Made for your daily thoughts and as a gift for your heirs. Imagine opening up that proverbial wood chest and finding in it an old book your great grandfather wrote in and how you sit on the floor to read it and learn about life "back then" and his hidden thoughts and secret loves and desires and day to day activities. Memories are what last and while we may not think of them as anything much today, our heirs will cherish and be enriched by them. Give the gift of your words to your kids and grandkids and great grandkids with a book that will stand the test of time. Whether you are an artist wanting a fine paper to draw or watercolor on or a writer wanting their words to last for generations, this book will get it done. It is rustic, durable and will never go out of style. What you Write IN says as much about you as WHAT You Write! Paper upgrades are available to fountain pen users. Contact us for more information about that. ## Features - Each book is individually handmade to order in Santa Fe, NM. Hand torn paper leaves a beautiful rough and rustic edge. - Our unique hand stitching not only allows your book to lay completely flat when opened but you will be able to turn your book completely over on itself for writing in tight spaces. Watch our Book Bashing video to see just how durable our books really are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZhHfaE2UJs - OUR LEATHER comes from a 6th generation tannery in the Italian Alps just outside of Venice, Italy. It is 2.2mm thick, oil tanned and uses unbranded, humanely treated English cows. What this means is that it is the highest quality leather in the world, it is soft and flexible and will last for many generations. - OUR PAPER: We use Arches Text Wove paper in all of our books. It is 120gsm, 100% cotton rag and a multi use artist paper good for all mediums and especially watercolor washes. Arches mills were founded in 1492. They are considered to be among the longest lasting and best papers made in the world so your thots and ideas, drawing and scribbles will last for many generations as your legacy and a gift to your heirs. ## Images ![Rustic Italian Leather Journal or Sketchbook 5w x 6-1/2h x 80 pages in soft Cognac brown Italian tanned leather.

This one is real, thick, durable, smells awesome and even has a practical side since it's paper binding is designed to open up flat. This allows easy note-taking or art work. It is very authentic and ornate looking. Would make a great prop in a medieval play and I love the wrap-around, braided strap. I think he'll really like it. I'm having my brother add a preacher's quote written in calligraphy in the front cover. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the overall aesthetic and handmade quality *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015* Love the overall aesthetic and handmade quality. The attention to detail is wonderful. The paper quality is great, though many of the pages have a slightly debossed watermark that I do not like at all, but as a designer I understand how hard it might be to get around that and will still give this product a much deserved 5 star review. Love the leather and the fact that it is personalized with my initials. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True handcrafted beauty *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013* I was asked by Renaissance Art to write this review in exchange for them impringint the cover of the journal. With that said, I love this journal. I purchased this for my wife for our third anniversary (leather anniversary). I had the intentions of her using the journal for a high quality sketch book. She loved it. My wife is a very talentd artist, so she only uses high quality materials. She just couldn't put the journal down.The cratfsmanship that went into the journal shows very clearly. The pages are beautifully hand torn to give it a rustic look. It feels like you are looking at a journal from the 1700's. The leather is so soft and luxurious. It folds around your hand as you hold it. For me the braided cord for the closure was a very nice touch. It gives the journal a sense of security and yet makes it feel so open.I would absolutely recommend thiis product. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14247134-rustic-italian-leather-journal-or-sketchbook-5w-x-6-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14247134-rustic-italian-leather-journal-or-sketchbook-5w-x-6-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
