There’s nothing quite like the weight and feel of high-quality leather in your hands. Join Montreal-based writer and content creator Gelsey Latonio and leather artisan Jonah Levy of West End Paper Company to build and customize your very own trifold leather journal cover—a timeless style made popular by Paper Republic and Carmen Louise.
In this immersive 3-hour workshop, you’ll assemble and personalize an A5 trifold leather journal, available in five classic hues: black, brown, green, blue, and red. We provide the charms, studs, letter stamping, and tools needed to make your new heirloom feel uniquely yours. To wrap up the experience, Gelsey will lead a mini writing workshop so you can immediately break in your new leather keepsake.
Whether you are documenting travels or archiving daily thoughts, this journal is designed to age intentionally, developing a unique patina that carries your story for years to come.
