Handcrafted Leather Journals & Refillable Notebook Covers
Discover our handcrafted
leather journals and
refillable notebook covers, made for writers, travellers, and everyday creators. Each piece is crafted in Canada by Craft & Antler Co. from premium full-grain leather that develops a rich, personal patina with use. Our designs fit popular A5 and A6 notebooks, including compatible sizes from Hobonichi, Leuchtturm1917, and Moleskine that are up to approximately 1 inch thick.
Whether you want a daily leather writing journal, a compact leather travel journal, or a simple journal cover to protect your favourite notebook, this collection is built for real-world use. Choose from classic diary-style layouts, minimalist covers, and rugged Crazy Horse or Pueblo leather options that soften and deepen in character over time.
Many of our covers are fully refillable, so you can replace the inner notebook while keeping the same leather journal cover for years. We also offer select handmade Italian leather styles for those who prefer a smoother, more formal finish, as well as options that can be personalized with subtle initials or a small debossed detail for gifting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What leather do you use for your journals and notebook covers?
Our leather journals and notebook covers are made from full-grain Crazy Horse, Tochigi, Pueblo, and select Italian leathers. These premium hides are chosen for their durability, character, and the way they develop a rich patina over time. Every cover is cut, assembled, and finished by hand in our Canadian leather studio.
Are your leather journals refillable?
Yes. Most of our handmade leather journals are fully refillable. The covers are designed to fit common A5 and A6 notebooks, including compatible sizes from Hobonichi, Leuchtturm1917, and Moleskine that are within approximately 1 inch in thickness. You can swap inserts as often as you like while keeping the same outer leather cover.
Do you offer custom or personalized options?
We offer custom leather journal covers with options for initials, small monograms, and simple debossed details. For more detailed artwork or logos, we can often order a custom stamp based on your design. Personalized leather journals make meaningful gifts for writers, travellers, graduates, and anyone who prefers pen and paper.
How do I care for my leather journal or notebook cover?
Caring for your leather journal is simple. Wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth when needed and avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the leather. With regular use, your leather journal cover or notebook cover will soften and develop a unique patina. Store it away from extreme heat or moisture, and let the leather age naturally with everyday use.
