The ‘Whistler’ Brushroll

Perfect size for my brushes, pencils and other bits and pieces. I love the adjustable length and sides and the leather is beautifully soft. I love it!

Beautifully Crafted

Beautifully crafted journal with a rich scent of leather and a weight that conveys quality and opulence. The leather tones of the Rustic Whiskey are magnificent, and the monogramming impeccible. You will not be disappointed. Jess was an absolute delight to deal with, responsive and going above and beyond to assist with an urgent delivery. I also love how these journals allow you to fill them with your favourite paper or pads, meaning they will last a lifetime. I can't believe I have only just discovered Rustic Wren and artisan Jess. Absolutely delighted with this journal and the little unexpected extra that was included was cream on top! I will be buying more!

The 'Willie Wagtail' Leather Journal in Rustic Whiskey
A Rustic Masterpiece

This handcrafted leather journal truly embodies authentic rustic charm. With its textured leather, marked by natural imperfections, it stands out not just for its unique character but as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Initially, I was apprehensive about the price, but upon receiving it, any reservations were instantly dispelled. Plus, the fact that it is locally crafted in Adelaide is an added bonus.

A really fantastic gift

I ordered The Honey Eater Journal + Whistler Brushroll as a gift for a Artist friend and had it personalised. Jess was wonderful, communication was easy and she ensured I had the items in the required timeframe. When they arrived they looked great and the beautiful smell of the leather was wonderful. The giftee was thrilled to pieces with them.

The 'Wild Wedge Tailed Eagle' Leather Journal
Authentic and beautifully crafted journal!

Quality of the leather is great and the journal is such a unique gift/personal purchase. Jess does a lovely job and you can tell she loves what she does! Expect a delay for shipping as it is handcrafted (about a month from ordering to shipping but SO worth it). A truly excellent work of art!
