Limited Edition Distressed Leather Journals with Amalfi Paper
Only a limited number of these distressed leather journals feature Amalfi paper Imported from the Amalfi coast. JournalShelf's handmade papers come from the world-renowned Amalfi paper mills. Located in the southern region of Italy on the Gulf of Salerno, 24 miles southeast of Naples, Amalfi is a beautiful town and a popular destination for travelers.

Filled with JournalShelf's most exclusive paper, these distressed leather journals feature hand-torn edges and a rough, deeply toothed surface perfectly suited for writing, sketching, painting or mounting photographs. Amalfi paper is considerably thicker than normal writing paper.

Each page feels like stiff, thick fabric. As they are assembled the amalfi paper pamphlets are individually watermarked before being hand sewn into the original binding.

Journal Care
Caring for your Italian leather journal is easy. To increase your journal's shine, using a cloth, rub a dab of leather oil, shoe polish, hand cream or moisturizer into the cover. Your Italian leather journal will preserve beautifully. Let it dry before stacking it with other books. Be careful not to stain your pages with the oil.

In some cases your Italian leather journal was hand treated and dyed. Some of the pigment used in the dyeing process may come off as you apply the oil. This does not harm the journal in any way. You will notice an increased luster to the Italian leather cover.
