Leather Scroll Journal with Handmade Paper, Brown

Leather Scroll Journal with Handmade Paper, Brown

For Your Thoughts and Adventures

This journal is ideal as a personal diary, a travel log, a sketchbook, or a grimoire for your fantasy stories and ideas. The act of handwriting has been proven to enhance memory and creativity. Physically writing on paper helps you to better organize your thoughts and form a deeper connection to your own words and ideas in today's digital world. The paper is suitable for writing with a pencil, pen, and even for calligraphy.

The journal boasts a soft yet durable cover made of genuine cowhide leather in a rich brown colour with a natural, slightly wrinkled texture. The inside of the leather is a lighter, natural tan. When unrolled, it reveals approximately 50 sheets (100 pages) of high-quality handmade paper. The paper has a creamy, off-white hue and characteristic uneven, deckle edges, which are a testament to its artisanal origin. The entire scroll is secured simply by wrapping the long leather thong around it.

A Note on Natural Materials

As this is a product made from natural materials, the specific shade and texture of the leather and paper may vary slightly from the photos. This makes every single piece a true original.

A Glimpse into History

The predecessor to the modern book (the codex) was the scroll, most often made of papyrus or parchment. In ancient Rome and Greece, scrolls were the standard for preserving literary works and official records. The transition from the impractical scroll to the codex—that is, bound sheets—which took place between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD, was a revolution in the dissemination of information. It allowed for easier reading, page-turning, and storage of texts. This journal's design, therefore, hearkens back to a thousands-year-old tradition of preserving knowledge.

How to Care For Your Journal

To ensure this leather treasure serves you for as long as possible and retains its beauty, give it a little care.

• Protect the leather from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which could dry it out.
• To revitalize and protect the leather, you can very sparingly use a wax-based leather care product.
• The paper is sensitive to moisture, so store the journal in a dry place.
• Be sure to avoid contact with water, harsh cleaning agents, or rough mechanical damage.
