Color: Coffee Brown

Sometimes the best ideas come when we step away from everything else—whether at your desk or halfway around the world. The MAUD Core Journal exists for those moments of focused thinking, designed to travel as lightly or as deeply as you do. Not another system to master, but a portable sanctuary where thoughts can land without being optimized or shared.

Slim enough to slip into any bag, durable enough to weather any journey. This is for anyone who values the clarity that comes from writing by hand—in a coffee shop, on a train platform, or wherever your day takes you. A place to capture both the smallest observations and the biggest revelations, without rushing to the next notification.

Handcrafted from full-grain leather that develops its own unique patina—every scratch and mark becoming part of your story. Built to last a lifetime, designed to adapt to however you need it. The kind of companion that gets better with use, holding space for wherever your thinking leads, wherever you happen to be.

What's Included:

  • Durable full-grain leather cover with an elastic cord system that holds everything together.
  • (3) booklets pre-installed to get you started. (1) Blank, (1) Lined, and (1) Grid. Each booklet is made from high quality 100g paper to prevent bleeding and ghosting.
  • (1) Kraft paper interior organizer. Use the organizer to store loose papers, cards, and keepsakes.
  • A brass hanging ornament to start your collection. These are optional to use, of course.

FAQs

What makes your journals different from regular notebooks?

Our journals are modular and refillable. You’re not locked into one layout or even just our refills — there are many aftermarket inserts available, so you can build a system that fits your exact needs!

How do the refills work?

Each journal uses an elastic system to hold multiple inserts at once. When a notebook fills, simply slide it out and replace it with a new one.

What kinds of refills are available?

We currently offer a pack of blank, lined, and grid refill booklets. You can mix and match to create a system that fits your life — whether for journaling, planning, or sketching. You can also use industry-standard "Traveler" size inserts for our Standard Journal and "Passport" size inserts for our Passport Journal.

How long will the leather cover last?

With proper care, your leather cover can last for many, many years. It develops a unique patina over time — becoming more personal and beautiful the longer you use it.

How do I care for the leather?

You'll want to keep the leather out of extremely wet or extremely dry conditions. If it's looking a little dry, apply a small amount of your favorite leather conditioner to freshen up.

Is this a good gift?

Definitely. Our journals make meaningful, lasting gifts — perfect for writers, travelers, creatives, or anyone looking for a mindful analog tool.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

★★★★★

Love it so much - "This notebook has become my nightly ritual. Writing in it clears my head in a way my phone never could. I fall asleep faster, with less anxiety, knowing my thoughts are safely tucked away. It feels like my own private space where the noise of the day finally stops." -Sofia R.

★★★★★

Perfect! - "I’ve tried countless apps and planners, but nothing helped me feel as grounded as this. The modular inserts let me keep work, journaling, and even my budget all in one place. It’s like carrying a little system that actually keeps life from feeling so scattered." -Marta K.

★★★★★

Exceeded my expectations! - "I'll admit, I babied this thing at first. Every little scratch made me cringe. But now those battle scars are what make it special. Each mark is like a memory—late nights writing, meetings where everything clicked, random thoughts scribbled down wherever." -Sara J.

★★★★★

Highly recommended - "Something about slowing down to write by hand sparks ideas I’d never get staring at a screen. I use one insert for sketches, one for notes, and another just for random thoughts." -Wendy W.
