Navy Leather Sketchbook | 140gsm all-media cartridge paper

This A5 Leather Sketchbook is hand bound in the finest quality Navy Blue leather that's warm and smooth to the touch, with a subtle, glossy grain. It contains 192 lay-flat pages of 140gsm recycled cartridge paper that's suitable for a variety of art media, and a practical leather thong to keep it securely closed for travel or archiving.

I have lots of ordinary sketchbooks but this one is special. It is both beautiful and useful. A joy to hold and behold. - Jackie, Oxfordshire

Features & Benefits

  • Lay-flat binding. The 15th century Longstitch with Linkstitch binding allows the pages of this sketchbook to stay open on a table, so you don't need a binder clip or weight to use it. And because no glue is used in the binding, you can work right into the gutter of every page.
  • Versatile paper. The 140gsm Seawhites recycled cartridge pages have sufficient body and tooth to work with both wet and dry media, and are finished to withstand an eraser. It makes this sketchbook a practical choice for artists who like to work in a variety of media and techniques, including pencil, ink and watercolour. 
  • Authentically artisan. Traditional hand folded and torn pages and a discrete Colophon on the final page with binding, materials and maker details make this an ideal gift for creatives who value heritage craftsmanship.
  • Archival and practical. A leather thong wraps around the book to keep it securely closed for travel or storage. Leather is naturally hardwearing and the archival binding will never fall apart, not matter how many years this sketchbook accompanies you on your creative adventures. 

"A complete pleasure to use and own, well worth the investment" - Andrew, Plymouth.
