The most GORGEOUS sketchbook you have never heard of: VICEVERSA (better than Fabriano?)

My first YouTube video!!!! Starting out with a review of this amazing watercolour (and all-media, really) sketchbook that I recently came across during a trip to Venice, Italy.

PLEASE NOTE: this is not a sponsored post, all content is my opinion only, and I paid for my sketchbook out of my own pocket (I even paid more than the company sells it for because I bought it in a really nice brick & mortar shop, so paid the shop's premium!).
I did contact VICEVERSA for some further info and they sent me some of the photos I have added in the video, but other than that, I had never had any communications with them before this. And even though I am a nobody, they were super responsive and nice, unlike some other companies I have contacted in the past to ask for info about their products, who’ll just… ghost you.

I was so taken with this sketchbook that while making this video, I bought some more, different sketchbooks from the VICEVERSA website - I will update you when they arrive (international shipping takes a while, but including shipping I averaged £15 per sketchbook, including a couple of A4 sketchbooks, which is great)!

NOTE # 2: In order to make the links below clickable YouTube is asking me to scan a QR code on my phone or send them a copy of my ID using my phone. I don't actually have a smartphone (I have an old school Nokia, a laptop and an iPad - just not a smartphone!) so I was not able to, and YouTube says it will take a couple of months for links to become active. There are no other options. It's really frustrating! Apologies for this

**If you made it this far, thank you @thefrugalcrafter - I didn’t know where to start to write a description such as the above as this is my first time posting an art materials video to YouTube, so I used the structure of one of your descriptions as a template to get started - CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE **
