Bella | Cascade Traveler's Notebook

90.00
by ChicSparrow

Bella is a full grain, chrome tanned leather infused with oils and waxes for a soft, pliable feel and a smooth, semi-gloss finish. It has a subtle pull-up effect, shifting from a deep brown base to warmer chestnut tones when bent or handled.

It feels broken in from the start and develops character through movement and use rather than heavy patina.

Scroll down to explore the Cascade design and how it’s built for everyday use.

    Patina | Cascade | Full Grain Leather Traveler's Notebook with Pockets - ChicSparrow

    Designed to feel complete from the start. No setup required

    Most notebook covers are just a shell. You are left to piece together inserts and accessories that wear out over time.

    The Cascade is different.

    Every pocket is built from leather and stitched into the design. It is made to be used as a complete system from the start, with the durability to last for years.

    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.

    This traveler's notebook features beautiful, smooth leather with a rich dark brown color and golden undertones. Customers praised the "gorgeous leather" and perfect thickness - not too stiff or floppy. The leather has a pleasant scent and feels amazing to hold. Shoppers loved the quality craftsmanship and expect it will age beautifully.

    Well, wow! This leather! It truly deserves its name “Bella”. So smooth, with a tiny cloudiness in its shade, it’s a beautiful dark brown. I regret not getting an inscription on it, it would look amazing. Can’t wait to see how this cover will age with time and usage.

    Beautiful!

    I purchased the Bella after reading Jennifer Harvey's answer to a question on Instagram wherein she said that the Bella was the same leather from the retired Outlander line. As the Outlander line remains one of my favorite lines, I knew I couldn't pass it up and I am so glad I didn't. The Bella is everything I loved in the Outlander line - absolute perfection. I love the scent of the leather and the feel of it in my hands - a bit squishy and soft but not too floppy. The color of the Bella looks similar to the Claire from the original line but with less of a red undertone and more of a golden undertone. I love it and I'm so glad Chic Sparrow was able to bring this leather back!

    Just received my new Bella in A6. I absolutely love her. The leather is the perfect thickness for me. Not stiff but not to thin where it would be to floppy.
    The color is a beautiful rich brown with vague striations in it. I just love it. It does have a bit of a stronger scent but it doesn't bother me. It smells of a mix of
    leather and probably some kind of chemical (?). I guess from the finishing process? I don't know but I love it. For me the next best leather to Austin which I love also.
    Oh, and Chic Sparrow's customer service is like none other!!! Perfect!!! Its like your friends. Wonderful!!
    Thank you and Happy Holiday!!

    The red in the leather “glows” through the brown. It’s just gorgeous! And it’s so smooth. I just want to hold it all the time.
