Hand-sewn leather journal kit
Brand: WUTA
Semi-finished material kit for a ring-bound journal made of full-grain or vintage frosted cowhide; develops a patina over time.
Features
- Golden brown and forest green. Package includes 8 pre-cut and pre-punched leather pieces, a gift tool set, and 1 set of refill paper; must be hand-stitched.
- For daily journaling and as a handcrafted gift. 6 different refill paper types are available; once the first paper runs out, refills are purchased separately.
- The source offers a custom text/logo stamping service: select Custom Text (Logo) and submit details to shopify@wutaleather.com. A variance of approximately ±1–2 cm is possible with manual cutting.
- In the semi-finished kit images the finished notebook is 190 × 130 × 20 mm; in the kraft pattern image it is listed as 190 × 125 × 20 mm. The kit comes with pre-cut/pre-punched leather and accessories, with the image showing difficulty level 0. For the kraft pattern, difficulty is one star, presented as suitable for beginners with the instructions.
- In the pictured kit, alongside the 8 leather pieces there is also a ring binder mechanism, refill paper, three straight needles, thread, thread scissors and a glue pot. Exact tool dimensions and glue volume are not labeled. The kraft pattern and the semi-finished kit should be treated as separate options.
- The refill paper table lists 7 types in A6: 5 colored index dividers, 5 sheets; a single card sleeve, 1 sheet; blank 45, dotted 45, grid 45, lined 45 sheets; English budget card, 12 sheets. The text says 6 types, while another general image calls the finished notebook A5. The table does not prove that all types are included together in every set.
- Tools needed per the pattern image: white leather glue, Tokonole, a titanium leather punch, sandpaper, an edge finishing agent, a round stitching punch, an edge creaser and a blackwood burnisher. The sequence shown is marking the stitch line, punching, stitching, sealing and finishing the edge; a video tutorial is also shown.
- The leather surface is described as medium-firm with a lightly sanded feel. A simple strap closure, pen slot and thickened inner sheets are shown. Application examples are travel notes, diary, planner and sketching; suitable refill paper should be chosen for different uses.
- Natural leather pieces may have scratches, scars, natural grain, small holes and wrinkles. The source states to contact the seller in case of quality concerns. The general natural-marks image refers to vegetable-tanned leather, but the kit's own specification does not separately confirm the exact tanning method.
