Product description
This journal is an A5 leather wrap diary. A distressed-brown cover folds around about 200 unruled handmade deckle-edge pages. A leather strap wraps the book and tucks through a riveted loop, finished with a decorative antique-bronze key charm.
The paper is plain (unruled) with a rough deckle edge. It is a writing and sketching journal, not a lined school notebook. The key is a wrap charm, not a working lock.
Leather shade, pull-up marks, and page-edge irregularity vary from piece to piece. That variation is expected on a handmade distressed finish.
Sourced in India and offered by Altus Exports as a finished retail journal. Suitable as a travel diary, a wedding or guest book alternative, a corporate writing gift, or a bookstore stationery SKU.

- 1 handmade leather wrap journal, approx. 20.3 × 15.2 × 3.8 cm, about 200 unruled pages
- Protective inner packing
- Leather shade and deckle edges vary slightly from piece to piece.

The craft
The Story Behind Handmade Paper Journals
Handmade paper in Rajasthan is associated with Sanganer, near Jaipur — cotton-rag sheets formed on a deckle, dried, and bound into stationery. Leather wrap journals take that paper and cover it in distressed hide with a strap closure.
This export journal carries that language onto an A5 diary: about 200 unruled deckle-edge pages, a distressed-brown leather wrap, and a decorative antique-bronze key charm. Packed in India for international gift and stationery collections. It is handmade stationery, not a locked safe and not a GI-authorised paper claim.

What Buyers Say
How commercial buyers describe the handmade sample journal.
“The key charm sells the story before anyone opens it. Staff can explain deckle-edge paper in one sentence.”
— Importer, USA
“A5 is the size customers already know. Distressed leather variation is a feature, not a complaint, when you say it on the card.”
— Stationery Retailer, UK
“We gift it as a travel journal. Two hundred unruled pages is enough without feeling like a brick.”
— Gift Shop Buyer, France
“Light enough to ship, heavy enough to feel handmade. The wrap holds closed without a real lock.”
— Lifestyle Store Buyer, UAE
“Useful beside home décor SKUs. Slight shade difference from piece to piece is exactly what you want in distressed leather.”
— Bookstore Buyer, Australia
