This is the journal for the ritual: the same chair, the same coffee, the same unhurried page every morning.

The A5 Refillable Leather Traveler's Journal is made from genuine buff leather, cut and stitched by hand in the workshops of our artisan partners in India, families we have worked with for over a decade. The A5 size (6.29" wide x 8.74" long) gives you a full page to think on while staying easy to carry, and the leather deepens into a rich patina that quietly records every year you write in it.

It is built to hold a writing life in one place: three card slots, two inside pockets for loose papers and mementos, and a pen slot so your pen is there the moment the thought arrives. Three elastic strands hold two unlined notebooks, 50 pages each, made from tree-free cotton paper, handmade from cotton pulp at 120 gsm. The softly textured surface suits writing, sketching, and morning pages alike.

When a notebook fills up, slip in a fresh one and keep going. The strands hold notebooks, planners, or a sketchbook in any combination, so the journal adapts as your practice does.

It makes a considered gift for the journaler in your life, a new graduate, or anyone rebuilding a writing habit. Make it theirs before it ships: add a name, a date, or a line of your own, up to 20 characters. Personalized journals made just for them. Years from now, softened by use and full of mornings, it will be the journal they reach for first.

Customer photo review of Feel Deeply Quote Leather Journal - 7x5

The words aren't very dark on the quote so I was a little bummed about that. You can't really read it super well. But other than that it's a great journal.

Customer photo review of Weird And Wonderful Quote Leather Journal - 5x7 Lined

This is probably my favorite journal I've bought from Soothi. I love the fun quote on the front, and I'm a huge fan of the lined paper. I wish more of the journals had the options for lines! Overall beautiful journal.

Such a beautiful journal, hand made leather. Can’t wait to make more family memories to write in my clean canvas journal. You also get sent a card to plant your very own tree with every journal! How amazing is that! ❤️🌳❤️🌳

Customer photo review of "If A Story" Handmade Leather Journal

The Soothi "If A Story" Handmade Leather Journal is a beautiful, well-crafted notebook ideal for writers, travelers, or anyone who appreciates quality stationery. Wrapped in a gorgeous, rustic leather cover that softens with age, it features a motivational quote by William Faulkner for a touch of inspiration. With 100 blank pages for writing, sketching, or brainstorming, the unlined format offers complete creative freedom. The handy 7" x 5" size makes it portable and perfect for taking anywhere. But it's not just functional – the rich leather is a pleasure to hold and adds a touch of elegance to any desk. It's as beautiful to look at as it is to write in.

Customer photo review of Lock Vintage Handmade Leather Journal

Love the quality of the leather. Feels weathered and wears well. Surprisingly light journal considering the amount of pages and leather binding. Nice pen compartment, though I only use it if I'm traveling. To note: If you do watercolor, the pages are heavy but slightly yellowed.

Customer photo review of Weird And Wonderful Quote Leather Journal - 5x7 Lined

I like this journal so much that I bought 3 of them....1 for me and 2 for my weird and wonderful friends. It doesn't just say Weird and Wonderful, however. The complete quote on the journal is "all things Weird and Wonderful". It's a great soft leather journal with awesome lined pages and a string tie.

Customer photo review of "If A Story" Handmade Leather Journal

I was skeptical since I've never bought from this site, but......... Bought this journal for my Father-In-Law for Christmas this year (Christmas 2023 photos) who's been writing in journals all of his life, he said this is one of the best he's ever had. The leather smell hit him when he first opened the box, it hit us all! He loved it! The book, the smell, the inscription! He said he couldn't wait to start writing in it at the beginning of the 2024 year, which just happens to be TODAY! Thanks for helping me with this great gift!

Customer photo review of I Can Choose Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 Size

Not the same color leather stain as in the promotional photo. Was drawn to it for the look, but didn’t come like that at all. Same stain as everything else. I like soothi journals so I’ll use it, but it’ll probably be a bit before I buy anymore due to mistaken advertising - I wanna buy what I know I’m gonna get.

Customer photo review of Madness Quote Leather Journal - 5x7 Lined

Some blotchy leather stain on the back and some inadequate stain on the front lettering, but it’s a beautiful journal otherwise. Just has QC overlooked cosmetic character. I typically like the soothi journals though.

Customer photo review of Important Nothings Jane Austen Quote Leather Journal - 7x5

This is by FAR my best and most favorite journal I have ever had! The feel is sturdy, soft and smooth just as the paper is thick and perfect for most any inks/markers/ whatever you'd like to use for Journaling! The quotes on the front are all amazing this just was one of many of my favorites and the back is beautiful as well with pictures of the constellations! This would make an amazing gift for your favorite artist/journalists/or writers/novelists. I highly highly recommend these journals!

Customer photo review of I Can Choose Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 Size

It’s a very beautiful journal just like the last five or six that I bought but I have noticed that the last two the cardboard covered by the leather is noticeably thinner, and the journals bend much easier and the corners dog year, much easier as opposed to the thickness of the Arthur Conan Doyle, journal that I have also 8 x 6 the cardboard under the leather on that one is very heavy, and really makes The whole experience, much better but overall your product is excellent which is obvious because they continue to order.

Customer photo review of Pierre-Auguste Renoir – Chrysanthemums

This is my second journal from Soothi. I love the quality and durability of the pages. I love the whimsy fun of this Renoir journal - bright and colorful. Some of the colors seemed to appear a bit muddy on fabric, but I love the uniqueness of the design, perfect for unique season of life that will be written in it.

Fits well in my hands. Smooth yet thick leather. The paper has a smooth yet old time feel. It feels exactly as you think it would as a classic leather journal

Love the quote on my journal as well as the blank pages that allow for drawings as well as the words. This is well made and a great size for easy use. It fits in my purse nicely.

What You Write Remains Quote Leather Journal - 7x5

Customer photo review of "If A Story" Handmade Leather Journal

I haven’t used a journal since I was a child, I purchased this to write the way I feel daily, if possible, on my feelings of the sudden death of my son to cardiomyopathy……it is lovely, but very tightly bound, I’m afraid to spread the pages to wide, I don’t want it to come loose….I also have terribly hand writing, not that it matters….embrace your loved ones, life is short and unpredictable, blessings, Joyce
