Group of different sized Merlin leather journals

Covers are made from natural raw leather full of character with an aged, rustic, one-of-a-kind look and distinctive pull up.

Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften and develop variations in color.

Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.

When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible and beautiful books. Omg I’ve had so much fun creating an album for my son and his wife, one for me, and another for my niece in Scotland. What a treasure they are."
