Should I get a leather or a cloth photo album?

Question

Hi I have a hard time deciding which photo album to get.

1. A leather album or A cloth album

2. A 3 Ring Binder album or a Book Bound album

3. 3 Pictures or 2 Pictures per a page

Most of the pictures will be my baby pictures.

I am thinking about the hudson but I don't know whether to get which type.

I am also thinking about the Catalina, which is a ring binder.

Which one is sturdier, a ring binder or a book bound? Can you guys give me the pros and cons?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Book bound would look more professional and expensive, especially in leather. If it is well made, it should be very sturdy.

However, the ring binder leaves you way more options in regards to editing the album (for example if your grandmother suddenly finds a couple of precious photos, or your first ever finger-painting you'd like to add to the collection).

If you have the need to impress someone, I'd go with option one.

If it something to be enjoyed and looked at, I'd go with #2.
