In My Own Way Quote Leather Journal

In Sense and Sensibility, Edward Ferrars admits what most people feel and few say out loud: “I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” More than two hundred years after Austen published it, the line still reads like permission. It’s debossed on this cover in an ornamental border, with a small key below it. The key fits the idea. Happiness comes without a standard set of instructions, and this journal gives you room to write your own. The 6x8 size and 100 lined pages suit steady writing: what makes a good day, what you’re willing to give up, and what you won’t. Our artisan partners in India, families we’ve worked with for more than a decade, deboss the design and stitch each brown repurposed leather cover. Vegetable dyes shift slightly from batch to batch, so the color and texture of yours are its own. Inside, 120 gsm handmade cotton paper, tree-free and acid-free, is permanently stitched into the spine, and a string tie holds it closed. Same wish as everybody else. Your own way of getting there. What arrives: one 6 x 8 permanently stitched leather journal with 100 lined pages Cover: brown repurposed leather with an In My Own Way quote design, an ornamental border, a key motif, and string-tie closure Paper: 120 gsm handmade cotton paper, which is tree-free material and acid-free Paper Style: lined Binding: permanently stitched; non-refillable Origin: handmade in India Color variation: vegetable-dyed brown can vary slightly by seasonal batch. Slight differences in leather color and texture make each journal unique.
