Austen is our signature leather, chosen for how quickly it develops character.

This full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather starts smooth and polished, then begins to change with use. Every mark, every crease, and every day of handling becomes part of the leather, creating a rich patina that reflects how it has been used.

These marks are not flaws. They are what give Austen its depth and character over time.

If you want a notebook that stays pristine, this is not it.
If you want one that becomes uniquely yours, this is the one.

Why Choose Austen

  • Shows marks and wear early, not years later
  • Builds a rich patina through daily use
  • Records your habits, not just your handling
  • Deepens in tone and character over time
  • Designed for those who want leather that changes

About the Number 10

The Number 10 is built for flexibility.

It works as both a folio and a traveler’s notebook, allowing you to switch between bound notebooks and insert systems without changing your setup. This makes it one of the most adaptable formats in the lineup.

As the leather ages, the larger surface area creates more visible character, giving the piece a strong presence over time.

Stuffability Scale
A guide to how much this cover likes to be filled.
Level 3 — Standard Stuffable · 3–4 inserts
  • 1 · Ultra Slim — folio and bookcover designs for a single notebook or bound book, occasionally a second very slim companion.
  • 2 · Slim Everyday — ideal for 2–3 inserts and a simple, graceful daily carry.
  • 3 · Standard Stuffable — designs with strap closures, happiest with 3–4 average inserts and a little room for dashboards.
  • 4 · High Capacity — Traveler’s Notebooks with elastic closures that love layered, “chunky” journaling setups.
  • 5 · Maximalist — trifolds and leather wrap styles for generous, overflowing notebooks and keepsakes.
Strap-closure designs are most content with three to four average inserts and a dashboard or two that do not exceed 1.25 inches or 2.7cm. The strap keeps everything neat and secure, but it does not stretch like elastic, so a moderate, tidy setup is ideal.
