    I love the No. 8! It was/is perfection IMO. Gosh I wish I would have tried Cody...I came close but thought it reminded me too much of my Creme Brulee- which used to be my favorite...Currently using the Strider snap, in B6 and Extra Wide No.10 Strider. I was so happy when you came out with the snap, as my three cats literally went in the TN closet and "trimmed" all the elastics on all the TNS they could. AND I cannot leave them (the TNS not the cats) hanging around. lol. I bought a lot of replacement elastics until the snap. I also thought the removable pen loop was brilliant as well as the one that was cut out...I just do not get upset about these kinds of things, and cannot wrap around the kind of hate that came from creating- except that you have passionate and expressive followers who don't hold back which I guess is good as it has helped you in adjusting accordingly. I loved every bit of this video. Happy Saturday morning - at least that's when I am watching! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Dear Jennifer! Keep creating. I love all my Sparrows. ALSO SO Glad I got all my STriders while I could.

I like mild manner excitement anyway, sometimes it can be too over the top and not genuine so I appreciate your expressions. I am the one person you speak of that absolutely LOVED the removable pen loop...hahahah; I don't like pens exposed in my handbag so I love the option to remove then I place it back on when I am lounging at home. It's awesome that you listen to your customers b'coz that is who come back over and over so high-five. I pray you have many years of success and look forward to what you create in the upcoming years.

    Two things: 1. I wish that I'd been on the Chic Sparrow train when the Cody (Kody?) leather was available because it is stunning! Fortunately, it reminds me of Artist which is, hands down, my favorite leather. 2. When you mentioned the removable pen loop on the Number 7, I was thinking about how much I loved that idea and wishing that I had one. Then, something told me to look at the only Number 7 that I have in my collection, which is in B6 size, and lo' and behold, I have one with a removable pen loop 🤣! (I love it when you wish for something and find that you already own it.) It's strange to me that the removable pen loop garnered so much hate. I'd love to know why because it's an ingenious design, and I didn't even notice it. I use that particular TN almost every day since it holds my favorite sketchbook, and never once did I notice that I could remove the pen loop. It never got in my way or bothered me. Sorry about the hate that you got for that one.

      @@CeruleanCzarina Kody was a little more supple than Artist. Both are great though.
      I think the number one complaint on the RPL was they were worried it would fall out. Mine never has but people use things in their own way and that’s not always the same as me. Looking back I can laugh about it. Not everything is a win and I’m okay with that.

    I know you have decided you don’t care for pen loops anymore, but pleeease bring back a few custom options that include a pen loop. An option to add a pen loop or a front pocket, a secretarial pocket instead of the folio pocket on a number 10. Also maybe offer an option for a number 8 snap closure. Even a RPL for the designs that don’t have a pen loop. But I won’t purchase any new designs or more of the number 10 until there is a pen loop option. I really can’t stress enough how much I dislike using one of the front pockets to clip my pen. Within a week of use it had stretched and pulled that pocket to the point of ruin. It looks absolutely terrible, so I stored it away. It breaks my leather lovin’ heart that I ruined a beautiful leather notebook by using a pen loop hack.

There are many portions out there that work great for pens. Have you use the adhesive pen loops on one of your inserts? I will consider a pen-loop on the 11.
