Collection: Leather Journal

Premium Full-Grain Leather Journals

Vintage journals have an antique-looking, rustic, and distressed look to them. They appeal to anyone who loves the old-fashioned and retro aesthetics. These journals evoke nostalgia and longing for the past. They allow you to step back in time and write like the great writers, philosophers, and artists of our history.

Types And Uses 

Vintage-looking journals come in all forms and sizes. Vintage can mean anything, from the Victorian style of the 1890s, the art deco style of the 1920s, the hippie style of the 1960s, etc.

The look and feel of a vintage journal depend a lot on the material and color of its cover and pages. For vintage journals using leather, the resulting style depends on the color of the leather. Leather covers with warm natural colors like brown or tan make for journals that are antique, rural, and rustic looking. Leather covers that are black or brightly colored give off a more modern, urban, and sleek look.

Antique and rustic leather pairs better with paper pages that are dark-colored, stained, or deckle edge. Modern-looking leather covers, on the other hand, go better with creamy light-colored paper pages.

Uses For A Leather Journal

An antique and rustic leather journal can be used for several general-purpose and special types of journaling such as:  

Diary and Daily Journal – You can use any type of journal for your diary, but a vintage and rustic leather journal adds romance and nostalgia to your entries. If you love this kind of aesthetic, this can motivate you to be more diligent in recording your daily experiences, thoughts, and emotions.  

Art Journal – Art journaling is less structured than a diary and the majority of the pages are filled with sketching, drawing, doodling, painting, etc. Using vintage and rustic leather journals can elevate your art and give it a timeless look.

Sketch Pad – Similar to art journaling but without the writing, you can use a vintage leather journal to make your sketches appear old. This is very useful if you are doing vintage or old-style drawings.   

Junk Journal – Junk journaling is where you upcycle junk or discarded materials into a journal. This involves less writing or drawing and focuses more on curating your objects or ‘junk’. A vintage and rustic leather journal with thick paper and strong binding is the ideal journal for this purpose. It also adds to the ‘old and used’ character of any junk.

Bible Journal – If you are a Christian, a Bible journal is a staple for you to live a Bible-led life. The look and feel of a vintage rustic leather journal pair well with the aesthetics of the Bible. It makes you feel like you’re writing on parchment paper. This can inspire you to keep to your devotions.

Spell Book – A spell book journal is useful for Witches, Wiccans, Pagans, etc. who want to keep track of magic spells and record their progress. Recording your journey in magic using a vintage leather journal is like reconnecting with the past’s mystical and medieval era.

Book of Shadows – This is similar to the spell book journal but has more personal and detailed contents. A thick journal with an antique look fits the Book of Shadows aesthetic best.

Adventure Journal – This is for the adventurer who needs a sturdy and tough but still stylish journal. You’d want a rustic leather journal if you imagine yourself like the travelers and explorers in the past. There’s no better way to keep records of your adventures and travel discoveries.

Multifunctional Vintage Leather Journals For Men and Women

When you order a vintage leather journal, you can choose between two types of specialty paper: deckle edge or natural lined. Deckle edge paper has more of a discolored vintage look and gives your journal a rustic and distressed feel. Natural lined paper is a good choice if you want lines in your writing journal.

Whichever paper you choose, you get a hand-pressed cotton thick paper that will not allow bleeding or blotting of ink from pens or any painting medium. Hand-pressed papers have a subtle unique texture that elevates your writing, painting, scrapbooking, sketching, and other artistic expressions.

Our vintage journals are available in compact and handy sizes that can fit any journaling need. Find the ideal one for your diary, art journal, junk journal, sketch pad, bible journal, daily journal, spell book, book of shadows, adventure journal, and others.
