Classic A5 Leather Journal Set
Classic A5 Leather Journal Set
Hand-crafted Leather Journal
Each journal is handcrafted in very small batches from my home studio in Auckland, New Zealand. From selecting the leather, down to the packaging, every piece is carefully made by hand with the intention of creating something you'll enjoy and carry with you in your journey for years.
I source my leather from NZ small business owners, choosing each hide in person so I can see and feel its quality before bringing it back to the studio.
Any chrome-tanned leather options are NZ made, while the veg-tanned (natural) is not due to veg-tanning not being available in NZ. However, we still have purchased them from local sellers.

The Making
Every Piece is One of a Kind
Leather is a natural material, so you may notice small surface marks, wrinkles or healed scars. It will also scratch, wear, and age beautifully as you collect stories and memories with it over time. These are part of the character of the piece, ensuring no two journals are ever exactly alike.
Handmade, Start to Finish
Leathercraft began as a passion project and remains one today. I try to keep every stage of the process as traditional, local and hands-on as possible. Each journal is cut, assembled, dyed (where applicable), finished and packaged by hand in my home studio.
From start to finish, each piece takes between 2-3 hours to complete. It's a slower way of making things, but one I believe results in something far more meaningful.
A Personal Promise
As every journal is made to order and personalised, I don't offer returns or exchanges. However, if something isn't quite right, simply send me an email. I'll personally look into it and do everything I can to make it right.
