Pocket (Mini 6-Hole) Organiser Refillable Notebook with Leather Hinge - Red

This refillable notebook opens with a unique hinge crafted from leather and thread. It is the Mini 6-hole (Pocket) size, designed for 127x80mm 6-hole paper refills. The distinctive leather hinge is a result of our proprietary crafting method. It involves intricate cutting and shaping, followed by meticulous hand-carving of each 'tooth' to ensure a precise fit. The hinge offers more than just a unique aesthetic. It allows the notebook to lay perfectly flat, preventing it from closing unexpectedly due to creases. The areas that flex during opening and closing are also less prone to wear and tear. The material is a substantial 2mm thick Tochigi leather, a vegetable-tanned cowhide renowned for its beautiful aging process. The smooth, lustrous grain is characteristic of aniline-finished leather. The Mini 6-hole size is appreciated for its compact form. We have made it as small as possible, so please confirm the dimensions to ensure it suits your needs. With a 15mm ring diameter, it comfortably holds around 100 sheets of refill paper. We've included 50 sheets of our preferred 'etranger di costarica Memory Refill SREF-G-01' 5mm grid paper to get you started right away. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that both new users and experienced enthusiasts can begin using their notebook without delay. We encourage you to personalize your notebook by combining it with a variety of commercially available refills, diaries, indexes, and clear pockets to create a truly unique organiser. For maintenance, use a delicate cream sparingly. As this notebook experiences less stress than items like bags or shoes, the natural oils from your hands are often sufficient. Over-application of leather creams or oils is best avoided. The metal rings are screw-mounted for easy replacement should they ever become damaged. We hope you enjoy the rich patina that develops with time and use. [About Tochigi Leather] Tochigi Leather is a premium cowhide that retains the natural markings of the animal, such as pores and vein lines, and carries a faint, pleasant aroma when brought close. This leather is tanned by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd. in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, transforming raw hides into high-quality leather. Using traditional vegetable tanning methods with mimosa bark extract, without harsh chemicals, their time-honored 20-step process, passed down since their founding in 1937, results in this exceptional cowhide. The natural grain of Tochigi Leather is highly regarded not only within Japan but also by leading international apparel manufacturers.
