Leather Bound Journal

Take your journaling practice to a whole new level with our handmade leather wrap journal covers. Inspired by old-world explorers and poets, these covers bring a sense of ritual and romance to your daily pages. Each piece is crafted from full-grain leather that softens and patinas with time, turning every note into part of the story.


Why Choose a Wrap Journal Cover?

Because it’s not just a cover. It’s a companion.

At Galen Leather, we’ve made and sold thousands of wrap journal covers to writers, travelers, and storytellers around the world. We’re not following a trend—we helped define the category.

These covers are rooted in tradition. No snaps. No zippers. Just leather, hand-cut and burnished, wrapping around your thoughts like a second skin. It’s a design that’s stood the test of time and so have we.

When you hold one, you’ll feel it: the weight, the grain, the care.

And when you write with it, you’ll know: this is how journaling was meant to feel.

These gorgeously crafted journals are made from high quality vegetable tanned leather in our Turkish workshop.
