each of our journals is handcrafted with a deep love for the art of journaling and made using high-quality, ethically sourced leather and supplies. we include thoughtful details like charms, personalized stamping, and gift wrapping at no extra cost because we believe your journal should feel as special as the thoughts and memories you’ll fill it with.

this all began as a personal hobby, and honestly, i never intended to turn it into a business. but after so many kind stationery lovers encouraged me to share my work, i decided to start offering them for sale. i don’t aim to make much profit, this is truly a passion project. creating these journals brings me joy, and my greatest hope is that they make you feel seen, valued, and inspired.

that said, i understand $100+ isn’t affordable for everyone. if you’re a student, going through a tough time financially, or simply can’t swing it right now, please don’t hesitate to reach out. i offer payment plans and would be honored to work with you to create a journal that fits your budget.

at quixotically, i believe your journal should be as unique as you are. that’s why my leather journals are fully customizable; from leather to elastic cord, grommets, and even the little finishing touches. you get to choose every detail, so your journal feels truly personal.

i also include extras like stamping, charms, and back up cord at no additional cost, because i don’t believe in charging extra for the little things that make your journal yours.

to me, you're not just a customer, you’re a friend. and i put heart into every journal i make, just for you.

my leather is sourced from usa suppliers. we have both italian and usa leather available. please reach out if you have any specific questions about the leather i source.

leather is a beautiful, natural material, so you might notice slight variations in color, gentle marks, and unique textures. these are all part of what makes each piece special.

with regular use, your journal will develop its own character through soft shaping, little scratches, and a rich patina that tells your story. every journal is lovingly made by hand, using simple tools, no machines or mass production, so you may find small, human touches that reflect the care and craftsmanship behind it.

to care for your journal, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. if it does get wet, simply lay it flat and let it air dry naturally. the natural oils from your hands will help the leather age beautifully, but if it ever feels dry, a little leather balm can be gently applied and buffed to restore its glow.

enjoy the journey with your journal, it’s made to be a lasting companion.
