Old Leather Collection Capturing the flavour of Renaissance-style bound books, our Flint cover pays homage to the craft of delicate gold tooling. For this Old Leather design, we have incorporated a textured white design reminiscent of chalk, flint or limestone, adding an edginess to the look of finely wrought leather. The timeless beauty of an antique leather journal is brought into the present on the cover of this intricately embellished, leather-like cover. For our Flint design we were inspired by one of the softest, most pliable forms of leather. Since the late 16th century, fine morocco leather has been valued for use in luxury book bindings due to its strength and ability to show off gilding. With a subtle foliage pattern set against an intriguing white background, this design offers a minimalistic take on our classic Old Leather style. When we were first beginning to make Paperblanks journals, we found a piece of William Shakespeares handwriting and just knew it could become an inspiring journal cover. Soon we added designs featuring the writing of Ernest Hemingway and Jane Austen and created a series that would become our Embellished Manuscripts Collection. These first covers were minimalist designs with the literary manuscripts written in black ink against beige paper. Eventually, our creative urges started to take over and we sought to play around with the design by adding a gold frame. Working from a photograph of a small piece of gorgeous gold embellishment, our Art Director created a full frame for the Shakespeare manuscript and highlighted it with a burnt orange background. Of course, our curiosity for what could come next didnt stop there! By removing the manuscript we immediately saw the possibilities for a design inspired by classic Renaissance leather bindings. And thus, our foundational Old Leather Collection was born. These days we are free to play around with frame shape and background colour, and this initial beige and black design continues to provide the backbone for two of our most enduringly popular collections.
