Leather Journal with Lock and Key, Romantic diary, Gold decoration, "Purple Dreams"

This journal is bound in purple leather and decorated with gold floral details. I choose a romantic theme and a subtle chromatic harmony, between the purple leather, the gold tooled decoration and the darker violet patina of the antiqued finish I applied to it. This journal is about romance, feelings and beautiful ever lasting memories. The cover has metal brads placed in the corners and a functional lock and key to safely lock it if used as a diary. The brads will allow it to lay flat when open but the surface of the covers will never enter in contact with the table and thus will protect the decoration from scratching.

The book measures 10.2 x 7.3 inches (26 x 18.5 cm). It has 124 pages (248 sides) of Favini Laguna artist paper with parchment finish. This paper is acid free, hand-torn, has 180 gsm and will work for writing and sketching in any media, even watercolor.

The end pages are made of beautiful hand marbled paper. The headbands are hand sewn from gold and purple silk thread.

This journal is as unique as the stories one can tell. I hope it will inspire you and serve you well!
