Our Diaries
“A diary is more than a record of days; it is a place to gather a life in passing lines, to hold thoughts, journeys and reflections in ink.”
At Leathersmith, a diary is not simply a way to organise time, but a way to give it shape. It becomes a quiet keeper of moments: appointments and ambitions, beginnings and returns. Always there to be opened again.
Each diary takes its name from a place in London, with colours drawn from the city itself: deep navy, racing green, burgundy and black, shades shaped by heritage, light and season. The leather becomes a reflection of place, and in carrying it, you make it your own.
Bound in Rutland leather or fine calfskin, and finished with gilt edges, ribbon markers and signature detailing, each diary is crafted to hold a year, and the many stories that unfold within it.

Week-To-View
Our Week-to-View diaries offer a clear sense of perspective. Each opening reveals the rhythm of seven days at a glance, balancing structure with space for notes, reminders and intentions. Designed for those who plan thoughtfully, it keeps the whole week in view, where each page becomes a composed chapter of the year.
Other Diaries
Beyond the Week-to-View, our diaries invite different ways of experiencing time. Some offer a page per day for thoughts to unfold, others span five years, quietly tracing change and return. Larger desk formats bring a sense of presence to planning, each one created not just to measure time, but to witness it.
Diary Covers & Refills
Our diary covers and refills are designed for continuity and renewal. The leather cover remains, softening and evolving with time, while each new refill marks the beginning of another year. It is a quiet balance, preserving what endures while making space for what is yet to be written.
Our Notebooks & Journals
“Some pages gather the world as it happens. Others are made to hold it still.”
At Leathersmith, our notebooks and journals are shaped by British craftsmanship and a deep connection to place. Each piece takes its name from a London landmark or neighbourhood, with colours drawn from the city itself: black, burgundy, racing green, navy and other considered hues.
Bound in Rutland leather, calfskin or textured finishes, and filled with our lightweight paper, each is designed to carry thoughts with clarity and ease. Notebooks capture ideas in motion; journals invite a slower pause. Together, they reflect the quiet luxury and enduring character of Leathersmith.

Notebooks
At Leathersmith, a notebook is made to move with you. It slips into a pocket or rests beside you, ready to capture observations, ideas and fleeting thoughts before they fade.
Named after places across London, each reflects the city through colour and character. Crafted in Rutland leather or traditional bindings, and finished with gilt edges, ribbon markers and our signature paper, they balance refinement with everyday use.
Made to be carried, opened often, and filled without hesitation, where ideas begin.
Journals
“To write is to make sense of the moment, to hold it long enough to understand it.”
A Leathersmith journal is a quiet ritual. A place to return to your thoughts, to reflect, plan or simply pause. Over time, its pages become a record not only of ideas, but of growth.
Inspired by London’s streets and landmarks, each journal is crafted in fine leather and filled with our signature azure paper, offering space for structure or freedom. Finished with gilt edges and subtle detailing, they are designed to be kept close and returned to often.
Because some journeys unfold across cities, and others across a page.
Notebook & Journal Covers/Refills
Some covers are made to last. The pages within are made to begin again.
Our refillable notebook and journal covers are crafted in Rutland leather, designed to age and evolve over time. Inside, a curated range of refills, from classic azure pages to printed designs, allows you to renew the pages while preserving the cover.
It is a quiet balance: keep what endures, and begin again.
Our Refills & Stationery
“The smallest pages often hold the most enduring moments.”
At Leathersmith, stationery is the quiet framework of everyday life, where thoughts are captured, friendships recorded and ideas first take shape. From refillable covers to address books and jotters, each piece is crafted to hold the details that matter.
In a world that moves quickly, these objects offer something more enduring: a place where memory, intention and connection are written by hand and kept close.

Covers & Refills
Some things are meant to stay. Others are meant to begin again.
Our refillable covers are crafted in Rutland leather to age and evolve over time, while fresh pages slip seamlessly into place. From classic azure inserts to printed designs, each refill preserves the clarity and refinement of our paper.
A simple ritual: keep the cover, renew the pages, and let the story continue.
Address Books
“An address book is never just names and numbers. It is a record of who has walked beside you, and when.”
Writing a name by hand carries meaning. An address book becomes a quiet archive of connection: friends, families, and moments shared.
Bound in fine leather and thoughtfully arranged, each one is designed to be returned to over time. In a world that updates and deletes, it remains steady, holding the story of having known someone.
Social Stationery
“A well-lived life is written in names, in introductions made, birthdays remembered, tables set and glasses raised.”
Our Social Stationery is created for those who value connection. From birthdays and guest lists to shared tables and remembered evenings, each page gathers the people who shape your world.
Bound in Rutland leather and filled with our signature paper, these books bring structure to social life while preserving what matters most: memory.
Jotters
There is a quiet power in jotting things down; a thought, an idea, a detail worth keeping.
Our leather jotters are made for moments in between. Small enough to carry, ready at hand, they capture what might otherwise be lost.
Simple, practical, and refined, they are places where ideas begin, before they know what they will become.
Our Special Collections
“When a book is first bound, every copy appears the same. The moment it is opened, it begins to change.”
Our Special Collections are shaped by a deep respect for traditional bookmaking and the quiet beauty of objects made by hand. These projects allow us to explore craftsmanship at its most considered, drawing on historic techniques where every detail reflects a heritage that has endured for centuries.
Collections such as St Paul’s and Bonfield are not simply products, but tributes to the art of the book itself. Inspired by architecture, history and traditional binding, they celebrate the relationship between hand, material and page.
In a world of speed and automation, they honour something slower and more enduring: the belief that craftsmanship and human touch give an object its true value, and that once opened, every book begins its own story.

St Paul's Collection
Inspired by the great cathedrals and historic cities of Britain, the St Paul’s Collection pays tribute to the enduring art of traditional bookbinding.
Drawing from the craftsmanship of early hymn books and bibles, each piece is bound in soft Montana grain calf leather, with hand-turned edges, art-gilded pages and rich ivory paper. When gently fanned, a deep red under-gilding reveals itself beneath the gold, a subtle detail rooted in historic techniques.
Named after cities such as Canterbury, Salisbury, Bath, Worcester and Chichester, each book carries a quiet reference to its place, connecting it to a landscape shaped by architecture, faith and time.
Timeless in character, the collection is crafted with reverence for the past, yet made to accompany the thoughts and ideas of the present.
Bonfield Collection
Rooted in a shared appreciation for tradition and craftsmanship, the collaboration between Bonfield Block-Printers and Leathersmith of London brings together print and binding in a considered collection.
Featuring three exclusive designs — Bloodlines, Ode to the Ash and Varx — each piece combines hand block-printed imagery with refined leather detailing. Heavy board covers, creamy 100gsm paper and Indigo Press printing evoke an old-world character while remaining versatile for modern use.
Created for writers, artists and creatives, the collection is a quiet celebration of enduring artistry, where print, paper and craftsmanship meet.
Croc Collection
Defined by texture and statement colour, the Croc Collection brings a bold expression to classic leather goods. Crafted in croc-embossed leather, each piece reveals intricate, scale-like patterns created through precision embossing, offering a distinctive, tactile finish with lasting durability.
Rich tones and lustrous surfaces enhance the depth of the material, creating pieces that feel both striking and timeless. Designed to stand out while enduring everyday use, the collection reflects a balance of craftsmanship, character and modern elegance.
The collection highlights the craftsmanship of croc-embossed leather, where pattern, colour and finish come together to create pieces with lasting character.
Geometric Collection
Rooted in the architectural language of London and the precision of British design, the Geometric Collection explores the balance between structure and expression. Inspired by the clean symmetry of urban lines, the order of Victorian patterns, and the bold rhythm of Art Deco, each design transforms simple forms into something quietly dynamic.
Triangles and repeating shapes create a sense of movement and harmony, while the considered palette reflects the Leathersmith world, deep blues, rich burgundies, warm earth tones and contrasting accents. The result is a pattern that feels both modern and timeless: structured yet expressive, graphic yet refined.
These designs bring together clarity, craftsmanship and character, where geometry becomes a language through which colour and form are given purpose.
Our Scarves
Let us begin with a story, because at Leathersmith, everything we make is guided by journey, intention, and the way objects become part of everyday life.
Our scarves are made for the modern wanderer, moving through cities, seasons and moments with curiosity. Designed for women and men alike, they are not defined by category, but by feeling. Each scarf is created to travel with you, to be worn your way, and to become unmistakably yours.
More than an accessory, it is something you reach for instinctively, on early mornings, late nights, journeys and returns. The design may be ours, but the story belongs to you.
Crafted in small batches in India, each piece reflects a focus on colour, texture and character, made to be worn often, styled freely, and carried through time.

Embroidered Scarves
“Nature begins the canvas; the hand completes the embroidery.”
Our embroidered scarves celebrate the quiet beauty of craftsmanship. Soft cotton and wool form the base, onto which delicate floral patterns are stitched by hand, as if growing from the fabric itself.
Colours are drawn from nature: soft lilacs, earthy rusts, wild oat tones and deep greens. Each stitch adds depth and texture, lifting the fabric with subtle movement.
No two pieces are ever the same. Each carries the small variations of the artisan’s hand, making every scarf quietly unique.
Printed Scarves
“Pattern is where colour finds its voice.”
Our printed scarves bring together colour, pattern and movement in a fluid blend of wool and silk. Patchwork compositions, florals, geometric forms and heritage motifs unfold like visual storytelling.
From Persian blues to vibrant oranges and earthy greens, each palette adds energy and character. Some designs echo traditional textiles, while others reflect the graphic language of the Leathersmith world.
Lightweight yet expressive, they transform even the simplest outfit, a small piece that carries bold personality.
Textured Wool Scarves
“A scarf is like a brushstroke of warmth: it carries comfort with you, while transforming the everyday.”
Our textured wool scarves offer a softness that feels almost like air. Woven from natural wool and gently washed, they rest lightly while providing warmth and comfort.
Solid colours unfold like pure pigment, forest green, deep black, soft cream, vivid orange, enriched by the subtle texture of the weave. The result is depth without complexity.
Instinctive and effortless, they are the piece you reach for without thinking, a quiet, everyday luxury.
Cotton Scarves
A scarf can be a marker of place, a trace of where you have been.
Our cotton scarves are light, breathable and versatile, moving easily through seasons. Softly woven and finished with delicate frayed edges, they carry a relaxed, effortless elegance.
Each colour draws from nature: deep blues of water, earthy rusts, soft greens and calm stone tones. Worn at the neck, over the shoulders or by the sea, they adapt to every moment, carrying with them a quiet sense of travel.
Bags
“A well-made bag should travel with you, not only across places, but through the different moments of your day.”
At Leathersmith, our bags are designed for those who move with purpose, between work and travel, city streets and distant departures. They carry the essentials of daily life while adapting effortlessly to its rhythm.
From structured briefcases and messenger bags to crossbody styles, backpacks and weekend holdalls, each design balances practicality with understated elegance. Crafted in supple calfskin, croc-grained leather or durable canvas with leather trim, every bag is shaped to work with you, with thoughtful compartments, comfortable carry and enduring materials.
Gunmetal hardware, tension-stitched handles and refined detailing reflect the craftsmanship that defines the Leathersmith world. These are bags made to move easily from office to journey, from routine to departure.
Because the best bag is not simply carried, it becomes part of the way you move through the day.
Accessories
“What we carry says something about how we move through the world.”
Our accessories collection brings the Leathersmith philosophy into the everyday. Crafted in fine Rutland leather and supple calfskin, in a palette that echoes our notebooks and diaries, these pieces are designed to travel with you, in hand, in pocket, in bag.
They are the details that complete a rhythm: colours that complement, textures that age beautifully, forms that balance practicality with refinement. From structured wallets to elegant cases, each accessory is created to accompany the lifestyle that surrounds our stationery: considered, organised, and quietly distinctive.
Because what you carry should feel as intentional as what you write.

Wallets & Cardholders
“Carry your most important intentions close.”
Our wallets and cardholders are designed for clarity and ease: streamlined silhouettes crafted to hold what matters most. Cards, notes, receipts, small essentials: each finds its place within soft-grained leather that grows richer with time.
Available in classic and contemporary hues, these pieces are made to slip effortlessly into daily life: refined in form, purposeful in function, and subtly expressive in colour.
Other Accessories
“The smallest things are often the ones that stay closest to us.”
Some objects quietly follow you through the years, a coin purse in your pocket, a glasses case beside your notebook, a deck of cards opened as the evening lingers. They become part of your rhythm, carried, used, and returned to without thought.
Our leather accessories are shaped by this idea. Crafted in fine calfskin and distinctive textures, each piece balances purpose with presence, designed for everyday use yet made to endure.
In a palette rooted in heritage, they extend the Leathersmith story beyond the page, into how you move, gather and live.
