Handmade leather journals

Club YUP

Handmade journals that grow with you for years, get more beautiful with time and are entirely your own.

Inspiration

Curious what your journal could look like? Below you'll find combinations that others have already put together. From different colours of leather and elastic to personal initials and charms: every combination is different.

Use the examples as inspiration and then design your own journal. Choose the colour of the leather, gold or silver hardware, the colour of the elastic, and add initials and charms if you like. That's how you create a journal that's entirely yours.

The craft

Every step is done by hand.

Every journal starts as a piece of leather. The leather is carefully cut to size, finished and treated. Then the holes are punched into the leather by hand, the gold or silver jump rings are set and the elastic is attached.

Then it's time to personalise. You choose which notebooks go in your journal: lined, blank or a mix of both. You can also have your initials pressed into the leather and make the journal entirely your own with one or more charms.

Step by step, a journal comes together that's entirely yours.
