Crafted by hand in Texas, our leather A5 Journal Cover is made to last a lifetime of ideas, sketches, and notes. It features premium full-grain leather, sourced from the renowned Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Italy, a tannery celebrated for rich character and deep, evolving patina.
Our journal cover is made by hand. Each cover is hand-cut and hand-stitched in-house, built one at a time with care. It also includes an inner pocket for notes or cards (4 in. x 4.5 in.), a built-in pen loop, and fits an A5 journal insert (5.8 in. x 8.3 in.).
To make it uniquely yours, we also offer in-house laser engraving. Perfect for adding a name, initials, or short message. Each engraving is finished by hand for a clean, lasting result.
Built for writers, professionals, and dreamers alike, this journal blends timeless design with rugged durability. Over time, the leather will soften, telling your story with every mark and scuff. The Lonoke Designs' Journal Cover is built to travel with you, wherever adventure takes you.
