The handmade leather journal is a classic 2nd Story good! Use this leather-bound journal to process, dream, draw, pray, stay organized, and use as a personal diary...the possibilities are endless!
The Story:
All of our handcrafted leather- whether it is from the Noble Goat (one of the primary sources of protein in Haiti) sheep, or cow- is sourced in-country as a by-product of food. Talk about an authentic #notwasted story! Our leather products are handmade in “The Brothers” Workshop in Jubilee, a small developing community by the sea, on the outskirts of Gonaives. Founded by Benson Thermidor, this workshop employs over 20 people and is changing the story for people in this neighborhood.
The Details:
-Medium is unbranded, large has "genuine goat" branding on the front.
This is such a cool journal! I love the blank pages and handmade leather. And it was awesome knowing it was ethically made from real people! Highly recommend this product.

My favorite journal
I purchased a journal when I was in Haiti and since then I have filled it with my life's stories. The blank pages and weight of the paper allows me to watercolor, doodle, and write however I want without being restricted by lines. I love the goat skin cover and black strap to hold it all in. I most of all love it's high quality handmade uniqueness!
Thank you to Benson Thermidor, 2nd Story Goods, and anyone else who helped this journal find me.
