Clayton's tannery - men at work scraping hides.

Scribology - Heritage Notebooks

Made from heritage leathers that were the last to be made in UK tanneries before they closed down (such as Clayton’s in Chesterfield, Derbyshire - pictured), these notebooks are something special. The leather used is veg tan leather, made in the traditional way using oak bark and other plant based materials. It looks, feels and smells beautiful.

Here we showcase our very special notebooks - those made with the unique Heritage leathers that set our notebooks apart from others. Choose from a midori travellers’ style notebook in a range of crisp, wax tanned ‘pull up’ leathers that patinate and change their patterns as the leather moves and folds; classic veg tanned black bridle leather with a beautiful waxy finish; or our collaborations with Rainbow Makery Design for hand stitched wrapped journals/sketchbooks in hand dyed, light weight veg tan leather and/or the pull up leathers mentioned above.

Previously sold items from the collection - if you see something you would like to purchase that has previously been sold and isn’t currently in stock, there is now an option to add your email to a waitlist. If we have the leather and are able to make it again you will be notified once it is back in stock.
