Vintage leather journal, Reclaimed brown leather, Gold tooled decoration. Once Upon a Time

This old looking journal is made of a worn piece of leather that came from a vintage handbag. It has a rich brown red color and various marks that show its age and wear. It has the charm of a book with history. The decoration of the covers was kept to a minimum to allow the character and the passage through time of this piece to show. Contrasting, the spine was decorated with detailed gold tooling in the old style, but the gold was aged to suit the rest of this notebook.

As all my vintage leather journals, this is one of a kind.

The journal measures 7.7 x 8.7 inches (19.5 x 22 cm). It is filled with Fabriano artist paper, 136 pages (272 sides). The paper is warm white, slightly textured, hand torn and thick, it has 200 g/m². It is acid free, perfect for writing and sketching in any media, even watercolor.

The endpapers are made of hand marbled paper with brown green and beige veins. The headbands were sewn by hand with brown and black cotton threads. 

This journal has a lot of character. It would fit perfectly in your collection of antique books or your shabby chic interior. I hope you will enjoy!
