the hands and heart behind Notra Journals.

Two years ago, I discovered leathercraft and was instantly drawn to the craft’s precision, patience, and beauty. It began with a journal I made for myself and grew into a passion for creating pieces that feel as good in your hands as they look on your desk.

Every Notra journal is handcrafted in Los Angeles from Italian vegetable-tanned leather, chosen for its beauty and ability to age into something even more remarkable. I believe in quality over quantity, the character of handmade work, and giving your words a home worthy of them.
