Personalization

Personalizing your journal can help you to create a theme and enhance the memories you’ll be preserving in it. Gallery Leather offers several different color and text options that fit any style. By including the recipient’s initials or adding a message to a journal, you create a meaningful gift that will be cherished for years to come.

caring for your leather

Caring for Your Leather

Leather is a beautiful, durable material when cared for properly. Our bonded leather is best cared for through normal handling. Your hands provide the natural oils that nourish most leather. Our bonded leather is tanned specifically with special oils that replace the need to apply any creams or waxes. For normal dirt and spills, use a soft washcloth dampened with lukewarm water and some sort of mild detergent. Once clean, dry your leather with a clean towel. Do not use alcohol, cleaning solvents, oils, varnishes, or polishes. Avoid extreme temperatures.

    Love of my life! 8 people found this helpful
    I love this journal. I've been using one every year for 25 years. The size, the line spacing, and the paper quality are the best, and such a joy to write on. There is nothing like a leather covered book, and the ribbon book mark is the frosting on the cake. I tried to keep a regular journal many times in my life, but all the wonderful aspects of this book are what really kept me to the habit. Oh, and don't forget the gold edges, and rounded corners. Those little things make this volume a place where daily trifles are made special.
