Product description
This journal is a 7.5 × 5.5 in leather-bound diary. A dark forest-green cover is laced through the spine with brown cord. The same cord wraps the book and finishes with a decorative antique-bronze vintage key charm. Inside are about 320 unruled kraft pages.
The key is a wrap charm, not a working lock. Leather shade, grain, and cord wrapping vary from piece to piece.
Use it as a writing journal, sketchbook, travel diary, or guest book. It is stationery, not a consecrated ritual book.
Handmade production means slight variation in dyeing, lacing, and page edges. That variation is expected.
Sourced in India and offered by Altus Exports as a finished retail journal. Suitable as a housewarming or festival gift, a bookstore stationery SKU, or a small cultural object for hospitality.

- 1 handmade dark-green leather journal, approx. 19.1 × 14.0 × 4.0 cm, about 320 unruled kraft pages

- The vintage key is a decorative wrap charm, not a working lock.
The craft
The Story Behind Rajasthan Leather Stationery
Udaipur and Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India, are well-known for leather-bound journals. Binders cut, dye, and lace leather covers; paper workshops nearby still supply kraft and handmade sheets for diaries and gift books sold worldwide.
This journal sits in that vocabulary: a dark-green cover, a cord-laced spine, a vintage key wrap, and a 7.5-inch export scale suited to gift shops, bookstores, and travel retail.

What Buyers Say
How commercial buyers describe the handmade sample journal.
“The green leather and vintage key read immediately as a gift object. Three hundred and twenty pages is a stronger story than a thin souvenir notebook.”
— Importer, USA
“Customers pick it up for the colour, then stay for the cord wrap. It sits well next to the brown A5 key journal without duplicating it.”
— Stationery Retailer, UK
“Clear Rajasthan craft story without overclaiming. We placed it as the travel-size counterpart to the wrap diary.”
— Museum Shop Buyer, France
“Right scale for a gift table. The key charm is a nice touch, and the packing arrived intact.”
— Hotels & Resorts Buyer, UAE
“Useful as a single accent — forest green, a wrap cord, kraft pages. Slight grain variation is exactly what you want in handmade stationery.”
— Lifestyle Buyer, Australia
