Certified Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather

This leather is certified Tuscan vegetable tanned leather, backed by the Pelle Conciata al Vegetale in Toscana trademark. As a licensed holder of the Consortium's official certification tags, every piece we make is traceable, authentic, and held to the highest traditional standards.

Edge Finish Options

Raw Edge (No Burnish): The leather is left natural with no edge treatment.

Burnished Edge: Hand burnished in a three step process finishing with beeswax to enhance durability, water resistance, and achieve a smooth, refined edge.

Creased Edge: A decorative crease is pressed along the edge of the leather using heat. This adds a subtle detail that frames the piece and gives it a more formal, traditional finish.

INCREDIBLE!! Joseph’s leather work is absolutely stunning. He’s created a piece fully tailored to exactly what I’ve been wanting. The care Joseph puts into his work is beautiful, right down to the finer details- stitching, pockets, creased and burnished edges!
He remained in contact throughout the entire process and was very transparent about stock availability.
I’m so excited I found an Aussie based leather worker and I cannot recommend JCM Leather enough. 10/10 :)

Great quality product. Very well made. You can see that there has been time and effot going into creating such a beautiful leather journal.

I received my new Narrator Pocket Bifold today and love it. I know it will be with me for many years to come. Joseph's work can't be faulted, the quality is exceptional. It is clear a lot of time has gone into perfecting the design. The customisation options are fantastic and great care goes into each piece - I highly recommend it. The leather itself is smooth, has a lovely colour and smells amazing.
