About the service
I make leather covers for daily planners and notebooks with interchangeable paper blocks — the cover itself lasts for decades, and you can change the paper inside whenever you like.
I work with vegetable-tanned full-grain leather from trusted suppliers: you can choose smooth leather with a tight grain that develops a noble patina over time, or more textured leather that resists scratches with daily use. I sew by hand with a saddle stitch — waxed thread, two needles, an awl, no machine: this stitch won't come undone even if you accidentally cut one thread.
Standard sizes are Personal, A6, A5, and B6, suitable for most ring and disc systems, as well as for traveler's notebook-style blocks; I can also cut a cover to fit a specific notebook model if you send me the dimensions. Inside — elastic bands to secure the block (can fit two blocks at once), a pen loop, and a card pocket on the inner flap. Closes with either a strap and button, or a simple rubber loop, so the cover doesn't open in your bag.
The monogram is done by hand stamping — initials, a name, or a small symbol; before cutting the leather, I'll send you a layout sketch for approval. Manufacturing time is usually one to two weeks, depending on my workload and the complexity of the stamping; sometimes I can speed it up.
Write me the dimensions of your notebook (or the brand and model), your preferences for leather color and thread — I'll reply with a cost estimate and a cover sketch.
