[Collector's Edition] Hand-stitched Leather Journal. Planner. Notebook. Diary. N041

One day, a friend asked, "What's your handmade book's style?" I replied, "Each one is different!" But we only incorporate leather. The more raw, natural, and unprocessed the leather, the more we like it. We don't over-process it; design flows naturally and spontaneously with the unique edges of each piece. So, I don't have a specific style... Suddenly, the words "no specific style" and the concept of "un-styled" came to mind, and that became the brand name. The English name "Free & Non" also reflects our spontaneous and personal creative approach. ◆ Design Philosophy ◆ We appreciate a raw, rugged aesthetic with minimal processing. Therefore, we preserve the original state of each piece of leather, cherishing and respecting the unique textures and patterns on the surface of every cowhide. Marks left from inevitable bumps, injuries, or bites during the cow's growth are precisely what we embrace as features, much like how we all carry different life experiences. We retain the complete, raw, and rugged edges of the leather, utilizing every scrap that remains. Each book is meticulously hand-stitched, creating one-of-a-kind handmade journals, shared with those who, like us, enjoy documenting life's moments. We create unique blank notebooks, intended to be enriched by their owners, making them more complete and imbued with warmth, thus becoming personal records of a life's journey. ◆ Product Information ◆ Cover: Unprocessed, top-grain cowhide leather Inner Pages: 100g imported Daolin paper, off-white (blank) Page Count: 160 sheets, 320 pages Inner Page Size: W22cm x H13.5cm Finished Product Size: Approx.

This natural variation is what Free & Non values. ◎ Natural scars and variations in the fibrous inner surface of genuine leather are normal and are not processed further. ◎ Slight discoloration on the first and last inner pages due to contact with the leather is normal. ◎ The products are entirely hand-stitched, and the paper is cut one sheet at a time with a blade. Those seeking absolute perfection should refrain from purchasing. ◆ International Shipping ◆ Due to the complexity of international shipping costs, which vary based on item size, quantity, and weight, please inquire about international shipping fees before purchasing.
