As plain as its name: a leather cover and lined pages. The Leather
Notebook is a leather-bound A5 journal with 80 lined sheets, and it is
undated, so you start on page one whenever you feel like it rather than in
January. Brown, green or black, with free name embossing on the cover.
Leather-Bound A5 Notebook Features
80 lined sheets
There are 80 sheets, 160 pages of ruled paper. Lines are the reason handwriting
stays level on a page and a page of notes stays readable a month later. A5 is the size that works
both on a desk and in a bag.
Undated, so nothing is wasted
No printed dates anywhere. Start it in March, stop for six weeks, pick it up again in May: no
crossed out spreads, no guilt about the pages you skipped. A dated planner bought in June is half
wasted before you open it.
A bound leather cover
The cover is genuine leather, bound to the book, with the embossed salamander on
it. That is what separates it from a card-covered notebook: it does not soften and curl at the
corners after two weeks in a bag, it darkens and takes on a patina instead.
Free name embossing
Your name is laser embossed into the cover, free. Give the name with your order.
It is the cheapest way we know to turn a notebook into a gift that will not be handed on.
Notebook Dimensions and Material
Brown is warm and classic, green darker and less expected, black flat and formal. All three are
genuine leather with the natural grain visible on the surface, and all three darken with use.
Inside, plain ruled paper and no printing beyond the lines.
Full-grain leather: the topmost, densest-fibered layer of the hide, its
surface never sanded or thinned. Over the years it darkens rather than wears out, and the small
scratches of daily use largely disappear when you rub them with a finger.

Who It Is For
- People who keep daily notes, plans and meeting records
- People who write better on ruled paper
- Anyone giving a notebook that should still be around in five years
An honest limit: the pages are lined and undated, which means there is no
weekly or monthly calendar template in it; it is a notebook that works as a planner, not a
structured diary. It is also bound, so the paper cannot be replaced: when the 80
sheets are full, the book is full. If you want to keep the same leather for years and change the
paper, the A5 Leather Journal is a refillable
cover with blank pages instead. And a personalized cover cannot be returned for a change of
mind.
How to Pair the Notebook
Notebook Care
- Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use chemical cleaners on leather
- The leather darkens and gains character over time. That is not a flaw, it is patina
- Apply leather balm a few times a year so the
cover stays supple
- Do not force it flat open at the spine on the first day. A bound book relaxes on its own
over the first weeks
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the pages lined or blank?
Lined. All 80 sheets are ruled, which keeps handwriting level and makes a page of notes easier to read later. If you want blank pages instead, the A5 Leather Journal is completely unlined.
Is it dated?
No, it is undated. There are no printed days or dates, so you start whenever you want, pause, and carry on without losing pages. It does not matter what month you buy it in, and it does not expire at the end of a year.
Can I have my name on the cover?
Yes, and it is free. The name is laser embossed into the leather, so it is part of the cover rather than printed on it. Give the name with your order. Note that a personalized piece cannot be returned for a change of mind.
Can I replace the paper when it is finished?
No. This one is bound, so the cover and the paper are a single book. If replacing the paper matters to you, the A5 Leather Journal is a cover with two replaceable notebooks inside; that is the refillable version of the same idea.
Which color should I choose?
Brown is warm and classic and shows patina the most, green is darker and less common, black is flat and formal. All three are genuine leather and all three darken with use, so the choice is only about how you want it to look on the first day.
A plain leather cover and a ruled page: there is not much else to say about it, which is the
point.
