DESCRIPTION
Rustic and functional! The outer edge is hand torn and beautifully

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)

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!
