Leather Bound Journal Basil
Closing down
Alderton is closing permanently. Until the final piece leaves the shelf, everything is up to 80% off — and once it's gone, it's gone. No restocks.
This run is closing. These are the final pieces from the last batch our makers will produce for us, and we are clearing them at the lowest price we have run.
There are no reorders and no restocks. When a colour sells out, it is gone — the one you are looking at may be one of the last.
Buy two and 20% comes off. Three and it becomes 25%. Four or more, 30%. Applied automatically at checkout, nothing to type in.
Full dimensions — height, width, depth and strap drop — are listed on the images and in the description of each piece. Check them against what you carry before ordering.
As a guide: a laptop up to 15 inches fits our briefcases and larger backpacks; a slim wallet holds cards and folded notes; a tote takes a laptop, a folder and the day's essentials.
Unsure whether something fits your laptop or your daily load? Send us the measurement and we will tell you which piece is right.
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days. Delivery takes around 7 to 15 business days depending on your location, customs processing and the local carrier. You receive a tracking link the moment your order ships.
Shipping is free worldwide on every order. No minimum, no exceptions. Import duties, where your country applies them, are not included and are the recipient's responsibility.
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. Items must be unused and in their original packaging.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use to lift dust. For smooth leather, apply a conditioner every few months to keep it supple; for suede, use a brush and keep it away from water.
If it gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun, then condition it. Store it stuffed lightly with paper and out of a sealed plastic bag so the shape holds and the leather can breathe.
Creases and marks that appear over time are the leather doing what leather does — they are character, not damage.
