  • Color changes with exposure to light and oils in your hands
  • Smooth texture
  • Will have scars, veining, and natural variation

Number 10 Design

The Number 10 design celebrates ten years of Chic Sparrow! This design features a two-in-one use, so it's the ONLY TN you'll ever need. You can use it as a folio and put a notebook into either of the pockets OR use it as a TN or a combination of both. Be it indecision or a love adaptability in a notebook cover this will be a winner for any of your needs!

Leather Care

This leather is considered untreated by industry standards, so care is straightforward. Use a soft cloth and our leather balm (we make in house) to keep it soft and use an undyed leather cleaner to keep it clean.

Clean/Condition Patina 2 times a year if you're in a dry arid climate and 1 time a year if you're in a humid climate.

Color

Each color is hand-dyed by us, resulting in unique variations ranging from mottled patterns to solid hues and everything in between. To keep the colors vibrant, we recommend applying a UV protectant. If you find the leather a bit dull, a touch of neutral shoe polish can give it the shine you desire.

If your color selection is not present when checking out,  Natural will be the default selection.

Short synopsis: What started as a purchase became a practice
From the first exchange with Julia to unboxing the finished piece, this journal is a real artisan masterpiece that creates a truly personal experience. Julia was gracious and matched my particular vision with customizations I hadn’t considered. From advice to adjustment of the color and closure, the entire team went out of their way, and the result is a truly beautiful, remarkable, deeply personal piece that carries not only a satisfying sensory experience, but serves as a companion dear to my heart. Chic Sparrow managed to deliver beyond my detailed specifications for what could have been merely functional, but with their expertise and attention to detail, it’s so much more.
I got the idea for this journal because of my father-in-law’s passing. He was a connoisseur of leather, craftsmanship, exquisite goods, and the written word. With a pen I received from him, I started chasing something I’d long abandoned: journaling. I couldn’t settle for anything less than perfect, and because of Chic Sparrow, I didn’t have to. The rich leather smell, the buttery firm texture, the perfect cut and stitching are just part of the story. For me, it’s about owning a piece that was handled with love and had life poured into it by every person in the chain. I’m so grateful for every part of it.
I’m already planning my next commission—thoroughly convinced. Expect to get more orders from my area because I’ve become an unwitting ambassador.

Awesome leather & model

I absolutely LOVE this leather, it may be my favorite of all time from Chicsparrow, and I own too many of them to count 😂 It's sturdy but velvety to the touch, and I can't wait for it to age and patina. But if it stayed as it is, it would be great too. The craftsmanship is amazing, as usual and the number 10 is really special, very flexible to use. I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic cover

This is a stiffer leather and for my personal preference I would prefer a different leather but it’s beautiful and well made.

Very nice model

Sturdy leather that holds it form. The natural color is wonderful, but it will darken after some time. Love the model with a snap.
