A complete writing system, handcrafted just for you.
Designed for those who prefer a larger canvas, the Forma Writing Kit brings together our handcrafted A5 leather journal with the everyday accessories that complete the experience. Every journal is individually crafted to your specifications, ensuring no two are exactly alike.
Customize your leather, hardware, cord color, and personalization before your journal is carefully made by hand.

- A5 Frosted Folio Insert
Journal Size
A5

Crafted to Order
Every Writing Kit is handcrafted to order in our New York studio using premium vegetable-tanned leather. Because leather is a natural material, subtle variations in grain, markings, and color are to be expected and are part of what makes every Maison Rose journal uniquely yours.
Please allow 1–2 weeks for your journal to be handcrafted before shipment.

Care
Keep dry:
Light moisture is fine, but avoid soaking. If exposed to water, gently pat dry and allow it to air dry naturally.
Condition occasionally:
Use a small amount of leather balm to maintain suppleness and prevent dryness. A little goes a long way.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure:
Sunlight will deepen the color over time — beautiful, but best in moderation.
Handle with intention:
Oils from your hands will naturally condition the leather. Over time, it will become uniquely yours.
Expect change:
This leather is not meant to stay pristine. It is meant to age, to mark, to reflect a life well documented.
shipping/fulfillment
Archive Collection Notebooks are fulfilled in 1-3 business days.
Our custom notebooks are made slowly, not mass produced.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for production before shipment.
Each journal is crafted to order using vegetable-tanned leather sourced from select tanneries in Italy and the United States. Because many leathers are sourced specifically for your order, production time allows us to carefully prepare, assemble, and finish your piece by hand.
Shipping speed selected at checkout refers to transit time once your package has shipped.
The Leather
We intentionally select full-grain vegetable-tanned leathers that retain the natural character of the hide. As a result, markings such as healed scars, grain variations, wrinkles, and other features from the tannery may be visible and will vary from piece to piece.
These characteristics are a hallmark of authentic leather and should not be considered flaws. Rather, they are part of what makes each journal entirely unique—a one-of-one piece that cannot be exactly replicated.
