I bound this antique style journal with hand dyed brownish Italian leather. The symbols engraved on the center plates are 'Great Architect' which signifies a concept of a supreme deity who designed and created the universe with purpose and wisdom.
I bound my journal with quality leather, 95gr light creamy color blank paper which is great not only for fountain pens (it doesn't bleed through) but also for graphite and watercolor. Pages are hand sewed. I did gold decorations with 24K gold leaves and I completed the journal with a tooled leather bookmark for harmony and beauty. Edges are decorated. Marbled endpapers are unique because I made and selected the best one for this journal.
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 this journal is not a moleskine that it bends on itself. This journal has a structure, it is sewn on five cords, it has a rounded and hammered back. This journal opens well and is easy to write. It'll last longer and will protect your words through the future generations.
-Size: about 17x23cm (=6.7x9 inches)
-About 380 pages (about 190 sheets)
You're welcome to personalize the journal with engraved title or initials on the spine. After your order, I'll contact you for personalization.

I initially wrote a fairly negative review of this journal, but after now using it for three weeks. I have altered my opinion to be much more favourable.
I initially had two chief complaints.
1. Paper quality. I stated this was poor. It isn’t. In fact, I have written in the journal with a 1.9mm stub nib with a very wet ink, and had not even a hint of feathering or bleeding, and in fact, only the tiniest hint of ghosting - and that’s quite incredible. I was initially put off because the paper is quite textured. However, it is undeniably good quality, if not initially to my taste. But also, over time, I have come to realise that the paper texture is really the only paper that would make sense in a journal of this kind. A shiny, coated paper would be completely out of place.
2. Concavity of the covers. This was a misunderstanding on my part. The style of binding used deliberately represents a medieval/olde worlde style of binding, in which the covers are properly somewhat concave. The have been perfectly stable.
Now I understand the product better, I could not be happier.
