🐂 About the Leather – Badalassi Pueblo (Italy)

This full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather is made by the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy, part of the Consorzio Vera Pelle group committed to sustainable tanning traditions.

Why Pueblo Leather is Special:
★ Soft matte texture with visible natural grain
★ Develops a rich patina with use
★ Natural colour depth that ages gracefully
★ Full-grain durability for lifelong use
★ Handcrafted using traditional, eco-friendly methods
★ Every mark and touch adds character—your notebook becomes uniquely yours

📘 The Notebooks

You’ll receive four plain notebooks—perfect for journaling, sketching, or everyday planning.

• Saddle-stitched binding
• Fits securely with the elastic system
• Easily refillable with new inserts

(If you choose the Moleskine option, you’ll receive four genuine Moleskine Pocket Cahier notebooks—this is reflected in the price.)

🔠 Free Personalization

• Add up to four hand-stamped initials (uppercase only)
• No punctuation or special characters

📏 Size & Compatibility

Available in three sizes: A6, A5, and Pocket (Moleskine/Field Notes).

A6 – 4.1" × 5.8" (105 × 148 mm)
A5 – 8.15" × 5.5" (140 × 207 mm)
Note: The A5 option uses notebooks measuring 14 × 20.7 cm—often called “A5-sized” by manufacturers but slightly smaller than true ISO A5. This ensures compatibility with most popular refills.
Pocket (Moleskine/Field Notes) – 3.5" × 5.5" (90 × 140 mm)

🧵 Secure and Flexible Binding System

Your notebooks are held in place with a durable elastic system built directly into the cover.

• Central elastic spine provides structure
• Extra bands hold each insert securely
• Add, remove, or rearrange notebooks easily

This refillable traveler’s notebook setup lets you carry multiple inserts—ideal for journaling, sketching, planning, or keeping ideas organized.

🪡 Handstitched Pockets

Each pocket is handstitched using the traditional saddle stitch, valued for strength and beauty.
They add both utility and craftsmanship, reflecting the care put into every piece.

🎁 A Truly Special Gift

Perfect for writers, travelers, creatives, and stationery lovers.
Whether for a birthday, graduation, Father’s Day, or personal milestone, this notebook is meaningful, durable, and made to last a lifetime.

🌄 Made Off-Grid, By Hand – One at a Time

Each cover is made by me in a small off-grid workshop using only hand tools and natural light.

• Every stitch sewn by hand using saddle stitch
• No machines or automation—just careful craftsmanship
• Leather is cut, burnished, and finished entirely by hand

Your notebook reflects a slower, more mindful way of making—personal, deliberate, and rooted in tradition.

    My travelers notebook arrived within the estimated time and was beautifully packaged. It is very well made. A real handcrafted item. I'm extremely happy with it


    Absolutely loved the journal. It is a gift for my daughter who I know will love it. Was sent super quick. Will certainly buy from this fantastic company again.


    Questo taccuino in pelle chiara è un pezzo davvero speciale. La pelle ha un aspetto naturale e autentico, compatta al tatto e con una finitura che trasmette solidità e carattere. È il tipo di materiale che con l’uso si arricchirà di sfumature uniche, rendendo ogni esemplare ancora più personale. Le cuciture sono precise e robuste, segno di un ottimo lavoro artigianale. Il design è semplice ed elegante, con chiusura ad elastico che lo rende pratico e sicuro. All’interno, tasche funzionali e un sistema ricaricabile permettono di sostituire facilmente i quaderni, rendendolo un compagno di scrittura duraturo e versatile. Sono molto soddisfatta dell’acquisto: un prodotto che unisce qualità, bellezza e praticità senza tempo.


    Freya deserves all the credit she gets. My notebook looks amazing, exactly like the listing if not better. Love the hand stitching and the leather which has that perfect balance between softness and stiffness. In other words, not loose and floppy but not overly stiff either. The pockets are just right, effective but not too bulky or busy. I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks Freya!


    Absolutely beautiful and well made. Received item in time and was blown away by the quality.
