If you have any questions, Steffi will advise you on the possibilities and guide you through the process.

3. Sit back and relax. We will keep you updated about the making of your new companion and when it will arrive.

The entire process usually takes around 4-6 weeks.

what can I personalise?

You can choose any leather colour & product from our catalogue and use it as a starting point for your design.

From there you can customise the: colour combinations, shape, size and thread stitching colour, or tell us if you want anything extra. You can also request something which isn't currently available on our website and we will assess if this is possible.

Product sustainability

All our leather products are handmade in our workshop in Vienna using the finest quality, vegetable-tanned vachetta leather. Our leather comes from a family-run tannery in Tuscany, Italy and is certified by the "Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium (Pelle al Vegetale)". The leather is tanned using only natural raw materials in a traditional and eco-friendly process. No chrome is used in the tanning process.

In our commitment to sustainability, we actively work to minimise overproduction. As a result, certain products may temporarily appear as out of stock. Thank you for joining us in creating a more sustainable future.
 
We use solely acid-free, FSC and PEFC-certified paper made in traditional paper mills in Europe. All our notebooks are printed in Vienna with eco-friendly, vegetable-based inks.
