This personalized brown leather sketchbook organizer is designed for artists, sketchers, writers and journal lovers who want to keep a sketchbook and essential creative tools together in one portable setup.

Made from genuine leather in a classic brown tone, it combines a sketchbook cover, pencil storage and compact art tool organization in one handcrafted piece. The organizer is compatible with A5 and approximately 8.5 × 5.5 in sketchbooks and notebooks.

Fits Portrait & Landscape Sketchbooks

One of the most distinctive features of this design is its ability to hold both portrait and landscape sketchbooks or notebooks.

You can use a traditional vertical sketchbook for drawing, journaling and notes, then switch to a horizontal format for panoramic sketches, urban sketching, travel drawing or wider compositions.

This versatility makes the organizer useful for artists who regularly work with more than one notebook orientation.

For A5 & 8.5 × 5.5 in Formats

The organizer is designed for A5 and approximately 8.5 × 5.5 in sketchbooks, journals and notebooks, making it compatible with many popular artist and writing formats.

Its layout keeps the notebook securely positioned while leaving the opposite side available for pencils and small creative tools.

Pencil & Art Tool Storage

The interior includes dedicated leather holders for pencils, pens and compact tools, along with a flap pocket with snap closure for smaller accessories.

It can be used for colored pencils, graphite pencils, pens, markers, an eraser, a small utility knife and other everyday drawing or writing tools.

Instead of carrying a separate pencil case and sketchbook cover, you can keep your core creative setup together in one portable leather artist organizer.

Western-Inspired Decorative Leather Lacing

A signature detail of this model is the decorative leather lacing along the center fold.

This element was developed specifically for the Mureli design and was inspired by decorative details found in western and cowboy clothing and traditional leatherwork.

The lacing is primarily decorative, adding a distinctive handcrafted character to the classic brown leather organizer.

Two Closure Options

This model can be made with two different closure styles:

• a long leather wrap strap that wraps around the organizer;
• two leather straps with screw-on button closures for a more structured appearance.

Both options keep the organizer compact while preserving its handmade leather aesthetic.

Complimentary Sketchbook & 12 Pencils

We include an A5 spiral sketchbook and 12 colored pencils as complimentary gifts from Mureli.

These items are free gifts and are not included in the price of the leather organizer. They simply allow you to start using it immediately. Later, you can replace them with your preferred compatible A5 or 8.5 × 5.5 in notebook or sketchbook.

Personalization

The organizer can be personalized with a name, initials or short text.

Personalization can be placed on a leather name tag or another suitable area depending on the selected design.

Any names or personalized tags shown in the photos are examples only. Your organizer will be personalized according to the information provided with your order.

Natural Genuine Leather

Because this organizer is made from genuine leather, natural grain, markings, texture and color may vary slightly from the photos.

These variations are a normal characteristic of real leather and give every organizer its own individual appearance.

Made for Creative Work Anywhere

This brown leather A5 and 8.5 × 5.5 sketchbook organizer is well suited for sketching, colored pencil drawing, urban sketching, travel drawing, journaling, studying and creative planning.

Its combination of portrait and landscape compatibility, pencil storage, personalization and distinctive western-inspired leather detailing makes it more than a sketchbook cover. It is a compact creative workspace made to travel with you.

At Mureli Workshop, we believe that choosing the right leather is just as important as the craftsmanship itself. We carefully select materials according to each product's purpose, design, and intended use.

For personal accessories and luxury leather goods, we often prioritize natural texture, softness, distinctive character, and the way leather develops over time. For hospitality and commercial products, durability, structural stability, and ease of maintenance may be more important. This is why we work with different types of genuine leather, including natural and polymer-coated finishes.

Before production, we inspect and select suitable leather sections based on their strength, flexibility, texture, and appearance.

For individual custom orders and large corporate projects, we can also source specific leather types, colors, thicknesses, and finishes to match your vision and requirements.

As genuine leather is a natural material, slight variations in color and texture may occur, depending on the leather type and finish.

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.
