How to create your notāre system
When you customise your notāre you’re not just choosing a notebook, but an object that will be present in many moments of your everyday life.
The process is simple: first you choose the format, then how it looks on the outside and, finally, the details that give it a name and character.
1. Choose the format of your leather journal
Muse in A5 format or Nomad in passport format: two ways of writing and two ways of keeping you company.
2. Select the leather colour and elastics
Choose the leather colour that feels most like you and combine the elastics as you wish: tone-on-tone for a more subtle look or in contrast if you want it to stand out more.
Simple decisions that make your notāre look exactly how you want it to.
3. Make it unique with embossing and charms
Embossing gives your journal a name and intention: initials or a short word that means something to you.
Charms add small symbols, like talismans, that give personality and character to your notāre.

How do I start creating my notāre?
Your notāre is a leather journal, also known as a travel notebook, handmade in Madrid and fully customizable to suit you.
Start by choosing the collection in the size that fits you best:
- Muse, A5 size, with more space to write, create or plan your projects.
- Nomad, passport-size, light and easy to carry in your pocket or any bag.
Then choose the colour of the leather cover and the elastic cords that go with it. Make it yours with personalised embossing and the charms you’d like to add.
Each notāre is handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leather, made to last and evolve over time.
A modular, sustainable and personal system: create your notāre and discover a new way to write, plan and create.
What sizes are available and how do I choose the right one for me?
At notāre there are two collections, matching the two sizes of the system: Muse and Nomad.
Both share the same modular structure and refillable setup, designed to adapt to the way you write and move.
Muse · A5 size
Offers more space to write, plan or develop ideas.
It’s the ideal format if you want room and structure without giving up portability.
Includes three interchangeable inner notebooks (refills).
Nomad · Passport size
Compact, light and flexible, Nomad is designed to move with you.
Ideal as a travel notebook or personal journal, and it fits easily in a pocket or any bag.
Includes two interchangeable inner notebooks (refills).
Both covers are crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, a noble, flexible material that adapts to use and evolves over time.
The modular system allows you to change the notebooks whenever you want, whether they’re notāre refills or compatible formats from other brands.
What does my notāre include?
Each notāre leather journal is delivered as a complete system, ready to accompany you from day one.
It includes:
Handcrafted leather cover, made by hand in Madrid from vegetable-tanned leather.
You choose the colour of the cover and the colour of the elastic that holds it.
Interchangeable inner notebooks (refills).
notāre travel pouch, included with every order, designed to protect your journal and travel with you wherever you go.
You can also add a personal touch with personalised embossing and charms, bringing a unique and meaningful detail to your piece.
A system designed to last, evolve and adapt to you from the very first moment.
What types of notebooks are compatible with my notāre?
Your notāre is designed as a modular system that lets you easily swap the inner notebooks (refills). With the purchase of your notāre, refills in the same format are included:
Muse, in A5 size (14.8 × 21 cm)
Nomad, in passport / B7 size (approx. 9 × 13 cm)
Your notāre is also compatible with notebooks from other brands in equivalent sizes, such as Moleskine or other standard formats.
You can also add different types of notebooks: planners, diaries or special editions. Throughout the year, we’ll be introducing new limited-edition refills designed to support your organisation and planning.
If you’d like to discover new formats and refill launches, you can join the notāre Studio list or follow us on social media.
Can I emboss my notāre?
Yes. You can personalise your notāre with artisan embossing, turning it into something truly your own.
The embossing is done on the vegetable-tanned leather cover, applying heat and pressure by hand. It’s meant to be concrete and meaningful: you can add up to 6 characters in uppercase letters for a clean, legible and timeless result.
You can also choose between three embossing finishes:
Natural, tone-on-tone, subtle and discreet, more noticeable to the touch than at first glance.
Silver, with a cool, metallic and elegant look, easy to read.
Gold, the warmest and most luminous finish, with a soft, special sheen.
Each embossing is made to order, taking care with every detail to respect the texture and natural character of the leather.
What are charms and how many can I add?
Charms are small, meaningful accessories that personalise your notāre and create a connection with it.
You can use them to add a symbolic detail or to subtly distinguish your piece.
In the standard configuration:
On the cover you can add one charm.
On the spine you can add several charms, depending on what you need for your Muse or Nomad.
Each charm is attached using the notāre elastic system, and you can swap or combine them whenever you like.
If you have a specific layout in mind, for example using charms intended for the spine on the cover or an unusual combination, that is also possible.
In that case, simply select the charms when placing your order and email us at hello@notareconcept.com with your order number and your instructions on how you would like them to be arranged.
This way we can make sure the final result is as close as possible to what you had in mind.
What is the cover made of and how does it evolve over time?
Each notāre is made from 100% vegetable-tanned leather, a natural material treated without harsh chemicals. This type of leather preserves its original texture and, over time, develops a unique patina that reflects how each person uses it.
It evolves with use: it softens, gains nuance and keeps its character, adapting naturally.
Each cover is crafted by hand in local workshops in Madrid, where it is cut, dyed and assembled with careful attention to detail.
A noble, durable and functional material, designed to accompany you every day.
