Description

Banksia Personalized Leather Notebook Cover

The Banksia Personalized Leather Notebook Cover is designed to hold your thoughts. A piece of beautiful full grain vegetable tanned leather is selected, cut and then hand dyed and sealed. Then stitching holes are then punched and the pieces are saddle stitched together by hand. Finally, the edges are then burnished and sealed with bees wax.

The features of the Banksia Personalized Leather Notebook Cover are:

  • Dimensions: 6.2″ x 4.1″ (15.7cm x 10.5cm) – accepts Notebooks or Passports up to 5.75″ x 3.75″ (14.5cm x 9.5cm)
  • Accepts Moleskine Pocket Cahier Journals
  • Saddle stitched together by hand using strong waxed thread.
  • Leather is coloured using non toxic water based dye.
  • Hand burnished edges sealed with bees wax.
  • 3-4 Oz (1.4 mm – 1.6mm) full grain vegetable tanned Cowhide Leather.
  • Due to variations in a natural product such as vegetable tanned leather, you can expect that each notebook cover will be unique.

These covers are all made by hand and to order so the production time of these is roughly 1-2 weeks.

Personalisation is done by pressing hot characters down onto the leather. By using the hot characters the grain of the leather will not be damaged so the chance of leather fraying is reduced.

  • Font used is Times Roman.
  • As a guide – up to 15 characters per line

Leather

The leather used to make this item is a 3-4 Oz (1.4 – 1.6 mm) full grain vegetable tanned Leather made from the skin of cows.Ā Full Grain vegetable tanned leather develops a patina during its lifetime.

Full-grain leather refers to hides that have not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed (as opposed to top-grain or corrected leather) to remove imperfections (or natural marks) on the surface of the hide. As a result of this, the grain remains which contains the fibre, strength and durability. The grain has breathability, resulting in less moisture from prolonged contact.

Vegetable-tanned leather is tanned using tannins and other ingredients found in different vegetable matter, such as tree bark prepared in bark mills, wood, leaves, fruits and roots and other similar sources. This tanning process is the most eco friendly and has been used to make leather for thousands of years. Due to this process, he leather created is supple and cream to brown in colour, with the exact shade depending on the mix of chemicals and the colour of the skin. It is the only form of leather suitable for use in leather carving or stamping.

Ounces are used to measure leather thickness. One ounce equals 1/64″ (0.4 mm) in thickness. So a weight of 7 to 8 oz. means the leather is 7/64″ (2.8 mm) to 8/64″ (3.2 mm) in thickness or approximately 1/8″ thick. The thickness of leather varies to some extent throughout the hide. Thus, leather is graded a range of thickness such as 4 to 5 oz., or 6 to 7 oz. As a comparison, a quarter (coin) is equal to a 4 oz. thickness.A standard thickness for belts is a 7 to 8 oz leather.

  1. Etsy buyer –

    I couldn’t find what I wanted anywhere but Nick was happy to make the notebook cover as a one off design based on my measurements and photo. It turned out exactly as I described and made beautifully. The leather is thick and the stitching strong giving it an authentic handmade feel. It has already softened and shaped to my back pocket. I am very happy it.

  2. Brian –

    I purchased this leather passport cover as a last minute gift, and I was very happy with the express shipping and most importantly the quality of the item. Thick leather, nice stamping, simple and elegant styling. Definitely will make more purchases in the future.

    We ordered these to use as covers for our US National Parks Passports, and they far surpassed even our high expectations. Beautiful leather, supurb craftsmanship and exceptionally fine customer service. I would highly recommend this vendor and his products.

  15. Ron –

    Fantastic notebook cover! Elegant and practical design (easily holds lots of cards, cash, etc.), wonderfully thin yet strong kangaroo leather with lots of character, and masterful stitching and edge burnishing/finishing. PLUS, Nick customized the size for me to make it 10 x 15 centimeters, so that it’s the perfect fit for Field Notes notebooks. And as always (I’ve made several purchases from Nick), his customer service is terrific! Highly recommended!

  16. Etsy buyer –

  17. Ron –

    This is the second Notebook Cover I have purchased from Nick and, like the first one, he customized it to my precise specifications. And the result is GORGEOUS! Wonderful kangaroo leather with lots of character, masterful stitching and edge finishing, and made and shipped very quickly! I’ve made several purchases from Nick, and he and his creations never fail to impress! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

  18. Ron –

    Yet another highly customized Notebook Cover from Nick. As usual, he carefully followed my detailed specifications, used gorgeous kangaroo leather with lots of character, and cut and stitched the leather–and finished and waxed the edges–with masterful craftsmanship. After many great purchases from Nick, he continues to get my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

  19. Ron –

    I’ve purchased several items from Nick, and they’ve all been terrific, but this time he truly has outdone himself. Nick patiently worked with me to further refine the details of a customized kangaroo leather notebook cover, and the result is simply stunning! He specially chose a hide of gorgeous and thin Honey kangaroo leather for this project, and then masterfully cut, stitched, and finished/burnished the edges of that beautiful leather into a true masterpiece. As always, Nick and his work get my highest recommendation. Thank you, Nick!

    A well made item. Exactly as ordered. Will fit most A6 journals

  80. Beck –

    Beautifully made and high quality materials. I ordered the A6 and although the cover is the exact measurements of A6, this means that an A6 journal doesn’t fit in it… Keep the size of the insert you want to use in mind šŸ˜Š

  81. Simon –

  82. Ashleigh –

    A nice cover, my mistake for not paying close attention to sizing as I thought it would be bigger. Overall quality and look is to a high standard.
