Hand-made in Chiangmai of northern Thailand, the real leather cover has a lovely texture and develops character the more you use it, truly making it your own special notebook. The notebook has a simple and elegant design with an elastic band along the spine, secured by a tin clasp. The band holds the notebook in place inside, while another band holds the notebook cover closed.

Leather care and caution:

If the leather gets wet or is rubbed a lot, the color may transfer to clothing or other items. If it gets wet, pat it with a soft cloth and let it dry in the shade. Avoid washing the entire notebook cover with water, and avoid use of benzene or thinners. For storage, make sure the cover is not wet or dirty, and store it in a ventilated area. Avoid storing it directly in contact with other leather items or vinyl items, as the color may transfer. To preserve the natural beauty of the leather, the surface is not heavily treated, and therefore may get scratched easily in the beginning. As the notebook cover is used more, it will develop a glaze, the beauty will be enhanced, and scratches will be less visible. Those who are concerned about scratches may apply mink oil, which deepens the color of the leather and makes scratches less conspicuous.

Note: The blue color of the leather can vary from one cover to another and may be darker than the cover shown in the photos section.
