Fresh from the Workbench: The Lonoke Designs A5 Journal Cover
There’s something timeless about journaling. The scratch of pen on paper, the quiet focus of capturing your thoughts, and the satisfaction of flipping back through pages filled with ideas, notes, or sketches. At Lonoke Designs, journaling has always been part of our creative process, whether it’s sketching a new desk organizer or jotting down thoughts over a cup of coffee.
But like many of you, we wanted to refine the experience. We wanted a cover that felt as good in the hand as it looked on the desk, something to protect our journals while elevating the ritual of writing. That’s how the A5 Journal Cover came to life.
Designed for Writing Everyday
- Standard A5 Size: Built to fit your favorite A5 journal inserts, so you can swap in a new notebook without losing the character of a well-worn cover.
- Protective Yet Minimal: Keeps your journal safe from coffee spills, scratches, and the daily scuffs of life on the move.
- Functional Craftsmanship: Hand-cut and hand-stitched in Texas with precision and care, designed to stand up to years of use.
Made from Exceptional Materials
We use leather from the renowned Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Italy, vegetable-tanned, full-grain, and rich with character that will only improve with age. Every cover is cut, stitched, and finished by hand in our Texas workshop. No shortcuts, no mass production, just honest craftsmanship that honors the material and the tradition.
More Than Just a Cover
This journal cover is more than protection, it’s a companion. It’s the piece you carry into the coffee shop when you’re sketching out a new idea. The cover that sits on your desk beside your notepad holder or tray. The one that gains its own story as it collects scuffs and patina along the way.
Why We Made It
We designed the A5 Journal Cover because journaling and designing are at the heart of what we do. We needed something that matched the care we put into our ideas, a cover that protected our notebooks while elevating the experience of writing itself. Now, we’re excited to share that same piece of our process with you.
