The timeless beauty of an antique leather journal is brought into the present on the cover of this intricately embellished, leather-like cover. For this Black Moroccan design, Paperblanks were inspired by one of the softest, most pliable forms of leather. Since the late 16th century, fine Moroccan leather has been valued for use in luxury bookbindings due to its strength and ability to show off gilding. With a delicate foliage pattern set against a rich dark brown background, this design pays homage to the craft of gold tooling, originally brought to Europe via the flourishing trade routes to the East. Since then, this style has been a popular choice for everyone!
