What Writing Mediums Can I Use On The Paper?
You can use your new journal for water coloring, fountain pen writing, sketching, and art journaling. While the weight of Soothi's tree-free paper limits bleeding, it also buckles when exposed to too much water. Our suggestion would be to use watercolor sparsely across the journal, and to patch test first before going all in.
Why Does My Journal Have Marks On The Cover?
Since we use repurposed leather that would otherwise be waste, this leather often has natural marks and spots. These marks and scars present themselves on the cover of our journals. We like to believe they add to the vintage look and feel of our products.
How Eco-Friendly Is This Journal, Really?
Soothi's mission is to use natural and organic materials that pre-exist in the world to create their handmade journals . This is why they source upcycled leather and use paper made of recycled cotton waste. Soothi also plants a tree for each journal sold, in partnership with One Tree Planted.
Handmade Product Disclaimer
As with all handmade and small-batch items, no two pieces are exactly the same. Since Soothi use recycled and upcycled materials, variations in size, color, and design will occur naturally.
Soothi guarantees the quality of their handmade products, and they hope you enjoy and celebrate these variations and natural imperfections as much as they do.
How Do I Care For My Leather Journal?
Keep leather items out of the sun. The sun will dry the leather out and cause it to become brittle.
Don't store your leather products in plastic bags.
Don't leave your items in a humid or wet basement – this could promote the growth of mildew.
If the journal cover needs to be cleaned, try to brush your leather down with a damp cloth and let it sit at room temperature to dry.
Before using any leather cleaning products, please TEST a small patch first and see how the leather reacts to it.
