Small Journal, Big Impact

The Mini Leather Journal is compact and crafted with durable leather that ages beautifully, developing a unique patina over time. Its slim design offers just enough paper for quick doodles, drawings, or notes, making it the perfect on-the-go companion.

100 GSM Blank Ivory Sheets

Inside, we wanted something rich and thick without the roughness or the guilt. So, we went with wood-free sheets with an impressive thickness of 100gsm (grams-per-square-meter). The end result is paper that provides the perfect balance of glide and resistance.

How long until I receive my order?

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Mini Leather Journal ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
