Leatherette Longstitch Journals

I have been searching for years for a faux leather that is thick, pliable-yet-stiff-ish, matte textured, and strong enough for bookbinding -- oh, and not smell like rocket fuel. These books are covered in 2mm thick, PU based (not vinyl) faux leather. Each is carefully sewn with a late Medieval longstitch binding, with strong linen thread. The inside is soft, but not fuzzy, and I the material strikes a great balance between stiffness/beefiness and flexibility. Choose from brown with a blue bead and black with red. 

(Please read below for more details and some information about this binding style.)

Dating at least as far back as the late Medieval period, this "stationery" binding was developed to be simple, durable, and portable. Combined with modern materials, you have a journal that will *not* bust, that shows off its non-adhesive binding, and that opens wide for you right from the start.
