This compact Olive Green & Brown leather sketchbook organizer for A5 and 8.5 × 5.5 in notebooks is designed for artists, writers, students and travelers who want a lightweight organizer for a notebook and a small set of essential tools.

The main body is made from olive green genuine leather, while brown leather is used for the closures, edging and contrasting details. The Olive Green and Brown combination has a natural, understated character that works well for travel sketching, journaling and everyday use.

For A5 & 8.5 × 5.5 in Notebooks

The organizer fits A5 and approximately 8.5 × 5.5 in sketchbooks, journals and notebooks in a traditional book format or with a side spiral binding.

Unlike our larger artist organizers, this model is designed for one standard notebook format and orientation. This keeps it more compact, lighter and easier to carry every day.

When closed, the organizer measures approximately 7.2 × 9.1 in / 185 × 232 mm.

Double Strap Closure

The main difference in this version is the double leather strap closure instead of a long wrap-around strap.

Two separate brown leather straps fasten over metal studs, giving the organizer a more structured and secure appearance.

This closure is especially convenient for people who prefer a cleaner design and do not want to wrap a long leather strap around the organizer each time it is opened or closed.

For Sketching, Writing & Travel

This model can be used as a compact travel sketchbook organizer or as a leather journal and notebook cover.

Artists can carry an A5 or 8.5 × 5.5 in sketchbook, several colored or graphite pencils and a minimal set of drawing tools.

Writers, students and journal lovers can use the same organizer for a notebook, pens and a few small writing accessories.

Its compact size and lightweight construction make it practical for travel, classes, cafés and everyday carry.

Softer Pencil & Pen Pocket

In the current version of this model, we use softer leather for the pencil and pen pocket.

This makes tools easier to insert and remove while allowing the pocket to adapt more naturally to a small selection of items with different thicknesses.

This construction update makes the organizer more practical and comfortable for regular use.

Minimal Tool Storage

This model is intentionally designed not for a large collection of art supplies, but for a notebook and a small set of essential tools.

The interior works well for several colored or graphite pencils, pens and other compact drawing or writing accessories.

This makes it especially useful for minimalist sketching, journaling, studying and creative work on the go.

Olive Green & Brown Leather

Olive Green is the primary color of this version, while darker brown details create a natural contrast across the closures, edging and interior elements.

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

These variations are normal characteristics of real leather and give each organizer its own individual appearance.

Complimentary Notebook & 12 Colored Pencils

Each organizer comes with a complimentary notebook and 12 colored pencils.

This allows it to be used immediately after arrival and makes the organizer convenient as a ready-to-give present for an artist, child, student, writer or creative traveler.

The notebook and 12 pencils are complimentary gifts and are not included in the price of the leather organizer itself.

Personalization

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

Personalization turns it into a practical everyday accessory or a thoughtful gift made for a specific person.

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

Gift for Artists, Writers & Travelers

This Olive Green & Brown leather organizer for A5 and 8.5 × 5.5 in notebooks is a practical gift for artists, writers, journal lovers, students, children, designers and creative travelers.

It also works well as a personalized gift for birthdays, graduation, Christmas and other special occasions.

The combination of A5 and 8.5 × 5.5 in compatibility, compact size, softer tool pocket, double strap closure, personalization and complimentary notebook-and-pencil set makes this model a practical alternative to a larger artist organizer.

It is designed for people who want to keep a notebook and only their most essential drawing or writing tools close at hand without unnecessary bulk.

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.
