Bi-fold Febrero Leather Journal Kit

Create your own bi-fold leather journal cover with this beginner-friendly DIY kit. Made from Febrero, a vegetable-tanned bovine leather from Japan, the kit requires no stitching and allows you to personalise your journal with your preferred leather and elastic cord colours.

Simply finish the leather edges, assemble the cover, and insert your favourite notebooks. Designed to be refillable, the journal cover can be reused as you replace your notebooks, while the leather's distinctive texture gradually smoothens and develops a rich patina with use.

About the Leather – Febrero

Produced in Tatsuno City, Japan, Febrero is a vegetable-tanned leather known for its distinctive texture and natural depth. The leather undergoes a hand-sanding process in a single direction, creating a unique, textured pattern that gradually smoothens as the leather develops a rich patina with use.
