Handcrafted A5 Notebook / Diary / Journal Leather Cover
The cover your words deserve.
Couldn't load pickup availability
A beautifully made leather cover for an A5 notebook or journal. Cut by hand, stitched by hand, and edge-finished by hand in Wellington, New Zealand. Made from Italian Buttero leather that will last as long as the words inside it.
Unlike mass-produced covers, this one is made specifically for you — which means the leather is chosen fresh, the stitching is done with care, and no two covers are exactly alike.

Every piece starts as a conversation. Colour, monogram, stitching — tell me what you're picturing and I'll make it yours.
Talk through your piece before you order, or after. Either way works.

Quick answers, if you're deciding
Made to order
Can I customise colour, leather, or stitching?
Yes, within the options available for that piece. Talk through your piece before ordering and I'll let you know what's possible.
Do I need to contact you before I order?
Not necessarily. Many customers order directly, then we confirm details by email. Others prefer to talk it through first. Both work.
How long does it take?
Usually 1–3 weeks, depending on order volume and material sourcing. If timing matters for you, get in touch first and I'll confirm.
