Handmade Leather Pocket-Friendly Miniature Diary: Dark Brown

A miniature leather diary in dark brown, small enough to disappear into a pocket, a purse or the front of a backpack. It is the cheapest book on this shelf and probably the one that gets used most.

There is a case for keeping the smallest journal you own for the least considered writing. Nothing about it suggests you should be doing something worthy with the page, which is precisely why things get written in it.

What You Are Getting

A handmade leather miniature diary in dark brown. Pocket sized. Handmade, so the leather and the finish vary from one to the next.

Good to Know

Leather is a hide, so every cover takes the grain and the dye differently and no two are the same. Marks and creases are not faults in a journal like this; they are the reason it looks the way it does in a year. A brass clasp stiffens for the first few weeks and then settles.

Use It For

Notes on the move, a card pulled at the counter, a dream you catch on the way to the kitchen. Also a good first journal for someone who has never kept one and does not want to spend sixty dollars finding out whether they will.

Pair It With

The Mini Leather Travel Journal has more pages, and the 5 by 3 evil eye mini has a clasp. Something to write with: the Quill Pen and Stand in Sparkling Gray or Lavender Gold. To close a page or a letter, Wicca Sealing Wax. More in journals.
