Handcrafted in Australia - an Artisan Tradition

Hand stitched leather journals have a magical quality!  Used for hundreds of years, you can feel this tradition when you hold one.

Handcrafted in the style of an earlier era, each journal is a work of art and signed by the Binder.  Read about the Leather Journal story here...>

The Treasured Qualities of a Handcrafted Journal:

  • Strength - the hand stitched pages result in a stronger journal than glued books
  • Flexibility - the soft leather covers tuck easily into bags, pockets and backpacks - unlike hard covered books
  • Easy to write in - pages lay flat - NO spiral bindings
  • Protection - the wrap around cover protects the fore edge of the pages, the wrapping strap helps to hold the cover securely closed
  • Sensual - the feel of a handcrafted leather journal delights the senses.  Soft and flexible to the touch and visually beautiful
  • A Sense of Ritual - the wrapping and unwrapping of the journal is a moment of ritual that many leather journal owners savour
  • It's Your Story - Writing becomes an experience again!  Holding a writing instrument in your hand and making your mark is very personal.

This Handcrafted Journal features:

  • A5 Leather Journal (approx 21cm H x 15cm W - Half an A4)
  • Quality genuine leather handcrafted cover
  • Genuine kangaroo leather wrap around strap
  • 192 pages
  • Italian Paper in ivory creme
  • 100gsm paper weight
  • Hand folded and pierced
  • Hand stitched pages
  • Italian Aurifil Egyptian Cotton thread
  • Signed by the Binder
  • Totally handmade by a book lover in Australia
A5 is a very popular size.  Favoured for it's ease of portability while still allowing plenty of room for lots of writing, sketches, keepsakes and personal style within the pages.
 
Ideal for writers, poets, song writers, travel thoughts, sketches, journal keepers and all those who love to keep treasures within pages of books!  
 
And of course - the perfect companion for sharing your story while sitting under that favourite tree, or discreetly in the back of that wonderful cafe where the coffee is as rich as the constant evolving cast of characters.

    Excellent Quality and Presentation

    Posted by Peta on 3rd Jul 2017

    This Journal was a gift for my daughter's 21st and we were so impressed. The quality and presentation is excellent and knowing that the Journal is handmade made it even more special and something to treasure and keep for the years to come. We had it personalised as well and as my daughter loves writing and reading books, this meant a lot to her. I highly recommend if you are looking for that extra special gift of very high quality.

    Leather Journal

    Posted by Michael on 7th Nov 2016

    The Journal was lighter in weight than expected. That is my only possible negative but really not a negative at all. I thank Beverley so much for getting this item to us so quickly, it was beautifully packaged. The quality of the leather is under stated. When opened, I known it hit the mark! Thank you.

    beautiful craftmanship

    Posted by Sian on 9th Sep 2016

    This was a gift for a friend. The journal was impeccably crafted and the leather was beautiful. The colour was an imperfect wash that added to the authenticity. Beverley was a delight to deal with, clearly takes pride in her art, and accommodated my order with immediate responses each time. Highly recommend if you want a special gift for yourself or loved ones that supports artisan work.

    Little Black Book

    Posted by DanielleM on 24th Apr 2016

    This is a gorgeous journal. It's the 3rd that I've ordered from Bookseed. Beverley's work is meticulous, and she's very easy to deal with. I love everything about this little black book, from how the leather is finished, to how the journal is presented when it arrives. Thanks for a gorgeous journal, Beverley.

    My Own Piece Of Chesterfield.

    Posted by Danielle on 24th Apr 2016

    I'm thrilled that this A5 journal is made with the same leather that Chesterfield construct their furniture from. Now I own a little piece of Chesterfield! The colour of the leather is gorgeous, and the journal is produced beautifully. Beverley really is an artist who a) knows her trade, and b) cares about what she's producing. I loved dealing with her. She made the whole purchasing process easy, and was swift to deliver my journals. Excellent work!

    Stunning A5 Journal

    Posted by Danielle on 24th Apr 2016

    This is one of 3 journals that I ordered from Bookseed, and Beverley's work is fantastic. I love that this journal is made from the same leather that Chesterfield use to construct their furniture. It's nothing short of gorgeous. It's well constructed, and came beautifully presented. Best of all, I didn't have to wait for weeks for this little beauty to arrive. Prompt and courteous service, AND a beautiful product. What more could you ask for?
