Description

"Experience the pinnacle of Roman bookbinding with the Manufactus Medieval Leather Journal. Hand-stitched by skilled artisans in Italy, this collection features supple Nabuk leather—a top-grain cattle hide that has been sanded to create a velvet-like surface that is both durable and luxurious to the touch.

Each journal is filled with authentic Amalfi paper, a legendary handmade paper from the Amalfi coast known for its distinct deckled edges and high cotton content. This combination of traditional Manufactus leatherwork and historic Italian paper creates a writing vessel that feels as though it were pulled from a 14th-century scriptorium. Available in three sizes, these journals are designed for the serious writer who demands heritage quality and timeless Italian style."

  • Brand: Authentic Manufactus - Hand-finished in Rome, Italy.

  • Leather: Genuine Nabuk leather (Sanded top-grain) for a soft, matte finish.

  • Construction: Authentic hand-stitched "Medieval" binding for maximum durability.

  • Sizes Available: Small, Medium, and Large (Choose from the dropdown).

  • Perfectly suited for writers, poets, artists, travelers, composers & students, these journals have a rich history and are the legendary journals of Van Gogh, Hemingway and Picasso.
  • 80 sheets - not refillable

Amalfi paper journal

Incredibly soft leather. Paper has a very unique feel but holds up well. I typically use fountain pens and the paper does not bleed through.

Excellent, Just needs instructions for refilling

I absolutely adore these journals. I have them all, ordered from Nostalgic Impressions. They are perfect for diaries and for impressive note-taking. The paper is magnificent and the leather is breath-taking. Only one thing can make this journal perfect 5 stars, the ability to hand-sew in a refill. Inside the journal is 8 sections of hand-sewn twine to hold the paper inside. The quantity of the leather is enough to hold more than double the paper, so, Loving these journals as much as I do, I really want to sew in more paper. These journals are absolutely gorgeous !
