Company FAQ
Our mission is to use natural and organic materials that pre-exist in the world to create the products that we bring to you. This is why we source upcycled leather and use paper made of recycled cotton waste. We also plant a tree for each order in partnership with One Tree Planted. Learn more here.
Since we use repurposed leather that would otherwise be wasted, this leather often has natural marks and spots. These marks and scars present themselves on the cover of our journals. We like to believe they add to the vintage look and feel of our products.
In most cases, the text will be positioned on the bottom center front cover of the journal. However, it is dependent on the journal design. We will do our best to always add personalization in an area that blends with the overall look of the journal. Learn more about our personalization service and see examples here.
Our customers use our journals for water coloring, fountain pen writing, sketching, and art journaling. While the weight of our tree-free paper limits bleeding, it also buckles when exposed to too much water. Our suggestion would be to use watercolor sparsely across the journal and patch test first before going all in. Learn more about our paper here.
- Keep leather items out of the sun. The sun will dry the leather out and cause it to become brittle.
- Don't store your leather products in plastic bags.
- Don't leave your items in a humid or wet basement – this could promote mildew growth.
- If the journal cover needs to be cleaned, try to brush your leather down with a damp cloth and let it sit at room temperature to dry.
- Before using any leather cleaning products, test a small patch first and see how the leather reacts to it.
