About this notebook
Picked up with one hand. Already working.

At the centre is The Scribe: a trifold leather cover with a clean wraparound closure, full-grain on the outside and soft suede within. Direct, contained, made to get to work.

Around it, The Companion brings quiet order. A slim leather insert with a full-height sleeve, card sleeves, and a zippered compartment, it sits inside on its own elastic and holds the loose pieces of a working life.

Three 60 page lined inserts are already in place, so there is something to write in from the first morning. When one fills, it slides out and a fresh one slides in. The leather stays, and gets better.

Initials pressed into the notebook's outside wrap flap before it leaves the studio, using a traditional hot embossing machine. A gift like this needs nothing added to it. It arrives finished, wrapped, and already theirs.

Make it yours
A method unchanged since the 1880s.

Initials pressed into the notebook's outside wrap flap using a traditional hot embossing machine. No foil, no ink. Just heat, pressure, and time. The impression settles into the leather and stays there for the life of the notebook.

Included with every bundle at no extra cost. The Companion is left unmarked.

What people say
Real people. Real leather. Real use.
The leather smell hit me the moment I opened the box. Three months in and it's already mine in a way I didn't expect. It goes everywhere. I haven't used a different notebook since.

Bought this for my husband's 60th. The initials on the front were the detail that got him. He opened it very slowly, which doesn't happen often. Couldn't have been more right.
Wendy K, Adelaide
The Curator -- Blacksmith -- A5 -- October 2025
I was looking for something I wouldn't have to replace. I've had this eight months and I can already see how it's going to look in five years. That's a good feeling.
James D, Brisbane
The Curator -- Worn Saddle -- A5 -- April 2025
I came back for The Curator after The Scribe. The sleeve system makes sense once you're using it daily. Jess was wonderful to deal with -- a genuine response from a real person.

A note from Jess
The Scribe works hardest when it has the Companion inside it -- the cards and loose pages stop floating around the bag and the notebook just gets on with it. This bundle is that whole working setup in one box, embossed and ready. For the person who writes every day, it is the most useful thing I ship.
-- Jess, Lobethal
