The Around the World leather-bound notebook is a 22x12x1.5 cm, 80-page handmade travel journal, designed for travellers, dreamers and explorers. The brown leather cover is embossed with travel motifs — map, compass, flight-path-like designs — and the inner 80 pages are made of recycled paper with a slightly beige tone. You receive a companion that, slipped into the side pocket of your backpack, comes with you on every journey.
What leather-bound means for this notebook
"Leather-bound" here means the outer cover of the notebook is made of leather, and the binding structure is hand-stitched. The leather protects the 80 pages from all the friction of a backpack, bag or coat pocket — tucked under a train seat, beside a sleeping bag in a tent, or in a beach bag, your writing stays safe. Over the years the leather develops a natural patina: every journey you take leaves a small mark on the cover, and the notebook ages along with you.
Recycled paper on the road
The 80 pages are made of recycled paper with a slightly yellowish-beige tone and a slightly rough, canvas-like surface. This paper handles travel use particularly well: a coffee-cup ring, a grain of beach sand or fine mountain-flower dust may leave a mark on it, and that only makes the notebook more personal. The 1.5 cm spine lies comfortably flat on a desk, a train table or a hut bench — you can write anywhere you feel inspired.
What you can use it for on the road
The Around the World notebook makes an excellent travel journal, where you can date the days, describe the cities, the encounters, the moods, the tastes and the scents. It can also serve as a sketchbook — the slightly rough paper often gives a more beautiful pencil drawing than smooth drawing paper. You can tuck train tickets, letters, glued-in map cut-outs or local flower petals inside it. Once home, the memories live on in a tangible, page-turn-able notebook — far more personally than in a phone gallery.
Size, weight and material — what you need to know exactly
The notebook measures 22 cm long, 12 cm wide and 1.5 cm thick. It weighs about 220 grams, so it fits in a backpack organiser pocket or the side pocket of hand luggage. The cover material is leather, the inner pages are made of recycled paper. Country of origin: India — where handmade notebook-making is a centuries-old tradition, and every piece is hand-stitched and hand-bound. Recycled paper is a sign of environmental awareness.
