Here’s our guide to choosing a leather journal for yourself or a loved one.

  • Luxurious feel
  • The sophisticated, classic appearance
  • Durable and long-lasting
  • Low maintenance (Check out our Guide to Caring for Your Leather Journal)
  • Full of character
  • Can look better with time
  • Unique

Many professional and amateur writers choose leather journals to protect their ideas and projects in a classic, beautiful way.

 

What to Consider When Choosing a Leather Journal

1. Type of Leather

Various leathers have unique characteristics. Our handmade journals are handcrafted from genuine New Zealand and Australian leather. The type of leather you choose depends on the appearance, feel, and durability you prefer.

The two types of leather we use are:

  • Crazy Horse — Combination of tanned Buffed bovine sides with a milled and wax finish creating a lovely vintage appearance. Crazy Horse gets a pull-up/ burnished effect when rubbed. Each piece of this leather is completely one-of-a-kind and rich with character. Available in a creamy, classic brown colour or stormy grey colour.
  • Raw Cacao — A buffed, top grain bovine leather, with a nubuck finish and warm brown colour.

 

2. Size

A larger leather journal is best for sketches or serious writers, while smaller journals are more convenient for:

  • Travelling with
  • Outdoor journalling
  • Writing down ideas on the go

The size of the journal you choose depends on your needs.

 

3. How Many Pages Will You Need?

Refillable leather journals are convenient and versatile, allowing users to switch out the paper and re-fill the journal as often as needed. Between leather’s natural durability and the option to refill pages, one journal could last a lifetime.

 

4. Closure Style

When it comes to leather journals, the small details matter too. Our journals are fully customisable, including the closure. Of course, the choice comes down to your preference as both styles are equally functional and beautiful.

Choose a snap-style closure if you want quick access to your journal and an organised feel. Our wrap style closure features an elegant, secure tie closure that adds an extra special touch to your journal.
