Age-Old Craft Meets Everyday Writing
This Artisan Leather Writing Notebook is where age-old craft and modern design meet. The cover is made from full-grain burgundy leather, hand-sewn with waxed linen thread using methods polished over centuries in European binderies. Each notebook is bound one at a time, so no two are quite the same—little differences in the leather give every one its own character.
Inside sit 192 pages of 160gsm cotton rag paper, the very material artists and archivists turn to for its longevity and the fine way it takes ink. The paper carries a faint texture that welcomes both pen and pencil, with barely any ghosting even from fountain pens. Sewn in signatures, the book lies completely flat when opened—a must for serious writing.
Beauty That Deepens Over Time
With regular use the leather takes on a rich patina, turning your notebook into a personal keepsake that only grows lovelier with age. Where synthetic covers fade or crack, full-grain leather actually gets better—it darkens, softens, and gathers character marks that tell the tale of your writing. This isn't wear and tear; it's a change for the better. The notebook becomes unmistakably yours.
The elastic band and ribbon marker round off the design. Whether you're a novelist, poet, journalist, or working writer, this notebook lifts the daily act of writing. It's the sort of tool you'll reach for first—not out of duty, but because it simply feels right in your hands.
Product Information
The burgundy of the leather cover can differ a touch from one notebook to the next, owing to the natural variation in full-grain leather. That's a quality, not a flaw—each piece shows off the genuine material. The photos give a sense of the usual colour and finish. Leather will naturally lighten or darken with light and use. We dispatch every order within 5-7 working days. Because each notebook is hand-sewn, small differences in binding and stitching are normal and to be expected.

Care & Everyday Use
This notebook is made to be used. Don't tuck it away like a precious relic—it's built for daily writing. The leather cover will pick up a patina from handling, which is exactly what we're after. The odd splash of water won't hurt the leather, though leaving it soaked for long isn't wise. If it does get wet, just let it air-dry on its own somewhere with good airflow.
To keep the leather in good shape, you can rub in a little leather conditioner or beeswax every so often—say once or twice a year. That keeps it supple and helps the patina along. Buff the cover gently with a soft cloth. Try not to leave it in direct sunlight for long stretches, since that can fade the natural burgundy faster than you'd like. Keep it somewhere cool and dry when it's not in use. The elastic band will guard your pages against dust and knocks.
