Leather Journal
Leather Journal
A handmade pocket journal capable of holding one’s most intimate thoughts, grocery lists, and other unmentionables. No two journals are exactly alike; each is bound in leather and filled with a variety of smooth papers suitable for pen and pencil writing. The leather is lightweight with natural edges and the stitching is done in a decorative long stitch using waxed thread.
