This Classic Half Leather Journal pairs richly embellished Italian paper from Kartos, inspired by the grand libraries of Europe, with a maroon goatskin spine and corners. The leather is hand-tooled with traditional detailing, and the raised bands along the spine echo centuries of fine bookbinding. Inside, you’ll find lightly textured cream pages, section-sewn for strength, along with our SB Libris bookplate inside the front cover.

Choose from blank or lined pages to suit your writing or note-taking style. An elegant companion for deep thinking, daily notes, or personal archives. Presented in our signature black gift box.
