Questions About the Quest

Are the compass and key real metal?

Yes, the compass rose and key charms are made from durable, antique-finish brass metal, designed to be both beautiful and sturdy components of the journal’s closure.

Is the leather stiff or soft?

This journal uses a type of distressed leather that starts with a sturdy feel but becomes increasingly soft and supple with use, molding to your touch and developing a rich, unique patina over time.

I had an issue with my original order, and I can honestly say this was some of the best customer service I’ve received in a long time. The team responded quickly, communicated clearly throughout the process, and corrected everything without hesitation. I live in Nevada and they’re located in Ohio, so I was especially impressed by how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. They’re also the only shop I’ve been able to find that carries my favorite essential oils in the specific scent I love, which makes their service even more appreciated. The replacement arrived perfectly, and the extra item included was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch — it truly showed care and intention. Mistakes can happen anywhere; how they’re handled is what matters. VTrendz handled this beautifully. I’m very grateful for the swift correction, continued communication, and genuine customer care, and I’m absolutely looking forward to ordering again — and often.

This is my favorite place to shop whenever my husbae and I are in Ohio. The female owner has such a refreshing and peaceful energy about herself that it’s so enjoyable. No matter how long it had been since we last shop there, she remembers who we are and greets us so pleasantly and happy. She is always so very helpful and attentive to each and every customer making all of us feel important all at the same timetime. And each of her pieces are so unique and reasonably priced. So if you are looking for that “stand-out” piece, this is the place! You won’t be disappointed!!! Your forever customer!! See you next month…💞💞💞💞
