Florentine Leather Bound Journal

All of us at EssentialsForEntertaining are especially proud to offer you this leather bound journal in what can only be described as a kalidescope of colors.
When Essentials For Entertaining founder Andrea Loreto was a young boy in Florence, he often wandered along the centuries-old narrow sidewalks in the heart of the city, stopping periodically to peer into the workshops, or “botteghe,” of the Florentine craftspeople. In these forgotten corners of the most beautiful city in the world, the ancient traditions of bookbinding and marbleized papermaking are perpetuated generation after generation. We hope that you, like Andrea, find this time-honored Carta India design the most enchanting of them all. Each of our handmade books are covered with the beautiful marbleized papers that make the Forini family of artisans (justifiably!) world famous. Each journal is bound in supple leather and composed of archival quality paper pages. One glimpse of this exquisite item will transport you and your guests to the heart of Florence.

Measures: 22”x30”
Hand-colored paper and calf leather binding. Made in Florence, Italy.
