Traveler's Notebook Regular Size of black leather
The Traveler's Notebook Regular in Black is a leather cover made from vegetable-tanned cowhide, hand-cut and designed for long-term use. The leather is untreated except for natural leather fat, which appears as a white powder when first opened and can be worked in with a soft cloth. Inside, a sealed cord holds the inserts – replaceable, combinable, tailored to your own needs.
Features
- Vegetable-tanned cowhide, hand-cut: The leather contains no synthetic treatments. Scratches, water marks and signs of wear visibly change the surface – the notebook develops a unique patina over time that reflects your personal use.
- Sealed insert cord: The inserts sit firmly on a secured cord and can still be exchanged at any time. This keeps the system flexible without inserts slipping or getting lost.
- Modular insert system: Blank, lined, grid, travel planner, watercolour paper with perforation, clear pocket, sticky notes for tickets – the inserts can be combined freely and reassembled for each trip or project.
- Closure elastic included: A black closure elastic keeps the notebook shut, with a spare elastic included.
- Linen protective pouch: The notebook comes in a linen protective pouch – suitable for storage or transport protection.
Use & Tips
- Break-in care: The white powder when first opening is natural leather fat – simply rub it in with a soft cloth. This makes the leather more supple and provides the first conditioning.
- Combining inserts: If you travel frequently, a travel planner insert works well with a clear pocket for boarding passes and tickets. For sketching on the go, the sturdy watercolour paper insert is ideal – the die-cut perforation makes it easy to remove individual pages.
- Writing instruments: The included blank insert works well with fountain pens with fine to medium nibs. If writing with ink, allow for drying time – the paper of standard inserts is uncoated and absorbs ink quickly.
- Leather over time: The notebook is meant to be carried, folded and used. Regular rubbing with colourless leather fat keeps the material supple; those who prefer natural ageing can leave the leather untreated.
- Size in daily use: At 22 × 12.5 cm, the Regular format fits into a jacket inside pocket or most bags – more compact than A5, larger than Pocket formats.
For Leather and System Notebook Enthusiasts
Vegetable-tanned leather ages differently than chrome-tanned leather: it absorbs moisture, pressure and light, changing colour and texture over months and years. Black leather shows these changes in brightness variations and glossy patches on the areas touched most often – spine, edges, the area around the cord. The result is unique to each copy, depending directly on how you carry it. Those who want to actively shape the leather can work deliberately with leather care oil or balm; those who prefer natural ageing need only use the notebook.
