The little, black book...

Cut almost entirely from a single piece of Firm, Italian leather, this sleek take on the classic leather pocket journal was designed to balance functionality with minimal design by reducing the overall size, and being easily refillable.

The smooth void space of the inner cover and use of natural retention in lieu of a latch closure help to keep the lines clean and remove any hesitation or distraction from the creative moment.

It also gets better with time, as it softens and takes on the scars and characteristics of its owner's lifestyle.

Key Features:

• Ages incredibly well and made to soften, and close easier with use
• Entirely hand cut (no machines or dies) 
• Hand-sewn with durable, Japanese thread (Vinymo MBT Japan)
• Includes four Obsidian Note books
• Lovely 3.6in x 3.6in square shape
• Italian vegetable tan leather (MPG Industria Conciaria)
• Tight grained leather that doesn't flake, and has a rich black color
• Absolutely no distracting branding on the leather

**This is a natural product that lived a life. dimples, striations, and scaring, give unique qualities and character to each piece. I do my best to balance this with a more streamlined, modern aesthetic.

Creator Note

This design represents the complete vision for Obsidian Notes, and represents the "applied simplicity" that I strive for in everything that I make.
