The Future Belongs Journal carries the line most often credited to Eleanor Roosevelt, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams," embossed across a repurposed leather cover inside a clean embossed border.
Each cover is cut, embossed, and stitched by hand, and each takes on its own tones as the leather ages. A string tie wraps it closed and marks your page between entries.
Inside are 100 unlined pages of 120 gsm tree-free cotton paper, handmade from cotton pulp, at an 8" x 6" size that works for planning, journaling, and notes.
It's the gift for a graduate, a founder on day one, or anyone standing at the start of something. Make it theirs before it ships: add a name, a date, or a line of your own, up to 20 characters, printed in black ink and ready in about two business days. Personalized journals are made just for you and are final sale.

The Future Belongs Eleanor Roosevelt Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 Size
I love the lighter color of this journal. As always the materials are super high quality, the paper is amazing and I love the tie string. This journal is made to last!
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.
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.
This journal is so beautiful! I love the details on the back. The rubber band is nice, I'm glad that option is now available.
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! ❤️🌳❤️🌳
Thank you the opportunity to put my thoughts into words and on paper ❤️
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.
Beautiful leather Journal well built and a true pleasure to own.
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.
Thoughtfully wrapped, and the perfect size
We All Become Stories Margaret Atwood Quote Leather Journal - 7x5
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.
Beautifully made journal with just the theme of my life RIGHT NOW … so apt 🙌🏾
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!
These journals are perfect for every written word or number. I did my small business taxes by long hand in this journal and loved every minute of it.
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.
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.
Well made book, heavy duty materials. Paper is a mixed media standard with good qualities.
Beautiful but less..."handmade" looking than I expected. It is very nice tho and will make a good gift.
Love my new travel journey. The leather cover, meaningful quote, and slim size means I’ll be taking it everywhere. It’s both useful and aesthetically pleasing - the best of both worlds!

I love my Soothi journals.
The Future Belongs - Eleanor Roosevelt Quote Traveler’s Notebook
This journal truly feels magical. Highly recommended.
Pleasantly surprised. There is a part of me that wishes the leather was a little more supple; but I love how it lies flat - and the stiffer leather makes it easier to write in. Love the feel of the parchment.
Shakespeare Nothing Good Or Bad Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 LINED Paper
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!
I live this journal. The paper is so smooth to write on and I feel so inspired to write every time I see it on my night table. ☺️
Not Another Flower Erin Van Vuren Quote Leather Journal - 7x5
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.
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
I gave this Journal to my friend! She loved it. I have also bought other journals for her here. I had one custom made here. Soothi has great customer service!
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.
This is for me. Can’t wait!
Gave it to my friend, a cancer survivor. She cried.
Love it . And the feel and texture of it really adds to the want to fill it with all kinds of stories and adventures.
This is the first journal I've gotten from Soothi that is a bit larger- I absolutely love it. I'll be getting more in this size one day.
Shakespeare Nothing Good Or Bad Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 LINED Paper
Another amazing journal! I would have liked it a bit better if it had a tie closure instead of an elastic one, but it's still a great piece and the quality is fantastic as usual!
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
