Grotto and Archive is an open journal of my own. It’s personal, yet something I’ve always hoped could be shared. It’s a documentation of my ongoing exploration of leathercraft, a curiosity of different materials and mediums, driven by a long-held love for collecting and creating by hand.

Every piece — from the raw leather to the finished journal, and the charms that adorn them — is sourced, cut, assembled, and curated by me.

It’s a gentle and meditative process I hold close — one I hope might inspire you to find creativity in the everyday moments of your own life.
