Magpie of Toronto

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Toronto, a place I've called home for more than four decades, I've cultivated a deep passion for the art of leather craftsmanship. At the heart of my hobby business lies a collection of unique, meticulously crafted leather journal covers, each a testament to the beauty and individuality of handcrafted art. My designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about bringing to life the rich stories and memories that leather, as a medium, naturally holds.

What sets my work apart is the careful attention to detail and the personal touch I infuse into every piece. I believe in the uniqueness of each hide, just as I believe in the uniqueness of each story that my journal covers will eventually hold. To enhance their natural beauty, I mix my dyes individually, creating bespoke hues that complement the distinct tones and textures of each leather piece. This process ensures that no two covers are alike, each one a singular work of art that carries its own character and charm.

Through my creations, I invite you to experience the warmth and tactile pleasure of genuine, handcrafted leather, designed to age gracefully with time. Whether it's capturing your thoughts, dreams, or daily adventures, my journal covers are made to be your companion, safeguarding your writings in style and durability.

Join me in celebrating the timeless craft of leatherwork, where traditional techniques meet contemporary design, right here in Toronto. Let's create something beautiful and lasting together.
