This handcrafted, fully lined leather cover is made for the pocket-size, 3.5" x 5.5" Moleskine notebook or sketchbook. It is completely made by hand without machines from start to finish (not even a sewing machine). It has a slot for the Moleskine's elastic band to pull through in order to hold the notebook cover closed when not in use. The slot has been reinforced with a double layer of leather, and has been completely handstitched around the edge.
The outer leather is full grain camel leather. It has been lined with camel skin lining for added durability.

Each notebook cover is constructed from full grain camel leather, which has 3 times the shear strength of cowhide. Having 10 times the collagen fiber density of cow leather, it has  a truly unique texture and grain.
Every notebook cover is saddle-stitched by hand using luxury French Fil Au Chinois "lin câblé" thread coated with beeswax. This the same thread used exclusively by craftsmen for Hermes and Louis Vuitton. And because each stitch is a saddle-stitch, even if the thread is cut, it will not pull out like a stitch made by a sewing machine.

Why camel leather?

My choice to use camel leather is intentional. The camel leather we use is ethically-sourced, which means camels are not raised for leather.

Also, it is tanned using a chrome-free process. Avoiding the use of toxic chemicals to make this leather allows the tannery to recycle 80% of the water and to compost the waste. From an environmental standpoint, this is very important. On the sustainability side, it is also important to note that camels require up to 40X less water than cows, which significantly reduces their impact on the environment.

Cool fact: Camel leather is up to 3X stronger than cow leather, and softer.

Every item is completely designed and made by hand without machines in my Washington DC studio.
