There is something magical about holding a beautifully bound notebook or opening your favorite book wrapped in genuine leather. At ArtnBooks, my mission has always been to encourage more reading and writing—transforming everyday moments into lasting rituals. Today, I’m thrilled to showcase four new creations: three distinct notebook covers and a versatile book jacket, each carefully handmade from premium Italian leather.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these products special, and how they can enrich your daily routines.
Notice: some designs are only available for a pre-sale.
1. The Classic Envelope Notebook Cover
With a nod to vintage correspondence, this deep purple envelope-style cover combines elegance and whimsy. The pointed flap tucks in securely, fastened by a double-button string closure featuring a playful cat motif. Hand-stitched with precision, every detail is calibrated for both protection and personality. Whether you’re journaling at your desk or out at a café, your notebook stays safe and stylish. I will post more photo's after finishing the hand stitching.
Features:
- Luxurious Italian leather in classic purple
- Unique double-button cat closure with wraparound string
- Handmade with reinforced edges
- Great fit for A5 or B6 notebooks
2. The Minimalist Red Book Jacket
For the purists, this minimalist red book jacket is all about clean lines and unbeatable utility. Its clever design snugly wraps around your book of choice and secures with a durable black elastic band. Slide your favorite novel inside, toss the jacket into your bag, and never worry about bent covers or torn pages again. The smooth Italian leather exterior not only looks stunning but ages beautifully with use.
Features:
- Supple, richly colored Italian leather
- Sleek, button-free silhouette
- Fits most standard mass paperback of various thickness
3. The Modern Hex Notebook Cover
Bold, contemporary, and practical, this notebook cover features a distinctive hexagonal pocket stitched right onto the rich purple Italian leather. Every seam is hand-stitched for strength and durability, while the geometric pocket offers quick access to notes or cards. The cover’s sturdy build protects your notebook and feels luxurious in your hands—perfect for writers, students, or anyone who appreciates a splash of color alongside timeless craftsmanship. I don't want to sell this as my own design because I use someone else's design on Pinterest as reference.
Features:
- Genuine Italian full-grain leather in vibrant purple
- Unique hex pocket for cards or essentials
- Robust, even hand-stitching throughout
- Ideal for A5 or similarly-sized notebooks
4. The Italian Leather Traveler Notebook
Balancing sophistication and versatility, this deep red notebook wrap is perfect for those who want their covers effortlessly functional. Its design lets you quickly remove or replace the notebook inside, while robust elastic band and thick leather provides long-lasting strength. The vibrant leather finish draws the eye, ensuring your notes and ideas are always housed in style. I am considering making a deep violet version.
Features:
- Premium thick Italian leather
- Flexible “wrap” fit for a variety of notebook sizes
- Durable, extra thick elastic band that holds everything in place
- Elegant, understated design that only improves with age
Why Handmade Leather?
Every piece in the ArtnBooks line is made by hand, one stitch at a time, with careful attention to detail. I use only Italian leather for its remarkable strength, subtle scent, and buttery feel—plus its ability to develop gorgeous character over the years. Each cover and jacket is built to last and designed to bring tactile joy every time you open your book or notebook.
