Hand-crafted from Pueblo leather, sourced from the prestigious Italian tannery Badalassi Carlo. The Castleton begins with a unique, slightly coarse matte texture. With every use, the leather transforms, naturally polishing its fibres to develop a rich, smooth patina that darkens in tone and reflects your unique history.

How it's made
The Castleton is made from 3 cuts of Badalassi Carlo Pueblo, two large pieces for the inside and outside, then a third for the inner leaf. After trimming, bevelling and burnishing the leather, I then punch the stitch holes using a French pricking iron. I then saddle-stitch the journal using 0.8mm Tiger Thread, which is then hammered down to reduce the profile of the stitch.

Natural Leather Characteristics
Natural Leather Characteristics
- The colour of your leather piece may differ slightly from what you see on your screen.
- Due to the dyeing process, the colour may vary slightly depending on the area of the leather.
- As full-grain leather undergoes minimal processing, natural wrinkles may remain visible and their patterns can vary from piece to piece.
- With natural leather, some blemishes are to be expected, though I always do my best to keep these to a minimum.
