A7 Leather Notebooks: Small, Sustainable, Perfect for Travel

There is something quietly wonderful about a small notebook that you can slip into a pocket or bag without a second thought. The Florrie A7 leather book is designed specifically for travellers, wanderers, and note-takers who value collecting small details. 

At a size slightly larger than a credit card, these journals are incredibly portable and fit easily into coat pockets, backpacks, handbags, travel organisers, or glove compartments. They are the ideal companion for jotting down travel notes, sketching landscapes, or capturing fleeting thoughts during long train journeys.

Every notebook is handmade in Fife using leather remnants—high-quality pieces from other industries that might otherwise be wasted. Repurposing these materials ensures that every book reduces waste and is completely unique, meaning no two journals are ever the same. The interior features exceptional paper from James Cropper, British master papermakers based in the Lake District since 1845.

James Cropper is a global leader in sustainability and innovation, particularly through their world-first CupCycling™ process. This technology transforms used coffee cups into beautiful bespoke paper, with the capacity to recycle 700 million cups every year. Remarkably, 95% of the cup waste is converted back into paper, while the remaining 5% of plastic is used for energy recovery during production. (Learn more about the CupCycling™ process here)

The resulting paper is beautifully tactile, strong, and durable, handling pencil, pen, and light ink with ease. 

As with all Florrie items, these books are produced in small batches, the colour, texture, and character of the hide make each piece feel deeply personal. These journals are designed to age beautifully, gathering scuffs and stories as they move from place to place.

They make the perfect sustainable gift for artists, hikers, and stationery lovers who want an object that becomes more meaningful the more it is used. Whether you are exploring coastal paths or city streets, a Florrie handmade notebook is a quietly luxurious essential for any adventure.
