Devonport Key Journal

A hand-bound wrap journal in dark full-grain leather, closed with a long leather tie and an antique brass skeleton key.

The cover is cut from a single piece of oiled leather with a curved fore-edge flap that folds across the front. A long strap winds around the journal and passes through a riveted leather keeper, where an ornate brass key hangs as the closure — part charm, part fastening. The leather is left uncorrected, so the scuffs and tonal shifts on each cover are its own, and it deepens and softens with handling.

Inside, thick handmade paper in warm parchment tone with torn deckled edges, stitched into the spine with exposed leather cord. Unlined throughout, so it suits writing, sketching and pressed keepsakes equally.
