About Blackmoth Bindery

At Blackmoth Bindery, we are devoted to the quiet art of crafting timeless leather folios. In a world that rushes forward, where moments are fleeting and trends dissolve as quickly as they appear, we believe that what endures is what truly matters.

Journaling, record-keeping, and artistic expression are not inventions of the present—they are inheritances of the past. For centuries, humanity has written, recorded, and kept; letters and lists, fragments of thought, private reflections. These acts, though often overlooked, are the quiet guardians of memory and identity.

Our folios are created for those who understand this. Each is hand-bound from vegetable-tanned leather, chosen for its natural character and its gift of aging with grace. No two pieces are ever the same, because no two lives are ever the same.

We craft pieces that live with you, not pass with seasons. Within them, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the smallest marks of life become part of a greater story. For while the world moves swiftly, it is what we keep and treasure that remains—proof of who we are, and of what endures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my folio take to be crafted?

Each folio is made to order, allowing time for the leather to be carefully cut, stitched, and finished by hand. This process takes up to 14 business days before it is ready to begin its journey to you. We believe true craftsmanship is never rushed.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

As each folio is crafted to order, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges once an item has been personalized or made specifically for you. However, if your piece arrives with a fault or has been damaged in transit, please contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will make it right. Our priority is ensuring that every folio leaving the bindery reflects the standard of care and craftsmanship we stand by.

Why does my leather look slightly different from the photos?

Indeed. Each piece is crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, a natural material whose variations in tone and grain are a mark of authenticity. No two hides are alike, which means your folio will be singular in character—deepening in beauty as it acquires a rich patina through use and time.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept FPX and credit cards for your convenience.

Which notebooks are suited for your folios?

Our folios are thoughtfully proportioned to house standard A5 and A6 notebooks. With their elastic cord system, they embrace up to four inserts, allowing you to build a companion suited to your way of living—whether for writing, sketching, or keeping the record of your days.

Do you offer gift options?

Currently, we do not offer gift wrapping, but our journals make thoughtful gifts on their own.
