Texture and Finish
Acadia - Smooth, slightly glossy finish
With a subtle glazed-like, smooth grain, our Acadia bonded leather has a great feel with a slightly glossy finish.
Camden - Slightly textured, matte finish
With a more pronounced and deeper texture, our Camden bonded leather has a great look and feel with a matte finish.
Freeport - Smooth, matte finish
A more subdued leather, our Freeport bonded leather sports a long-grain mixed with pockets of a shorter, more natural grain. Its matte finish enhances a smooth and muted texture that feels wonderful to the touch.
Freeport Metallic - Elegant, smooth, sparkling finish
Our Freeport Metallic leather replaces our simulated leather metallics with expanded colors. Like regular Freeport, it has a long-grain mixed with pockets of a shorter, more natural grain, and its matte finish enhances a smooth and muted texture that feels wonderful to the touch.
Floral - Highly textured, matte finish
Our Floral grain is a unique, highly textured, embossed bonded leather that comes in a swirling, botanical pattern. Black stamping is standard to complete the bold look. Personalization is not available on this grain, but we think you'll love it on its own.
Monhegan - Soft, slightly textured finish
A full-grain leather option that makes every cover unique, displaying the inherent variations of each hide. Monhegan has a natural, luxurious, and plush feel.
Tremont - Soft, slightly textured finish
A full-grain leather option that achieves the look of goatskin. The goat grain is both clearly visible and consistent. Tremont has a soft, thick, and supple feel.
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
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.
Assembled in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA
Craftsmanship is a way of life in Maine, particularly here on the coast and islands that shape Frenchman’s Bay. For over 45 years, Gallery Leather has been part of that rich tradition, handcrafting leather products of exceptional quality. Over the years, we have made leather goods for many of North America's luxury brands, all assembled by hand in Maine and guaranteed to last for generations.

LOVE there's journals and their super high quality 1 people found this helpfulI have been using Gallery Leathers journals for a few years now and I can say they are of the highest quality and plan on using them for years to come!The pages are smooth and thick with gold gilding. The leather is super durable, I take mine everywhere and they still look brand new, and I have never had any of my products from them break or tear even with heavy use. Both hard cover and soft cover work great.I love that they are family owned and American made!10/10 would recommend.

No longer good quality 10 people found this helpfulI’ve been buying these journals for about 10 years. This most recent one is noticeably lower quality. I have only written on 6 pages so far and just took it out of my bag to write and noticed there was glitter on the cover. I looked through my bag to see what could’ve been the cause and found that’s it’s actually the gold edge pages that are already wearing off. This thing has barely had any use and it’s already falling apart. Will never buy this brand again. Way too expensive for subpar quality.
