Rustico Epiphany Journal

Rustico’s compact Epiphany journal—offered in the cover of your choice, top-grain leather or merino wool—is hand-sewn and fitted with 96 pages of rough-cut, cream-colored paper. The paper holds up nicely to most pen types, but due to its fibrous nature isn’t ideal for use with fountain pens. Both the leather and wool versions are fitted with a leather strap for secure closure. The Epiphany Journal is also offered with a pocket on the front cover that can hold a small pen or pencil. Each Leather Epiphany Journal has a leather pocket that matches its cover, while the Wool Epiphany has a dark brown leather pocket to match its wrap closure. Every Epiphany Journal with Pocket includes a small pencil with eraser.

It started with a bookbinding course, some top-grain leather, and a ream of cotton rag paper. Now, Utah-based Rustico employs more than 30 people and produces an array of fine leather and paper goods, from journals to wallets and beyond. Produced only after it’s ordered, each piece is made with top-grain cowhide purchased exclusively from American tanners, and all colors and finishes are designed by Rustico.
