Custom Leather Notebook Covers – Personalized from Classic Foundations

Thank you for your interest in a custom leather notebook cover! I’m Craftsman Lecona, and I handcraft every cover with care, attention to detail, and durability—ensuring a piece that’s both functional and truly unique to you.

Start with a Base Model

All custom covers begin with one of my two signature designs:

  • The Classic – A timeless, minimalist notebook cover.
  • The Heritage – A more detailed and elegant design with vintage character.

From there, you can personalize nearly every detail:

  • Notebook size (A5, A6, Field Notes, etc.)
  • Closure method (snap, strap, wrap, open)
  • Leather color and finish
  • Type of leather (Buttero, Pueblo, Horween Dublin, Shell Cordovan, etc.)
  • Tannery (Wickett & Craig, Horween, Rocado, Badalassi, and others)
  • Engraving, pockets, and more.

How to Order

1. Deposit & Budget Range

  • A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to begin your custom order. This secures your spot in my schedule and allows me to begin working with you on the design.
  • Final pricing depends on the level of customization. Most custom covers range from $150 and up, depending on your preferences.
  • There’s no fixed maximum price — I’ll work within the budget range you provide (e.g., $150–$250, $300–$500, $500+). The more detailed or premium the build, the higher the investment.
  • Once you share your budget, I’ll propose the best options available for your range.

2. Design & Material Selection

  • After I receive your deposit, I’ll reach out to begin the design process.
  • Please send your ideas, sketches, or inspiration to customcraftsmanlecona@gmail.com.
  • Once we finalize the design, I’ll help you choose the right leather, color, and features.
  • I’ll then send a digital PDF of your design for final approval before materials are ordered.

3. Final Payment & Production

  • I’ll calculate the remaining balance once your design and custom features are confirmed.
  • After receiving the final payment, I’ll begin crafting your notebook cover.
  • Production takes approximately 4 weeks, depending on complexity and material availability.
  • Your order will be shipped as soon as it’s completed.

Important Policies

  • The $100 deposit is non-refundable, as I immediately begin preparing materials and reserving time for your project.
  • Custom orders cannot be canceled or refunded under any circumstances. Once your order is placed, all sales are final.

Thank You

My goal is to craft the highest quality leather notebook covers while providing a fully personalized experience. I deeply appreciate your trust and support in my work.

Thank you for choosing handcrafted quality.
