Pocket Notebook Strap Closure

Handmade Leather Pocket Notebook Cover – A6 Strap Closure | Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather, Handcrafted in Tennessee

Handmade one at a time at Happy Hollow Farm in the foothills of the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, this A6 leather pocket notebook cover is built for writers, travelers, and anyone who captures ideas on the go.

We source full hides directly from Wickett & Craig, one of the oldest and most respected tanneries in the United States, located in Pennsylvania — using only #1 quality hides tanned through a traditional vegetable process with no harsh chemicals. We cut, shape, and hand-build every pocket notebook cover from scratch at our workshop in East Tennessee. The leather develops a rich, character-filled patina with use, and every cover carries the subtle grain variations of a natural hide.
