Black goat skin with thong ties

 

 

 

 

This journal is bound in black goat skin, which is thinner and stronger than many other leathers.  It is closed by hand-cut thongs from the same skin which have been woven into the binding.  This book has been a great favourite in the workshop!  Plain, acid free paper.

Cream leather with strap and gold tooling 

 
 
This recycled cream leather has a lovely feel to it.  The photo has darkened it slightly, it is a few shades lighter, rather like pale tea.  The cover has gold double line tooling, as does the strap stay.  The strap itself is made with the same leather, with a gold motif just where it goes through the stay.  Very neat, very secure.  Plain paper.

Rough finished brown leather with double ties

 

 

The leather on this journal has that perfect used look and feel.  The natural wax is all that it needs, and the generous cut wraps the leather around the pages to protect your work.  The surface will scuff, giving it a rustic, aged look.  Plain paper.

Quarter bound with blue marble and goat skin

 

 

A new one for us! Classic design.   Antique finished goat skin to the spine with blue marble to the rest of the covers.  On strong board, with green and white headbands and a silver/grey ribbon.  This book has plain endpapers as the exterior has the colour.  Black motif to spine.  Plain paper.

 

If you like the style but not the colours, please check our seconds and prototypes page, as this style is still a work in progress.  There will be more to follow.  They're higher priced because they take twice as long to make. 







Black close-cut goat skin envelope binding

 

 

Goat skin is thinner but also stronger than a lot of leathers we use, making this a beautifully slim-line book, perfect for chucking in a bag.  The leather has been cut as close to the pages as possible to keep it as compact as possible, so this book has no headbands.  The envelope binding is secured by a matching strap and brass rivet.  Plain paper.
