though.

Colours to match the Levenger FP Inks?

kmorris — Mon, 3 Mar 2008 12:24:54 -0500

I would love to have covers that match the pen ink I'm using.
Maybe the leather, book-cloth and translucent could all match up to the ink colors. I don't think I'd buy a whole set of the leather covers (at least not all at once), but I could definitely see getting a packaged set of the Slightly Wild translucents and/or Classic translucents.

So here are my color votes:
Fireball (orange red), Smoke (dove gray), Blue Bahama (has a shot of turquoise), Always Greener (as green as grass), Skies of Blue (the blue of a spring sky) and Pinkly

Cardinal Red, Amethyst, Gemstone Green, Raven Black, Cocoa and Cobalt Blue

Oh, and while we're matching Levenger inks, why are Fiber Tip owners discriminated against; I REALLY REALLY want to be able to get Fiber Tip refills in all the colors, from both sets!

please?
pretty please?
pretty please with Pinkly sugar on top?

More Fantasy Covers

More Fantasy Covers

The last post got spammed and lost in space but thanks to innowen I can now post links without the big foot, thanks innowen. :) Okay, Rasmussen is Ryan is Levenger. Thank you for explanation. Not many people sign their name so is confusing.

Snowed again last night so added a few more covers. I don’t actually like many of them, and still want the “Koi Fish”,

I saw Rasmussen peeked there.

But for the hot leather covers you want to see Filofax,

The Finsbury Tangerine is absolutely awesome, I have one. And for plastic covers, hard to beat ADOC,

They only ship within the US though.

bomber jacket interior

notebklover — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 03:07:17 -0500

Not sure which "collection" this would fit into, but I really love the bomber jacket leather. But what stops me from considering it is the interior -- too masculine. That choice surprised me, because the bomber jacket leather itself, manly as it is, is also very appealing to women (at least this one).

I do not understand the

I do not understand the comment “pets Ryan”.

Ryan is the Levenger rep and will convey our wishes and desires back to his people in the office. In the past, he has worked with DIYP members and developed new products for the Levenger catalog, particularly in the Circa range.

Dear Rasmussen

thank you for asking

--rich, hurt-your-eyes-with-such-saturated-chroma, BLUE VIOLET

-- semi-gloss Black with bright vermillion red (blue red) piping and slightly darker vermillion guts

brown scuffed bomber jacket, no seams, just vintage looking scuffed (I'd buy that in a heartbeat to match my for really scuffed over the years, big satchel)

black lightweight leather cover with bold red stitching AND with RED cloth holding the metal zippers

cheapo toss off circa binders and zippered notebooks for kids: bright colors, big-toothed colored plastic zippers in tangerine, fluoresents, passion pink; grunge covers that look like they have been run over by a fleet of bulldozers

Lady leather: whatever subtle color outside, and inside a trim on each side of zippered notebook...the usual pockets, but with their edges laser cut with a lace border

the light rich color of camel that matches rich men's cashmere camel overcoats, and as soft and supple to touch

and last but not least, as a queen in my own Latina heritage... I'd venture four more wishes for treasures

--sunrise leather zip folio of cordovan with indian red sun (This is leather that is dyed one color, but the center is dyed another color, and one is feathered into the other as though a sunrise in the midst of the leather; it is sometimes used in furniture, in purses, one of the most striking a black field with a yellow sun)

a small black notebook of leather with levenger's signature brand on it, and all attached to a long long silver link chain, for zoot suit stylin' ......

make the next two, and I will order ten and take a loan on my car

Mexican unpainted tooling (roses and thorn vines are good) --deep cut- on pale (toward rosy color) leather with same colored cloth on the zippers

Motorcycle/Low Rider black ;eather (semi-sheen) with big silver toothed zippers and silver disks on the enclosed circa notebook which has a black smoke cover with one small flame in the lower right corner, as though it is coming from the notebook contents

can I work as a designer for levengers? I can design things heavenly... yes, I can. lol
