Soft & supple - A classic journal & custom business card holder.
Classic in BlacksmithI recently purchased a classic journal and had Jess curate a custom business card holder. Both pieces were beautifully constructed with straight stitching and finished with a lovely brass press stud. The leather is soft and supple, and I can already tell it’s only going to get better with age. Thanks, Jess!

Beautifully Crafted
Signature in Rustic WhiskeyBeautifully 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 impeccable. 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!

A Rustic Masterpiece
Signature in Rustic WhiskeyThis 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.

Let customers speak for us
from 115 reviewsI recently purchased a classic journal and had Jess curate a custom business card holder. Both pieces were beautifully constructed with straight stitching and finished with a lovely brass press stud.

This is the second brush roll I have purchased. I bought them to keep my knitting needles organised. The zip pocket is great for keeping smaller items together.
Being able to have this beautiful item made to order, makes it even more special.
The workmanship is first class, and the leather is soft and tactile and I’m looking forward to many years of use and the leather improving as it ages.
Thanks Jess
Fantastic quality product and very well made and presented. Wife loved it.
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!

Beautiful leather journal for a perfect gift. Customer service was above and beyond. Thank you
Beautiful quality. Beautifully made
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.
Great customer service and the journal is even greater
Absolutely love my new leather journal, love the quality of the work and prompt delivery. Very happy, and would definitely consider buying other products.
Excellent quality and brilliant customer service
Bought this for my sister in law for Xmas. Embossed with her farm name on the front. She absolutely loved it!
