Handcrafted Leather Journal | Embossed Leather Sketchbook & Notebook | Travel & Standard Sizes | Personalised Gift

A handcrafted leather journal with a deeply embossed leaf motif, hand-dyed in a rich forest green and bound the traditional way — with handmade copper rings, a wrap-around cord closure, and soft deckle-edged pages inside. It's built in the classic travelers-notebook style, with a removable paper core so you can keep writing long after the original pages are full. Available in two sizes — a compact Travel size and a larger Standard size — with free single-letter embossing on every journal.

► Personalize It

Each journal can be embossed for free with a single decorative capital letter (A–Z) on the bottom-right corner of the title page — just add your letter of choice to the order notes at checkout. Each letter stamp measures about 3cm x 3cm and comes with its own ornate flourish design, so no two letters look quite alike.

► A Note on the Leather and Paper

This journal is made from genuine vegetable-tanned top-grain cowhide, hand-dyed and embossed with a leaf-vein pattern — because it's a natural material, you may notice small variations in color, texture, or grain between journals. The paper core is entirely handmade: the cover paper is hand-colored, the page edges are left deliberately rough and uneven (deckle-edged), and everything is hand-sewn together. These aren't flaws — they're what gives this journal its natural, vintage character, and it will only look better the more it's used.

► What's Included

Purchase comes with a limited-edition gift set: a hand-stitched full grain leather pen sleeve and a handmade copper pen. Gift colors are assigned at random and can't be requested — available while supplies last.

► Care Instructions

Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Wipe the leather cover clean with a soft, dry cloth. Because the paper core is removable, you can continue using the same leather cover indefinitely by swapping in a fresh paper insert once it's full.
