One notebook. One companion. Three inserts. Your initials on the cover. Everything you need — ready to carry from day one.

Handmade to order in our Lobethal studio. Current lead time is 4 to 5 weeks before dispatch. Ready to Ship pieces are sent the next business day.

On the outside: full-grain leather, clean and considered. Open it and everything changes.

Internal sleeves hold whatever needs to stay close. The card you haven't filed yet. The folded page from the meeting two days ago. Something you're still working through. Full-length stitching runs the cover. Nothing inside is an afterthought -- the sleeves are cut from the same leather as the cover, stitched not glued, built to last as long as the outside does.

Pick it up. It has the weight of something that is going to work hard.

If you have tried the minimal versions and found yourself wanting more -- more structure, more places for things, more of a system -- this is where you end up. The Curator is the notebook for the person who has already decided what they need.

Initials pressed into the front panel using a traditional hot embossing machine -- a method unchanged since the 1880s. On a notebook this considered, the embossing feels like the final thing that makes it completely, irreversibly yours.

  • Internal leather sleeves with full-length stitching
  • Four spine elastics hold 4 inserts comfortably -- add more as you go
  • Full-grain Australian leather
  • Cut and stitched by hand in Lobethal SA
  • 3 x 60 page lined inserts included
  • Refillable for life
  • Free embossing up to 5 letters, Goudy all caps

A4, B6 + B5 are made to order - please allow 3 to 4 weeks 

The Companion upgrade: A5 ONLY

Slide The Companion into any elastic-spine notebook and it becomes a system.

Slim upholstery leather with more movement than the cover. Full-height sleeve, smaller sleeves, one zippered compartment. Cards, receipts, a folded note. Everything that needs to stay put, stays put. Lays flat at 31 x 21 cm. Fits a Moleskine Cahier.

Add The Companion for $125 (save $25 when bundled).

Choose your Companion leather: Butterscotch · Tobacco · Worn Saddle · Black Beauty · Apple Green · Cherry Red

People come back for a second one. That tells you most of what you need to know.
