The covers for this journal are made of recycled sign vinyl and old advertising posters have been stitched to create pockets. This creates a completely one of a kind and original journal. The exterior measures roughly 5.5x9 inches in size and is about an inch thick. There are 240 pages (both sides) of 24lb 25% cotton blank paper. It’s stitched with natural unbleached hemp in a style called the long stitch. It’s a centuries old binding style that is done in modern materials.
These journals are very tough and survive rough use. I use these for work notebooks that have to survive travel and everyday use. When the covers get dirty they wipe clean with soap and water. The covers can be decorated with sharpies and other markers.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

I saw some old signs at work and thought that the way the vinyl handled was similar to the leather I was using to make my other journals. SO I asked for a few old signs and brought them to my studio and started chopping them up to create journals. These journals are the result of that experimentation. The pockets are stitched in to give additional support but also to provide a great place to store more stuff. No two are ever alike because I never get more than one of each sign.
