Classic "Original" Journal

Our Most Popular

$100.00

Qty

5” × 7.5”, Dark Chocolate Brown Leather, Bamboo Paper, $100

The Original Journal is by far our most popular all ‘round book. Small and portable while still being large enough for most adults to rest their wrist on for comfortable writing. Page size is perfect for photos, postcards, etc. This particular option is the classic look with the Chocolate Brown leather that starts out a bit pristine ( but with the random scar possibly ),and typically with a bit of a sheen, but then breaks in like a dream. More than any other leather, this one develops the beautiful patina that most people are looking for. But you have to really use it to make it age… rough it up, rub it, fondle it, drop-kick it, and rub it some more! There are 100 pages of our incredibly versatile bamboo paper, which is great for everything from sketching with pencils or micro-tip pens, light watercolor… or just use it for writing… it’s great with any pen!
