This mini leather sketchbook cover was created for artists, travelers, and creative people who like to keep their ideas close at hand. Designed for A6 landscape sketchbooks and journals, it combines a compact format with a thoughtful inner layout, so your notebook, pencil, and small essentials stay together in one elegant place.

This model was developed for the 2025 Christmas season as a compact and meaningful piece for everyday creativity. It was designed as a practical gift and a functional companion for sketching, note-taking, and collecting thoughts on the go. Small enough to travel easily and complete enough for daily use, it brings together portability, organization, and a warm handcrafted character.

The exterior and interior are made from crazy horse leather, giving the cover a rich natural look, a soft vintage feel, and a surface that becomes even more beautiful with time and use. Inside, the zip pencil case is made from calf velour leather, adding a soft contrast in texture while helping keep small tools neatly stored and protected.

The layout was created especially for horizontal A6 sketchbooks. Inside, there is a zip pencil case for small essentials, a pencil loop for your main drawing tool, and a clean interior structure that helps keep everything organized. The cover closes with a single strap and a sturdy screw closure, making it reliable for everyday carrying in a bag, backpack, or travel tote.

We use top-grain calf leather and carefully select it for each type of product. Where strength and structural stability are needed, we choose denser sections of the leather. Where elasticity, softness, and a more natural texture matter, we use more flexible parts of the material.

For example, we cut leather desk pads along the upper line of the hide, which is usually flatter and more even. Rolls, on the other hand, are cut along the lower line of the hide, which is more elastic and often has a more interesting natural texture. This approach allows us to combine aesthetics, functionality, and durability in the right way.

For corporate orders, we can also offer a wider range of calf leather depending on the requirements of a particular project and the needs of the brand.

Since leather is a natural material, each product has its own unique characteristics. The shade, texture, density, and surface character may vary slightly from what you see in the photos. This is part of the value of genuine leather — every изделие preserves the living character of the material and its natural uniqueness.

Any personalization shown in the photos in our listings, including logos, names, initials, or text, is provided for demonstration purposes only. By default, we sell our products without personalization. If you would like to add your own logo, name, or text, please leave your request in the Comment field during checkout.

In many cases, we can complete laser engraving directly at the warehouse and ship the order on the same day, so this usually does not affect the dispatch time. If embossing with a metal die is required, the work is completed in our workshop in Ukraine, so delivery usually takes about 9 days instead of 1–3 days for orders shipped from our warehouse in the USA.

If the personalization includes the customer’s logo, our designer first prepares a digital mockup for approval. For wholesale and corporate orders, we also produce the first item from the batch as a sample, approve it separately, and only after the second approval do we proceed with the full production run.

If the order is shipped from Ukraine, we independently pay all customs duties and mandatory charges regardless of the destination country, so the customer does not face additional costs or difficulties when receiving the parcel.
