Description
Journal lovers, sketchbook keepers, and analog fiends! People of the books! We’ve finally constructed a staple journal made from new locally sourced veg tanned leather in both brown – Harper – and black – Jackson – that are ready for your stories, musings and sketches. They are lined with antique textiles and of course still boast all of the Peg and Awl journal goodness, but unlike all of the others, these two are here to stay.
Inside you’ll find line-free Strathmore drawing paper – thick, hand-torn, acid-free pages that work perfectly with ink, pens both thick and superfine, pencil, charcoal, and a myriad of other mediums. The pages are each hand-stitched with archival linen binder’s thread, shaped and re-enforced with linen tape and tarlatan and finished with a red and golden headband. The books can be carried daily and beat up. They are strong creatures.

I absolutely love my little Harper Journal! I use it to record my artistic goals, take notes, and do little watercolors. Im halfway through the book and planning on expanding to the next size up! Peg and Awl do such a fantastic job. I'm very impressed with the company - reclamation, sustainability and overall artistic work ethic included.

Was supposed to be a gift but recipient wanted something very large instead. I would have returned this but it was just too beautiful. Mine now & I’m loving it :)
- EHElizabeth H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoReviewingThe Carson Journal (Green)beautifully made journal
The journal is beautifully made & the engraved quote turned out lovely. I have several journals in black with quotes engraved on the cover, too. I love them all but the engraving shows up especially well on the green. It feels quite special to have such a beautiful & personalized book to fill with thoughts & images.

This is my entrée into the world of fine journals and I must say, I love it. I haven’t created in it yet and look forward to using this paper and making it mine. I like that this is a permanent offering which is why I took the plunge. I haven’t yet found a journal I’m smitten with and I believe this will leave me starry eyed.
