Hardcover Journal in British Tan Traditional Leather by Graphic Image - 9 in.

Library hubs along the spine and squared corners give this british tan leather journal the bearing of a small bound volume. Inside are 224 lined, cream-white pages with gilt edges, joined with Smyth sewing and marked by a satin ribbon. It is a substantial place for observations, plans or a continuing piece of writing.

“I would give this journal one clear purpose at the outset, whether garden notes or daily observations; a dedicated book is far easier to return to than a collection of loose pages.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust the closed volume gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, working away from the spine.

Keep away from splashes, direct sunlight and radiators; store upright with gentle support, or flat if the volume is large. Do not apply household polish, oils or leather dressing to the binding.

Maker / Heritage

Graphic Image began with Bennett Glazer’s attention to typography and the leather diaries he designed in 1977. His earlier work as the Franklin Library’s first design director gave the company its grounding in collectible bookbinding. A long collaboration with Tiffany & Co. included developing signature blue leathers from French and Italian tanneries, a revealing example of how closely the company considers color and finish. That same care connects its books, albums and home accessories. The aim is a familiar object worth handling and sharing, with a binding or leather surface that invites it into daily life.
