About forest nine

Handbound Journals to preserve all your adventures, special moments & memories. Welcome to Forest Nine where my life-long financially irresponsible passion for journals and stationery shines through in every handcrafted leather journal I create. As fellow stationery addict, I began my journey with a creative spirit – nothing was safe. If I could get my hands on it, I turned it into a journal. An old leather jacket from the thrift store? Journal. Dad's scrap wood in the garage? Lots of journals. Finished with that cracker box? Perfect, that will make a great journal too. Over the past 12 years my love for book binding has remained the main focus in my life, even after sewing many, many thousands of them by hand. Each day I am so grateful I get to do what I love. Make books. With this extensive bookbinding experience, Forest Nine has evolved into a premium journal brand dedicated to delivering luxury quality personalized journals. My leather journals are more than just writing tools—they’re crafted from high-quality full grain leather, ready to be your durable companion for travels, adventures and everyday moments. Each journal is meticulously handcrafted with attention to every detail to ensure a product that stands the test of time. I offer custom debossing to make your journal uniquely yours. Whether you want to commemorate a special date, add a name, logo, or include a meaningful quote, the personalization options turn your journal into a cherished keepsake, or unforgeRead their story
