Hard Cover - Leather

Crafted and bound in our Florentine workshop, our stunning range of leather handmade journals make a perfect gift for the budding writer, or as a treat for yourself. The care and craftsmanship put into creating our diaries and notebooks can be felt in the first touch, and the skill of our artisans is second to none. Reviving the old-world craft of traditional Italian bookbinding, they product each element, from the soft and supple Italian leather covers to the hand-sewn bindings, inside our workshop. The only time we use machinery is to keep book spines straight while the glue dries, merging cover and pages together seamlessly. The paper we use is truly a luxurious medium. It’s been our signature ever since we found Il Papiro Firenze in 1976. Made of the highest quality fibres, the tactile surface holds ink, pencil and chalk fast, so you can capture the inner musings of your mind. What’s more, we also offer the option to add a unique touch by customising paper, colour and embossing – ideal for businesses and individuals.
Travel Journals

If you’re ready to wander the globe and record your experiences along the way, we have just the thing. Our luxury travel journals provide the perfect canvas to record your thoughts and experiences in a way you’ll love to look back on long after the journey is over. Laid down on the pages of Il Papiro traditionally crafted paper, your musings will be as treasured as the paper they’re captured on – evoking the spirit of the moment. Stay organised, on track and in the moment with these pieces by your side. Lined or blank pages are ready to take down all your destination ideas and plans, plus any photos or illustrations you might want to add in.
