I purchased the Anuschka Check-book cover (Premium Peacock Safari) to go with my Peacock Lily handbag.  It is as beautiful as my bag (which is saying something!); the pictures do not do these works of art justice.

The peacock feather is iridescent, and the colors are vibrant.  The leather is very soft and supple, the stitching is beautiful, neat, and even.  I was pleased to see that the same artisan that painted my bag also painted my check-book cover (these are signed pieces of art, after all!).  I have caught myself taking it out of my bag so I can see how the light plays on the colors.  It is a joy to look at.

The ID pocket on the "back" (really, you could make either side the front) is well made and appears to be sturdy.  The "pockets" for your checkbook register are just right; they slide in easily, but with not a lot of extra "play" -- they will not readily fall out.

My only "complaint" (and it isn't really) is that this checkbook cover is made for those who do not write "duplicate" checks.  While it would be nice to have had the option of a regular vs duplicate checkbook, I've solved the problem by cutting an old plastic checkbook cover so that I have the writing panel.  One could have done just as well with a stiff piece of poster board cut to size.

I would highly recommend Anuschka products, and absolutely love the artwork on this particular design.
