Handcrafted with care, each piece is unique - with the option of a naturally irregular front cover edge, or a clean-cut finish. Complete your piece by customising the leather colour, binding thread, and size,  from compact A6 to statement A4.

Leather

As leather is a natural material, please be aware that there may be natural marks and scars and so each piece will vary slightly from the images shown. These are not faults but a beautiful part of this natural material and as each piece is a unique individually hand crafted item, no 2 will be exactly the same.
