This is the Earthworks Journals A5 brown leather journal with our Retro Swallow, Heart & Rose Tattoo design hand tooled onto the cover. It is bound in a single thick piece of vegetable tanned leather and has a beautiful, antiqued brown finish which picks out the design and natural markings in the full-grain leather; this makes each book unique. The covers are held closed by two tie cords finished with leather beads.
With its versatile size it's a great journal to either keep at home or carry around in your bag. It makes a great personal journal, a place to write up your travel adventures, or even a rustic wedding guestbook.

This is our version of a traditional old-school tattoo depicting symbols of love. Hearts and roses have always been symbols of pure love but the swallow has a more complex history. It was once popular with sailors as it was believed to carry their souls to heaven if they died at sea. It has now become a symbol of enduring love, as swallows mate for life. The scroll on this design can carry the text of your choice, please see the personalisation section below.
