WELCOME!

Leathersmith of London has a 100-year tradition of fine leather bookbinding. Our diaries, notebooks and journals are created by hand at our specialist book bindery in South East England. At every stage of production, we focus on quality.

We choose the best leather, paper and materials. We use traditional bookbinding techniques and craftsmanship. We add luxury finishing touches, including hot foil blocking, gilt page edges and ribbon markers.

Our 2022 collection of diaries features a bright colour selection of bold apple, capri blue, and sunrise orange, together with our traditional shades of black, red, midnight and damson. They are finished in our traditional Leathersmith of London calf leather with a Rutland grain, and titles blocked in a luxurious gold foil.

New to our range last year was our St. Paul’s collection. Uniquely crafted with a high precision to detail, our inspiration is taken from classic book binding skills and the style from early hymn books and bibles. Lovingly recreated today using the same craftsmanship as in days gone by, it is bound in soft goat skin leather covers with timeless art gilt page edges, printed on lightweight ivory paper with cool grey printed rules, and finished with vivid marbled endpapers. This range comes in a variety of different sized journals and a handy pocket sized diary.

We also introduced our fantastic Mayfair range which offers a colourful choice of A5 Rutland grained refillable leather covers, available with a choice of either a diary or notebook refill.

We love what we do, and our products reflect that.
