Handcrafted Italian Leather Journal

 

  • A one-of-a-kind, luxurious journal for you to express your own unique works within its pages. This museum-quality journal is produced by our artisan team in Florence, Italy, to be passed down through generations. Our master bookbinder has 15 years of expertise in recovering historical books and holds a degree from the Italian ministry of cultural heritage. The finished product is stunning, with distressed leather structure and color marbling.
  • While other leather journals usually have low-quality binding and thin paper that allows ink to seep through, our journal contains 320 hand-stitched pages of the highest grade 28-lb. Acid-free archival paper. Our cream-colored, unlined strong drawing paper, is manufactured by Fabriano, the oldest paper mill in Europe, with a deckled edge for an old-world aesthetic. Writing and drawing in this rich book is a new level of indulgence, with the perfect surface for any form of ink, charcoal, or pencil.
  • Epica journals, like a good wine, are made to be enjoyed. Our book has an unrivaled elegance & attention to detail design, with hand-pressed panels for lay-flat opening and a delicate page marker. Three sizes are available for this exquisite diary: small – ideal for transporting; large – ideal for use as a guest book; extra-large – favored by artists. This diary will be enjoyed by generations to come as the perfect unique gift for the writing enthusiast to fill with their original writings.
  • Our passion at Epica is to entertain customers with the best handcrafted Italian leather notebooks, journals, and photo albums. We feel that elegance inspires people. We work diligently to ensure that elegance runs through every aspect of our work, spending time in Italy each year to create meaningful relationships with our artisans and craftsmen.
