There’s something different about starting with a blank canvas.

Natural vegetable-tanned leather begins soft, clean and understated—and then time takes over. Every touch, every trip, every day adds depth, character and patina until it becomes unmistakably yours.

This custom Altered 71 notebook was made by hand, one stitch at a time, and personalized for the person who will give it its story.

Made to be used. Made to age beautifully. Made for you.

Prussian Blue + Royal Red might be my new favorite combination. ❤️💙

This B6 Companion has such a good feel in the hand—the size is compact enough to carry, but still gives you plenty of room to actually write.

There is no greater compliment than a customer returning for her sixth Altered 71 notebook. 🤎

This custom leather Bifold will hold family recipes collected since childhood—including favorites made by her mother. Someday, it will be passed down to her daughter.

Engraved in Portuguese with a familiar family sentiment: “Come e cala”—shut up and eat.

Some notebooks are meant to become heirlooms.

Introducing natural vegetable-tanned leather to the Altered 71 collection—with a piece made especially for me.

My A6 Bifold holds the sketchbook I carry for ideas, observations and whatever I feel compelled to create. Inspired by my favorite artist, Georgia O’Keeffe, it’s engraved with words that remind me to trust what I see and create what I feel.

The beauty of natural veg tan is that it won’t remain untouched. It will deepen, soften and record the life lived with it—making this sketchbook more personal with every mark.

This Bible had been carried and loved for years. Instead of replacing it, we gave it a new life.

Every cut, stitch, and detail was handcrafted to preserve what already held so much meaning.

This custom leather cover was built around one of my Studio Trifold designs, allowing a treasured Bible to continue its journey for years to come.

I don’t just make notebooks.

I create heirloom pieces that honor the stories people carry.

✨ What meaningful item would you preserve instead of replace?

This is the notebook that rarely leaves my side.

My calendar.
My to-do list.
Ideas before they’re forgotten.

I designed this A6 bifold because I wanted something that felt comfortable in my hand, disappeared into my purse, and made me want to write every day.

Sometimes the simplest things become the ones you reach for the most.

I made this passport holder for myself after admiring a classic luxury design that wasn’t exactly within my budget.

So I created my own version in baby blue leather, finished with navy hand stitching and brass hardware. The passport slips easily in and out while staying protected and ready for travel.

This one is mine—but handcrafted passport holders will be coming soon to Altered 71.

Which color combination should I make next?
