This is a great journal because:

  • Put the inside joke on the cover: the nickname, the team motto, the line only your people will get, laser printed onto leather for good.
  • Make something that exists nowhere else: your words, your design, and your pages on a handmade journal no one else will ever own.
  • Turn a moment into a keepsake: a wedding date, a retirement, a team’s big win, kept in a journal that stays on the shelf for years.
  • Give a gift that could only be for them: one look at the cover, and they’ll know it was made with them in mind.

A few useful answers

Can I really order just one custom journal?

Yes. This product is made for single-journal orders. You don’t need a bulk order to create a cover with your own text, image or logo.

Is customization included in the price?

Yes. The displayed price includes the journal and its cover customization.

Can I use an image and a longer quote together?

Yes, depending on your design and the space available on the cover. If you’re unsure how your idea will fit, contact us before ordering.

How is this different from adding a name to a regular journal?

Our regular journals offer name personalization. This custom journal gives you more room to create a cover using an image, a longer quote, or a combination of the two.

  • Paper: 90 gsm high quality lined paper
  • Pages: Lined 100 pages
  • Non-Refillable
Can I order these for a team or event?

Yes. For corporate gifts, events or multiple custom journals, explore our bulk customization program for project options and an inquiry.

Can you print custom pages inside the journal?

Internal page printing is available only for bulk orders. Explore our bulk customization page for more information.

How long does customization of one journal take?

Allow 3–4 days for production. Shipping time depends on the shipping service selected at checkout.

Is customization debossed?

No. Your custom text or image is laser printed onto the cover.

Shipping

Orders ship from California. Delivery time depends on your destination and the shipping method selected at checkout. View shipping information.

Handmade variation

Leather color, texture and paper can vary slightly from journal to journal. Vegetable dyes can change from season to season, so color may vary between batches. These natural differences are part of a handmade product.

Customer photo review of Custom Leather Journals - Dark Brown 5x7

Easy to use website, easy to order, and beautiful workmanship and products!!! I bought a personalized journal for two granddaughters and decided to get this for myself. I like this company and what they are doing. I have purchased many journals but these journals are a treasure that “holds” a treasure. I highly recommend this company and their products.

Customer photo review of Custom Leather Journals - Lined, Blue Tone 8x6

This Journal is about My New Home, Finley the Silvestreak , from the Beginning of When I Bought Her in July. My Family and I are in the Process of Completly Restoring her and I Journal Everytime We Work on Her.

Custom Leather Journals - Lined, Blue Tone 8x6

Absolutely gorgeous journal. Personalization makes this an extra special gift. I have now given 2 !!! My recipients were honored and touched by the personal gist of this personalized journal. I WILL give another in the future. I needed Customer Service for help after I placed my order. They helped me immediately so my order was fixed and no delay in my shipment. Highly, highly recommend!!

Custom - Rustic Dark Brown 5x7 Leather Journal

I really like the journal and it was a received with joy as a birthday gift. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the lettering was tough to read against the dark cover. It would have been easier to read the words if they were either darker (black) or lighter against the leather. That being said, I recommend Soothie journals and plan to order more as heartfelt gifts. Thank you!

Custom - Rustic Dark Brown 5x7 Leather Journal

It was almost all I wanted -- color tone, texture of the cover -- but a bit smaller than I had expected (yes, I had read the dimensions). For a diary or journal, I think it would benefit from a slightly larger size (1 to 1 1/2 in. more perhaps), and I would certainly have paid more for an extra 75 to 100 pages more. One other idea: offer it as a calendar? Bottom line: good job. JTV

I gave my son and fiancé customized journals to keep thoughts about their upcoming wedding. They love these special journals. Thanks for a terrific job producing them and getting them to me for Christmas.

Custom Leather Journals - Dark Brown 5x7

I got it as a gift for someone and he absolutely loved it! It was the perfect present because we are both in a Master's programme studying Literature!

Custom Leather Journals - Dark Brown 5x7

The description of this journal indicated it was unlined which is why I chose it over other designs. When it came lined I was very disappointed and reached out to customer service. I did not receive a satisfactory answer. I was told that I'd been informed that it was lined which was not the case. I will be shy to order again even though the quality of the journal was very high. It just needs to fit the description or be refunded.

Custom Leather Journals - Blush 5x7

The journal was purchased as a Christmas gift for a colleague and friend. She loves it and particularly likes the personalized quote that I had put on the journal. I have not seen the book, but I am sure from her reaction that it is lovely.

Custom Leather Journals - Lined, Blue Tone 8x6

The notebook itself is nice, however the customization didn’t look good on the dark leather, even though they messaged I would’ve appreciated if they weighed in with their expertise letting me know that the image I had chosen would’ve been too dark. So basically it didn’t look this great.

Custom Leather Journals - Lined, Orange Tone 8x6

This is my second time purchasing from Soothi and I feel there material has gotten better. The fine leather texture and the timeless designed pages are what I wanted in a journal to write my thoughts and experiences. I got a Maya Angelou quote engraved ion the front cover and its perfect.

We were sent the wrong journal; when I wrote the Soothi folks, they replied immediately and sent us out the correct one in three-day mail. I couldn't ask for better customer service.

Custom Leather Journals - Lined, Orange Tone 8x6

This was a birthday gift.The package arrived smashedb and I had to buy more supplies to rewrap it. I paid for the gift wrapping to avoid doing that! The cover was beautiful and I loved the lettering. But the lettering was very misplaced. The authors name of the quote I chose (this was a custom order) went closer to the bottom instead of right beneath the quote. The problem with that is it made the initials I requested to be printed at the bottom obsolete. Partly because the initials were super tiny! I was especially disappointed with the inside. Super thin and cheesy! This was not worth the hefty price I paid! Having said that, my friend did love the journal when he unwrapped it. Not sure if his oppinion changed.

This is more than a journal. I love my purchase from Soothi. The paper is percet for my sharpie pens. It doesn't bleed through like my other journals. I was able to add my own quote to it to make it more personable. I'm happy to have it as I begin on my new walk.

Custom - Rustic Dark Brown 5x7 Leather Journal

I am so pleased with this journal. I had it customized with a quote by Rumi and it was a perfect gift for a dear friend of mine who was turning 50. The leather is beautiful and soft, and the size of the journal is perfect for travel; fits easily in a purse or briefcase. I will definitely order again from Soothi!

My wife and I celebrated our 3 rd year of marriage. As tradition goes. You give something leather as a gift and this was perfect! Everything came well and adding the little touches made a huge difference.

Custom - Rustic Dark Brown 5x7 Leather Journal

My husband's aunt wrote a family genealogy book and I used her quote on the cover of the custom journal. It made it so personal. Great quality leather and the ink does not bleed onto the paper within this journal. This is what I needed to begin my memoirs. I would certainly recommend and purchase in the future. Great customer service, too!
