DESCRIPTION
This gorgeous handmade Italian leather journal is soft yet incredibly
durable. The outer edge is an elegant ‘V’ shaped envelope design and
the journal has a long strap closure to keep it tightly closed. It also
boasts handcrafted wooden beads woven into its binding and comes
complete with a sewn-in ribbon bookmark in a color to compliment
your chosen leather.
PAPER
Each size journal contains 200 hand torn pages (back/front). The
paper is a hearty 67 lb. ivory colored vellum (What is vellum?) card stock
that gives the journal a wonderful thickness. Due to its hand torn
nature, paper may be slightly uneven and jagged, causing a wonderfully
rustic and aged look.
- Color: Ivory
- Thickness: 67 lb. card stock (32 lb. card stock when extra pages
are purchased to prevent journal bulkiness)
- Details: acid & lignin free (archival quality)
- Unlined paper (lined paper available for $5)
This journal is refillable! Click here for details!
BINDING/SHAPING METHOD
Your journal is made completely from scratch in our shop (so we know
that it's made correctly); we start with a hand cut piece of leather and
heavy weight card stock glued together for a strong structure. We then
shape the binding and hand stitch all the pages directly to the leather
with heavyweight binding thread. This thread is ideal because it allows
for a good amount of stretch without breaking and prevents the pages
from tearing out over time. Also if the journal does break for some
reason, we do free repairs for the life of the journal!
