The compact 7 by 5 centimeter size fits comfortably in one hand, while the rounded corners and soft edges make it pleasant to hold. A suede-like leather cord wraps around the body, secured with a hand-tied knot and finished with a metal charm shaped like an antique key. A rectangular metal tag embossed with "Hand made" and a small flower icon sits near the closure, and a metal eyelet reinforces the cord hole.
Inside, the journal holds a thick block of pages mixing warm, yellowish-brown kraft paper with bright white Daolin paper. The layered edges show the variety of paper grades, and the sturdy stock supports journaling, note-taking, sketching, and plein air painting without bleeding or tearing.

A closer look
This vintage-style leather journal features a cover crafted from genuine cowhide, presenting a rich, textured surface with natural grain variations and a matte finish in shades of brown or dark coffee. The material exhibits a distinct organic character with visible creases and a tactile quality that suggests durability and age. The dimensions of the notebook are precisely 7 by 5 centimeters, creating a compact, portable form factor suitable for handheld use. The construction includes exposed stitching along the spine, utilizing thick thread that complements the rustic aesthetic of the leather binding.
The closure mechanism consists of a suede-like leather cord wrapped horizontally around the body, terminating in a hand-tied knot that secures the journal. Attached to this cord is a decorative metal charm shaped like an antique key, which adds a functional and ornamental detail to the design. Additionally, a rectangular metal tag embossed with the text "Hand made" and a small flower icon is affixed to the front cover near the closure point, emphasizing the artisanal nature of the object. A metal eyelet reinforces the hole through which the leather cord passes on the right side of the cover.
Inside, the journal contains a substantial block of paper composed of two distinct types: kraft paper and Daolin paper. The pages display a mix of warm, yellowish-brown tones characteristic of kraft paper and bright white sheets, offering visual contrast and variety for different writing or drawing needs. The paper stock appears thick and sturdy, designed to support activities such as journaling, note-taking, sketching, and plein air painting without bleeding or tearing. The edges of the page block show a layered arrangement of these different paper grades, highlighting the mixed-media capability of the interior.
The overall design style is retro and artisanal, focusing on natural materials and simple, effective construction. The geometric shape is a rounded rectangle with soft corners, enhancing the ergonomic feel of the notebook. The lighting interaction in the images highlights the depth of the leather's texture and the subtle sheen of the metal hardware against the matte paper and leather surfaces. This combination of materials and the specific 7x5 cm size makes it a specialized tool for creative expression and personal record-keeping.
