Leather Journal with Strap and Metal Clasp, Dark Brown, 18x13 cm

Leather Journal with Strap and Metal Clasp, Dark Brown, 18x13 cm

Authentic and Functional Design

This journal is the epitome of honest craftsmanship. The cover is made from genuine buffalo leather, approximately 2 mm thick. The characteristic "vintage" finish of the leather means that every bend, scratch, or touch leaves a mark that eventually blends into a beautiful patina. The wide leather strap holding the clasp mechanism is firmly attached to the cover with antiqued-brass-coloured metal rivets. The sturdy metal clasp is easy to operate and keeps the journal securely closed.

Traditional Binding and Paper for Creatives

The spine of the journal is adorned with a visible and strong cross-stitch binding, executed with a contrasting reddish-brown thread. This traditional binding not only looks great but also guarantees longevity. Inside, you will find 100 leaves (200 pages) of high-quality, handmade paper with a weight of 125 gsm. The paper has a cream shade, a slightly textured surface, and is unlined, making it ideal for writing journal entries as well as sketching, drawing, or calligraphy.

Caring for Your New Journal

This leather journal is made from "pull-up" leather. This type of leather is designed to "work" and develop a patina. Scratches and lighter areas in the creases are natural and desirable characteristics. Protect the journal from excessive moisture. If it gets wet, let it dry slowly at room temperature. From time to time, you can treat the leather with a leather conditioner (ideally beeswax-based) to keep it supple and protected.
