Hand Stitch Your Own Leather Journal and Feel Rather Marvellous About It
There is something rather splendid about making things with your own hands, particularly when those things are as gorgeous as a proper leather journal. We have taken the rather good idea of personalisation one step further and handed you the tools to craft your very own notebook from scratch.
Our Make Your Own Journal Kit puts you in the driving seat, guiding you through straightforward step by step instructions that transform a collection of materials into something you will actually want to use and treasure. It is rather like getting a taste of the workshop experience without the awkward small talk or flour in your hair.
Why Choose Our Make Your Own Journal Kit
Choose Your Colours: Pick the leather hue, strap shade and thread colour that speaks to you, while we handle all the fiddly bits and deliver everything pre prepared and ready for stitching.
Complete Creative Control: Paint, write, draw or simply daydream in a journal you have genuinely made yourself. The satisfaction is rather exceptional.
Step by Step Guidance: Our instructions are written for actual humans, not origami champions. Even if your hand stitching looks a touch wonky, it will be utterly fetching and uniquely yours.
Beautifully Crafted Materials: Real leather, quality thread and proper paper because doing things properly is rather worth the effort.
What Is Included in Your Kit
Pre cut leather cover, genuine leather strap, quality thread, premium paper for the pages, and clear instructions to see you through each stage.
Start your making journey today. A kit like this tends to spark rather a lot of inspiration, and the longer you wait, the longer you miss out on the glorious feeling of having made something marvellous with your own two hands.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!
All prices in lovely British pounds £ GBP, though international chaps will see converted prices.
Any payment pickle? We're here to help sort things out! Contact us
We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
