paper republic just changed the leather journal game.
Introducing: l’atelier live the world’s first online leather journal customiser. Create your perfect journal from over 100,000 variations in a few clicks; our leather artisans will handmake it in our Vienna workshop then ship it to your home.
We are incredibly excited to launch a world first. A brand-new tool that enables anyone to build the journal they want and play with a live, 3D visualization, every step of the way.
This is a revolution in bespoke leather journals. A world first that melds our love of traditional, handmade craftsmanship with the most advanced digital technology. It’s an unparalleled experience, available nowhere else.
How does l’atelier live | 3D journal customiser work?
Just visit our free tool online to start your build. First choose your journal size, from pocket to a4. Want rounded corners rather than square? No problem. Want a trifold design rather than bifold? We got you. Browse our palette of more than a dozen leather colours, from classics like cognac and chestnut, to our popular petrol blue or rustic rose.
Add a pocket. Add two pockets. Change the colours. How about a leather lining? Try it. (And try it in 15 different tones). Want to explore thread options? Select your stitches from 15 shades including silver, berry red, and botany green.
Match or contrast your cover with your internal and external ribbons. Want to make it utterly unique? Emboss your name or initials in any of our 10 different colours.
View your creation every step of the way in 3D.
Zoom in. Zoom out. Roll it, flip it, spin it. Close the cover. Open the cover. Download your design as an image or PDF and share it with someone.
You can even see how your journal will look sitting on your very own desk with our Augmented Reality option.
l’atelier live is a true revolution in journal customisation. We bring the beloved attention to detail and handmade quality of our Vienna workshop into your own home.
Create the leather journal you want. Make it different. Make it yours. And do it all in a few clicks.
What will you build?
