An enduring legacy for your big ideas.
Notebooks come and go but the Wingback Tuscan leather cover endures. Each cover can be customised with an inscription on the front and a personal message or inspiring quote on the inside sleeve. Made from naturally tanned full-grain Tuscan leather, any nicks or marks it picks up will smooth away to leave a rich patina, a subtle reminder of the journeys you’ve shared and ideas you’ve put down. Every Notebook Cover is made to order and hand stitched with heavy gauge thread in our London workshop, making it an ideal one-of-a-kind gift. Simply pick your leather, coloured thread and inscriptions to make it as unique as the person who’ll carry it.
The Wingback Notebook Cover is available with either the Karst Stone Paper A5 Notebook or Moleskine Classic Hardcover Notebook. The Karst Stone Paper is an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional pulp paper, using 60% less energy to produce, while Moleskine's design is inspired by the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers of the past. Karst's notebook is slightly wider than Moleskine's. Choose your notebook option from the drop down menu above.

Considerations: The leather will pick up subtle marks and scratches over time but these will smooth away to develop a rich patina, serving as reminders of the journeys you’ve shared and scrapes you’ve survived. For tips on looking after the leather click here.
Engraving: For bold inscriptions, pick a lighter leather colour. The darker the leather, the more subtle the engraving.
From design and materials to manufacture and packaging, we don’t cut corners. Our leather is a byproduct of the meat industry and vegetable tanned to be kinder on the environment. We unite the hand-crafted quality of saddle stitching with the precision of laser engraving. All our products can be personalised and are made to order. It takes time, but so does anything worth holding onto.
Our full grain, vegetable tanned, environmentally certified Tuscan leather is firm and rugged, displaying natural markings that hint at stories of a past life. During the first few weeks of use, it will soften and conform to hold its contents snugly. Over time it will develop a rich patina, an enduring legacy of the journeys you’ve shared and scrapes you've survived.
