Hand-crafted from Hunter leather, a pure aniline, oil-rich European steer hide sourced from A&A Crack. Hunter starts with a smooth, flat surface and a mellow, rounded feel in the hand. It’s designed to show use: small marks, scuffs and colour shifts will appear easily as the rich oils move within the grain, softening and blending into a gently distressed patina that deepens over time and turns your everyday writing routine into a record of your own story.
Compatibility
The journal cover is available in two sizes: one designed to fit Moleskine (Large), and another that fits both Leuchtturm1917 (Medium/A5) and Rettacy (A5, 192-page).
Includes
- Branded presentation box
- Sealed thank you note

How it's made
The Tideswell is made from three cuts of Hunter leather: a large outer panel for the cover and two inner leaves to secure the journal. After trimming, bevelling and burnishing the leather, I punch the stitch holes using a French pricking iron. The cover is then saddle-stitched by hand using 0.8mm Tiger Thread, which is lightly hammered to reduce the profile of the stitch.

- Leuchtturm1917 (Medium/A5): Approximately 240mm tall by 340mm wide (when open)

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.
