Monastic style journal—large size—personalized journal

I bound this Monastic journal with brownish hand-dyed Italian leather and handmade marbled paper. The journal can be personalized with your initials or a title on the spine. I did blind-tooling decorations on the cover. The paper is 95 gr, light creamy in color, and well suited for ink, graphite, and watercolor. The edges are marbled. The marbled endpapers are unique, as I made and selected the best one specifically for this journal.

I bind each journal with high-quality materials; it will keep your words, ideas, and dreams safe for a long time.

All processes are done by hand, in accordance with tradition and respect for the environment. Although it takes a lot of time, this journal is bound with love and care, making each one a unique piece.

Please note that this journal is not a Moleskine that bends back on itself. This journal has a structure: it is sewn on five cords and has a rounded and hammered back. This journal opens smoothly and is easy to write in. It is built to last and will protect your words for years to come.

• Size: about 17×22.5  cm (about 6.7 × 8.9 inches)
• About 400pages (about 200 sheets)

You’re welcome to personalize the journal with an engraved title or initials on the spine. After your order, I’ll contact you regarding personalization.
