Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep away from standing water. Store flat or lightly folded so the leather holds its shape. Limit long direct sun exposure to slow tone shifting.
Edges are cut and rounded by hand rather than machine-perfect, so light variation in grain, tone and shape is expected.

A closer look
The item is a Traveler's Notebook style standard-format leather journal cover in deep black, built as a single wraparound sheet of natural cowhide. The exterior surface has a soft satin-to-matte sheen with a low, uneven gloss that shifts as the leather catches light; the color is a true near-black rather than blue-black, and the surface carries visible natural character including fine pore texture, faint hair-cell grain, gentle creases, soft dents and pale pull-up highlights where the leather has been flexed or handled. Corners are cut and rounded with an irregular, hand-worked edge rather than a machine-perfect radius, and the thickness of the leather is described as medium and slightly stiff, giving the cover a self-supporting, lightly structured feel rather than a floppy drape.
A contrasting closure system wraps the cover at mid-height: a warm caramel-to-tan leather tab with a straight central slot, pierced at both ends by a round black elastic cord that runs horizontally around the entire body of the notebook and secures at the fore-edge. The elastic is a smooth, matte braided cord of medium gauge, and the images show it wound loosely, allowing it to be re-tensioned by hand. The tan closure tab shows a denser, more compact surface grain than the black cover and a natural, unfinished-looking cut edge, creating a two-tone detail against the black leather.
When opened flat, the cover reveals the reverse side of the same hide in its undyed, warm caramel-brown suede form, with a fuzzy napped nap, natural tonal variation, small darker patches and scattered pore marks consistent with genuine animal skin. The spine carries two silver-tone metal eyelets, positioned at the top and bottom of the vertical center fold, each eyelet crimped cleanly through the leather and threaded with the black elastic, which is knotted on the interior so the elastic can be adjusted or extended. This spine-and-elastic arrangement is what holds the paper inserts in place, with the fold line forming a soft central valley visible as a vertical crease and highlight running down the spine.
The set includes one leather cover, one matching paper insert, one metal-clasped elastic cord intended for stacking additional inserts, and one spare elastic cord one meter in length. The insert refills seen inside are standard Traveler's Notebook width, with white and lightly colored paper edges and a red ribbon marker visible at the spine edge; the paper block sits slightly recessed within the overhanging leather cover, leaving the tan cut edges
