Carefully crafted by hand using only the best quality full grain tough rustic cowhide leather, these personalized notebook covers are built to endure. As the journals are handled they will gain unique markings, making them even more personal and truly one of a kind. Each notebook cover is made to order and is personalized by hand in my small workshop.

This travel notebook has 4 elastic strands which can hold 4 notebooks in place. You can easily swap them out at any time & they are compatible with many easily available inserts.

PERSONALIZATION INFO

‣ Each individual brass letter is placed by hand
‣ Heat and pressure is used for embossing to ensure a quality & lasting imprint. (superior to laser engraving)
‣ Choose to personalize with your name, date, initials or special words.
‣ The font will be times new roman.
‣ I will choose the size type that suits your request best - going with large or small where it makes sense aesthetically.
‣ All sentence case will be done in 24 pt (the smaller letters shown in examples)
‣ The larger letters are only available in uppercase.
‣ Embossing is available on the front side only
‣ My processing times are fast, so I do not provide photos or a proof before shipping - but it will be just as beautiful as my examples.

Size info:
All brands of inserts in the same size will fit.

Please let me know if you are unsure which option is best for your preferred notebook/inserts.

LEATHER INFO:
‣ Real thick full grain cowhide leather
‣ Since leather is a natural material, please expect slight variances & imperfections. Like with all luxury leathers, expect potential tannery stamps on the inside of the leather. These are small markings of luxury, authenticity. I will not provide a refund for this stamp on the inside of the leather applied by the tannery.
Full grain vegetable tanned cowhide leather ( real leather) : Firm, smooth texture, builds amazing patina, pliable but holds shape over time. Vibrant colors.

PROCESSING TIME & SHIPPING
‣ Processing time is the amount of time I need to create your custom leather journal cover. This info can be found below the add to cart button, as well as from within the cart before checkout. Estimated delivery dates for your location can also be found here. Rush shipping can be purchased from inside the cart, just before checking out.

Sarah May 9, 2026

I got the leather journal cover in oxblood as a birthday present and I couldn’t be more delighted. I’ve been toying with switching to a traveller’s journal-esque setup but hesitated, not wanting to pay the price for the popular mass produced social media brands with no guarantee of quality. I’m glad I went with Forest Nine in the end. The quality is fantastic and the entire journal feels like it is crafted with care and skill. The colour is stunning and pictures don’t do it justice. The packaging even seems thoughtfully chosen, and the addition of extra elastic was a nice touch too. I couldn’t recommend this cover enough to others like me who want every journal they write in to feel special. I also added my own little sentimental charms to the front elastic for even more personalisation! Thanks so much Alyssia

I had a great experience with the Alyssa. She made sure I loved my journal, and I did a very thorough research before purchasing this specific journal cover. The quality is unmatched, the craftsmanship is just perfect. I love it, right now I have 3 A5 journals, and I know I can fit a 4th, I also have a plastic pouch to fit all my stickers, pictures, etc! I will purchase another soon for my husband, he’d like a passport size and he compared this journal to my Paper republic pocket and prefers this one!

I am in love with my journal cover. I chose the violet colour and it is aging so beautifully. I have 3 notebooks inside it and I could definitely squeeze in another if I wanted to. Alyssia was so wonderful to work with and her craftmanship is fantastic.
