Recycled A5 Apple Leather Journal — JournalBooks

Also known as: Recycled A5 JournalBooks (Apple Leather) · Recycled A5 JournalBooks Apple Leather · Apple Leather JournalBook A5

Open the cover and there it is — that faint, almost-fruit scent of apple leather, warmer than vinyl, softer than the bonded stuff. Run a thumb across the surface and you'll feel a fine grain that started its life as orchard waste in Northern Italy, now bound around 80 sheets of recycled FSC paper that takes ink without bleeding through. The elastic sits flush. The ribbon falls where it should.

This is the journal that ends up on a creative director's desk and stays there. Not in the drawer with the trade-show pens — on the desk, beside the coffee, slowly filling with meeting notes and half-formed ideas. Branded with a quiet deboss into the apple leather, your logo reads as something the recipient chose, not something they were given. The pen loop holds a Lamy. The back pocket swallows a folded brief. Available in Black, Navy and Off White, A5 at 143 x 213mm, with print, digital, deboss and gloss finishes across a 130 x 210mm canvas.

Thirty-nine per cent of the cover composition comes from apples — the pomace left after pressing, otherwise destined for landfill. It's the rare sustainability story that holds up under scrutiny from the procurement team and the design team alike. From 50 units, two to three weeks to your door.

Capture your thoughts in eco-friendly style with the Recycled JournalBook®. Crafted with sustainability in mind, this custom notebook features a uniquely crafted hardcover, colour-matching elastic closure, pen loop, and ribbon page marker for added convenience.

What sets it apart is its composition—39% of its components are derived from apples, making it a truly innovative and eco-conscious choice. Each page you fill is a step towards a greener future.

Colours Available: Black, Navy and Off White.

THE BRAND MANAGER’S TAKE

Why Recycled A5 Apple Leather Journal — JournalBooks works

The conversation-starter gift: an object whose material origin (fruit waste turned leather) does the brand's sustainability storytelling every time someone touches it.

CLEVER WAYS TO USE IT
  • Borrow the winery cellar-door tasting-notes ritual: a plant-based 'apple leather' journal handed to guests at sustainable food & beverage launches as their official tasting log — the material literally made from fruit waste becomes the story they write in.
  • Adapt the luxury hotel pillow-gift turndown: ESG consultancies and B Corp-certified firms leave an embossed apple-leather journal on the boardroom table before a sustainability audit kickoff — the deliverable starts before the first slide.
  • Steal from the artist-residency welcome pack: real-estate developers gift one to every buyer of an eco-certified apartment at settlement, embossed with the building name — 'page one of life at this address', turning a transaction into a chapter.
  • Lift the therapy-practice intake journal: wellness retreats and corporate mental-health programs brand it as a 'day one' reflection book, pad-printed with a single opening prompt inside the cover — merch that gets written in weekly, not binned.
A notebook made from apples. Yes, your sustainability slide just wrote itself.
