Whether you are chronicling a bold adventure, or quietly sketching at home, this journal will remind you of a city you love. We hand select each hide from Seidel Tannery, etch the leather with an 1894 Rand McNally map of Chicago, Illinois, stitch and finish it in our studio.
This journal is made of full-grain leather and closes securely with a solid brass Sam Browne closure. It includes a lined Moleskine notebook which can be replaced again and again. It’s a long-lasting gift for the artist, writer, or adventurer in your life.
*As we make each item by hand with natural materials, there may be slight variations in your journal from the product that is pictured. Unless otherwise specified, all items are made to order. Please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping.*

Beautiful work. I get questions about this all the time. Reminds me of home
My order was custom sized A5 without pen loops. It is gorgeous and really unique. I am really picky (almost fascist), so I see some design elements that I would tweak (like making the width of flap wider so there isn’t a bump behind the journal, and adding a rear flap). But my order was very well made and crafted, and really special. What is not up for debate- Sarah provided THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
We love this journal. The detail and care with which it was made is clear. And I didn't realize it was reusable, can slide off the journal it comes with and place on a new one!
This is such quality craftsmanship. The journal’s leather is think and beautiful, and the component to secure the clasp feels like it will last forever. And customer support is so friendly. I’d definitely buy from this company again.
Journal was very nicely made and looked really good. My recipient really liked it.
