A5 Veg Tan Waxed Leather Heritage Journal Refillable Midori Travelers Notebook
This is something a bit (lot!) special.
Our new Heritage Journal, a beautifully patinated refillable travellers notebook designed to look lived in and well loved from day one and will only get better with age, telling its own colourful story.
Made from leather rescued from the oak pits at the now disused Clayton's tannery in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, it offers a gloriously unique appearance.
Clayton's used an oak tanning process for their veg tan leather, using bark and leaves to create the tannins needed. We've managed to source some of the last batch to be made in those pits before the tannery closed. They have an unusually mottled colouration which we just fell in love with. See the video to see how it looks as the light moves around it.
The leather is finished as a pull up leather - this means that it is impregnated with oils and waxes under heat and as the leather moves and stretches in use it produces a two tone effect.
As this is a finite and not reproducible batch of characterful leather, we've decided to make a limited run of Heritage Journals with it - to offer you a piece of Derbyshire history that will age beautifully and bring you years of joy. Each part of the hide is different in its colouration and feel, so though these notebooks are similar, each is completely unique and will have different markings and characteristics.
A5 in size, we've designed this one with black metal eyelets, a rich dark red waxy veg tan bullhide leather tag and burgundy elastics throughout for an aesthetically satisfying colour palette that looks and feels just right. We hope you love it as much as we do! This one is #2 in the series.
