🌿 About the Leather – C.F. Stead Crazy Cow (UK)
This notebook cover is made from Crazy Cow leather by C.F. Stead, a historic tannery in Leeds, England, known worldwide for producing rich, rugged leathers with character and durability.

Why Crazy Cow Leather Is Special:
★ Unique distressed finish – Waxed and tumbled to reveal natural marks and variation
★ Supple yet durable – Tough enough for everyday use, yet flexible in the hand
★ Pull-up effect – Shows lighter tones when bent or stretched, adding visual depth
★ No two alike – Each hide has its own unique grain, scars, and texture
★ Beautiful wear-in – Develops its own rich patina over time with handling

This leather tells its own story, and with use, it becomes something unmistakably yours.

    This small Etsy shop makes, hands down, the best leather journals and leather goods I’ve ever seen. I’m completely fascinated. Incredible quality and craftsmanship. The man who makes them is a master. I tip my hat to him. The journals I’ve bought will bring me joy for the rest of my life.


    The nicest notebook cover I’ve ever used. Incredibly robust and pleasing leather, the notebooks are lovely, and the stitching is top notch. I’ll definitely be back.
