Frequently Asked Questions

What leather do you use for your leather journal covers and notebook covers?

Our leather journal covers and leather notebook covers are crafted from full-grain Crazy Horse, Tochigi, and Pueblo leathers. These premium hides age beautifully, developing a rich patina while offering durable protection for your leather writing journal or leather travel journal. We also offer select styles in handmade Italian leather and full-grain A5 leather notebook covers, and we can create custom leather book covers for those who prefer a more refined finish.

Are your leather journals refillable?

Yes. Every handmade leather journal we create is fully refillable and designed to fit standard A5 and A6 notebooks, including compatible sizes from Hobonichi, Leuchtturm1917, and Moleskine that are within approximately 1 inch in thickness. They also fit traveler notebook inserts and most common planning and journaling systems. This lets you replace pages easily while enjoying a cover meant to last a lifetime. We offer refillable leather journal covers, A5 leather notebook covers, and refillable journals in both A5 and A6 formats.

Do you offer custom or personalized leather journals?

Absolutely. We offer custom leather journals with options for initials, monograms, and fully personalized debossing. Whether you want a leather journal with initials, a monogrammed leather journal, or a personalized refillable leather journal, we can craft it precisely to your specifications. We also offer custom artwork for engraved leather journals and leather journal embossed personalized designs.

Can I add embossing or custom stamping to my journal?

Yes. We can emboss names, dates, symbols, and designs onto your handcrafted leather journal. If you need a unique mark or logo, we can order custom leather stamps to apply your exact artwork. An embossed leather journal, engraved leather journal, or personal leather journal makes a memorable personalized gift for writers, travellers, and artists.

Are your journals suitable for travel, sketching, or daily writing?

Definitely. Our leather travel journals and leather writing journals are versatile enough for daily journaling, creative writing, sketching, field notes, planning, and documenting your travels. We also offer leather pocket notebooks, the best pocket notebooks for everyday use, and compact small leather journal designs perfect for EDC.

Do you use imported Italian leather or only Canadian-sourced hides?

We source premium full-grain leathers from North America, Japan, and Italy. Some styles are available in handmade Italian leather for those who prefer a more traditional European look and feel. These options allow us to craft a truly unique handmade Italian leather journal, luxury leather journal, or Italian leather notebook cover when requested.

How do I care for my leather journal?

Simply wipe your leather journal or leather notebook cover with a dry or lightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh cleaners. With regular use, your journal will soften and develop a beautiful, individualized patina. Our full-grain leather journals, leather diary covers, and personalized leather journals are designed to last for years with minimal care.
