During the workshop, you’ll create and personalize your own leather journal. Choose your leather cover and elastic, learn simple leathercraft techniques, and assemble your journal. Then get creative with notebook inserts, charms, stickers, stamps and inks. We’ll also take an Instax photo for you to add a personal memory to your journal. To finish, we’ll monogram your journal with your name or initials — making it uniquely yours.

Make a Leather Journal

Timeless design, Honest materials & Crafted for life

Create Your Journal

Pueblo is a full-grain Vegetable-tanned leather made in Tuscany, Italy, from carefully selected calf hides. Its distinctive matte finish has a soft, raw, almost suede-like appearance. Traditional stone-finishing techniques bring out the natural grain, markings, and texture of the hide, allowing its character and imperfections to remain visible.

The leather is finished using transparent aniline dyes, natural air-drying, and stone polishing to preserve its authentic, understated appearance.

Like all quality vegetable-tanned leather, Black Raw is made to evolve. With everyday use, it gradually develops a subtle patina, becoming richer and more distinctive over time.

The Beauty of Patina

New

Matured Use

Vegetable-tanned develops a deeper, richer patina with use. Your hands, your habits, and your everyday life leave their mark. Scratches and imperfections become part of its character. With time, no two pieces age quite the same — and that's the beauty of it.

Learn about Italian leather

01 — Choose Your Leather & Size

Start by choosing the leather cover for your journal. Pick the colour and finish that feels most like you. Each piece of leather has its own natural character, so no two journals are exactly the same.

02 — Shape & Prepare
Get hands-on with the leather. You’ll learn some of the simple techniques we use in our workshop, including beveling and burnishing the edges to give your journal a smooth, finished feel.

03 — Make It Yours
Choose your elastic cord colour and put your journal together. You’ll learn how the elastic system works and assemble the cover yourself, creating the foundation for your journal.

04 — Fill It Your Way
Now comes the fun part. Choose your notebook inserts, charms, stickers and other attachments to build a journal that suits you. Whether you want something simple and minimal or colourful and creative, there’s no right or wrong way to do it.

05 — Instax photo, Stamp & Create
Get your favorite photo printed with Instax. Explore our collection of rubber stamps and inks and start creating your own pages. Mix patterns, letters, shapes and little details to make the journal completely your own.

06 — Add Your Personal Touch
Finish your journal with a personalised touch. Choose what you want to add, arrange your favourite details and leave with a handmade journal that you’ve created yourself.
