From &Liebe: The leather we are currently using is called VONO OIL from Tochigi Leather, and it has some grain and some doesn't.
We consulted with Tochigi Leather through their craftsman, and they readily agreed to develop an original leather.
-It has the right hardness to protect the pen from impact.
-It is smooth leather with a smooth surface.
We started developing a leather that met these two criteria.
While retaining a matte texture similar to the current VONO OIL, we made the leather harder and firmer, and increased its strength to protect from external impacts.
*When we tried to make the natural leather version with smooth leather, the color changed considerably. We decided that it would be difficult to produce smooth leather in the natural leather.
The natural leather version will remain the current VONO OIL with both smooth and textured leather

A well-made, thoughtful product for your notebook. With the intention of supporting the craftsman in Japan, this product was designed and made in Japan.
This leather cover is meant to age and follow along with you on your long writing journey.
From &Liebe:
We use Tochigi leather. The VONO OIL leather from Tochigi leather feels good in the hand, and features natural grain and beautiful aging.
Regarding the material used on the inside: We use a high quality material called Ultra Suede from TORAY, a major textile manufacturer. It is very comfortable to the touch and protects your precious fountain pen. I would like people from overseas to experience how good it feels to the touch.
The button closure is made with brass.
Materials used: Tochigi, Japan leather, Toray ultra suede, brass
