Austen | Number 10 | Two-In-One Folio or Traveler's Notebook

139.00
Color: Darcy

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.

Details

  • Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather
  • Hot stuffed and glazed for a smooth, polished finish
  • Firm hand with a structured feel
  • Records marks and handling as part of its character
  • Develops a rich, visible patina with use
  • Works as both a folio and traveler’s notebook
  • Designed for flexible notebook systems
  • Approx. 2.2 to 2.7 mm thick

Austen is chosen by those who want their leather to change, not stay perfect.

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.

Customers praised this versatile notebook cover for its "gorgeous" leather quality and craftsmanship. The design functions as both a folio and traveler's notebook, fitting multiple inserts and featuring cascading pockets. Shoppers loved the smooth texture that patinas beautifully over time. One customer noted preference against antiquing treatment.

Gorgeous Emma

My B6 slim No10 Emma is gorgeous and a new favorite size. The leather is smooth and I know it will patina beautifully.
The service…brilliant! I spoke with Elizabeth by phone and she answered all my questions and even called me back to let me know my planner would fit! I was shocked at how quickly it came! I ordered it on Monday and came that Saturday ! Thank you team for my beautiful new Traveler’s Notebook!

The Perfect TN/Cover

I can honestly say without a doubt that this is the most perfect tn/cover I’ve ever had (and I’ve owned quite a few…)! The leather is *gorgeous* and the interior setup couldn’t be better - I got it in an A5, and I’m able to use both my standard tn inserts, as well as a book that neatly tucks into the inside back pocket. It’s genuinely the only tn/cover you’ll ever need… except, I needed it in other colours and sizes as well lol!

Pretty shade

Pretty shade of purple. I like how there aren’t grommets like most TN covers in the market. I hope that it will break and soften over time.

Beautiful!

I am obsessed with this particular style! I have it in a few different sizes, but the narrow is my favorite for a wallet/edc combo. I requested light darkening on the edges and it is perfection! Thank you so much, CS team!

Just what I hoped for

This is my first Number 10 and my first Austen cover (Emma A6) and I love everything about it! I am glad I previously purchased an Austen leather sample so I'd be prepared for how the leather would feel. I am happy with the piece CS chose for me, which matches what I asked for (striations welcome, no moles, freckles, etc.). In a word, it's perfection.

So Beautiful!

I thought it was pretty in the photos, but it's an absolute stunner in person! So much attention to detail! You can definitely see that it was made with love by someone that is passionate about what they do, rather than mass produced in a factory. Well worth every penny and will be loved for years to come!
