The Trillium - A5 Leather Trifold Journal | Full-Grain Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather | Handmade Refillable Notebook Cover
Meet The Trilium – a tri-fold leather cover designed for writers, planners, and everyday carry fanatics who like to keep everything in one beautiful place. This cover comfortably fits 2–3 A5 notebooks (depending on thickness), turning your favorite journals, planners, and sketchbooks into a single, organized bundle.
Images in the listing are made with Olmo for the main color and Walnut for the leather band closure. Many color options/combinations available!
Hand-cut and finished in my small workshop, each Trilium is built to be a lifetime companion that only gets better with age.
Premium Badalassi Pueblo Leather
Leather: Pueblo from Badalassi Carlo tannery in Tuscany, Italy.
Type: Premium full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather.
Finish: Beautiful matte/sueded surface that develops a rich, smooth patina with use.
Dyes: Colored with all-natural, plant-based dyes using traditional methods the tannery has used for over a century.
Badalassi’s Pueblo is famous for its vivid colors and character. The surface starts with a soft, chalky texture and gradually darkens and smooths where you touch it most, telling the story of how you use it.
Design & Features
Tri-fold layout folds around your notebooks for extra protection.
Holds 2–3 A5 notebooks (Hobonichi, Leuchtturm, Midori, Stalogy, etc., depending on thickness).
Elastic closure keeps everything secure without bulky hardware.
Includes a leather tab on the elastic closure band to protect the edge of the cover from wear.
All edges are hand-burnished – this isn’t just cosmetic; burnishing seals the fibers, helping the cover resist fraying and moisture and giving it that smooth, finished feel in your hand.
Minimal, clean lines with a small maker’s mark on the front corner.
Color & Tab Options
Pueblo comes in a range of rich, saturated colors – perfect whether you’re into subtle earth tones or bold statement hues.
The Primary color is the color you choose for the leather journal cover. The main color.
The Secondary color is the color you choose for the leather on the elastic closure tab.
If you don't choose a secondary color, I'll assume you want the same color for both. And don't tell anybody, but I always include an additional leather tab closure in a different color that I personally think will also look good with your journal cover so you will have a backup color option as a surprise. I'm just cool like that, and I hate having leather waste, so I try to use every single scrap of the hides.
For the elastic tab, you can:
Match it to the main cover color, or choose a contrasting color for a custom two-tone look.
Just leave a note at checkout with your preferences, or send me a message if you’d like help choosing combinations.
Handmade for You
Each Trilium is:
Cut, assembled, and finished entirely by hand.
Made to order, so slight variations in color and grain are normal – and part of what makes your cover unique.
Built from heirloom-quality leather meant to age gracefully, not wear out.
Customizations & Questions
Need a different elastic color, extra ribbons, or a tweak to fit a specific notebook brand? I’m happy to customize.
Send me a message before or after ordering with any questions, color requests, or custom ideas, and we’ll dial in a Trilium that’s perfect for you.
Upgrade your notebook setup with a cover that feels as good in the hand as it looks on your desk – The Trilium is ready to carry your next story, sketch, plan, or adventure.
