Handmade Undyed Leather Slim A5 Notebook / Planner Cover



Color/Finish:

Undyed Leather - Not covered Un-dyed leather means, nude leather, with nothing covered up - so they will have some natural range marks, scars, and other blemishes. In other words, they are not processed to make them appear perfect, like something you would get in a department store. When you get your brand new un-dyed vegetable-tanned leather good, it looks a natural color. The hide is effectively naked and so will age and darken with the sun just like your own skin. Aging will develop a rich color and patina. Sun exposure, daily handling, water, and conditioning give natural vegetable tanned leather a rustic look over time.

Stunning craftsmanship

The Slim Cover in Crazy Horse Tan is beautifully made and fits my Hobonichi Cousin perfectly. The delivery by FedEx was super quick - just 2 days to Poland. I'm also grateful for the generous and thoughtful freebies as well. I can't wait to place my next order.

Leather Slim A5 Notebook - Brown

I ordered the A5 slim leather cover in the color brown and honestly could not be happier. I work with designer brand leathers all day including brands like Hermes and I would choose Galen Leather over any other brand every single time. The color is gorgeous and just as rich as I hoped it would be and the construction and leather quality is unmatched for the price. It fits my favorite notebooks perfectly with hardly any fuss or extra room. It genuinely feels so nice to touch and I can't wait to watch the leather age. They even threw in a matching pen sleeve and as an avid fountain pen collector I was over the moon.

Omg this is beautiful.

This undyed cover is gorgeous, a bit darker than expected but beautiful all the same! I’ve had my eye on it for a while and it’s definitely worth the wait and great value too. I’m in the UK and it literally within a couple of days via Fedex which was unexpected 😊

Very nice smooth finish on this cover. Amazing functionality for my two notebook one cover setup.

Each of my three slim covers is a bit different in texture. Each gives a different pleasant feel. This one came surprisingly smooth. I have a single pen sleeve that is also similar to this smooth feel. The fit is perfect for my books. I have managed to fit in a few formats. I like to put in two notebooks. Usually a larger one on the right side and a slimmer one on the left which I use for quick notes. You can fit 2 MD notebooks in this cover. Stalogy 365 and an Apica. These do fit a Mnemosyne ring easily with a small notebook. The picture of the two MD notebooks is in my CH Brown A5.
The penloop is tight for a fountain pen. You can easily just clip the clip. Zebra Sarasa clip pens are very easy to get in and out. The rubber on gel pens to catch which is to be expected.
This was my third Galen order and I find the quality and value exceptional. I highly suggest mixing your color choices.

Functionality meets Elegance

There are slits on the upper and lower part of the cover- so no matter which notebook you use inside nothing gets damaged, because the cover bends perfectly backwards.
No fumbling around, the notebook just slides inside effortlessly.
It also fits a lot: I use Galen Leathers 200 pages Everyday Blank Notebook on one side and a Leuchtturm Jottbook on the other side. But after experiencing the tremendous writing comfort of the Everyday Notebook, I will get some of their slimmer ones to replace the Jottbook.
The penloop is a combination of leather and elastic, which accomodates different pen sizes and what surprised me the most is, that it is not in the way.
Even though the notebook has no closure, it stays perfectly shut.
There are two card slot pockets inside to store some bits and pieces.
Pure joy to use.

Almost perfect!

A beautiful leather sleeve for my Elia Note Tomoe River Paper diary! The leather is thick yet supple, a wonderful green shade, and it fits Din A5 perfectly. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the loop for the pen, which will probably make writing on the last few pages al little difficult, because even if bent outwards you bump against it while writing. Nevertheless I am sure I will order another sleeve for my next diary, and maybe the loop can be left off if I ask for it.

LEATHER SLIM A5 NOTEBOOK COVER - CRAZY HORSE BROWN

This crazy horse brown texture gives a very nice, comfy, and OG leather-themed feel to the overall touch and cover of my notebook/journal! Colour matches the picture displayed on the website too! Will recommend to others who are interested in getting a durable, leather cover for their A5 books :)

WOW! Breathless….

I’ve never really been loyal to any specific brand when it comes to leather products. I’ve tried them all (Moterm, Midori, etc)….until now. Galen is the gold standard, hands down! I was stunned at the speed with which it arrived, the packaging, the communication, and most of all the product. Just. Wow.

This leather is supple, it has been aged and loved, the craftsmanship is stunning. This fit my Hobonichi perfectly. I chose the color to compliment my Moterm apricot planner and it absolutely does. I use the word compliment because the Galen leather is the star of that show. I have included pictures so you can see the comparison.

I will only buy Galen Leather from now on. Stellar! I love your story, I love the craft and art you put into your products and I would give you 10 stars if I could. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air to do business with!
