Iona Handcrafted Books

Iona Handcrafted Books Small Seattle studio crafting leather journals and photo albums one at a time, by hand, with love. We strive to be as gentle on the environment as possible.

Iona Handcrafted Books is a bookbinding studio in Seattle, Washington specializing in creating journals by hand using centuries old techniques! All of our books are based on a traditional Italian design Mychal learned in Venice in 1993. Because of their time-tested design and materials, these books are made for adventure! We use archival, acid-free papers that ensure our journals are going to be a

round for the long haul. As an eco-minded studio, each cover is handcrafted using carefully selected surplus leather hides from trusted boot makers, belt makers, and handbag manufacturers. Shop our online store or visit our Fremont workshop to select the perfect book for yourself, or as a gift. We look forward to seeing y’all soon.

Day 3 in Bulgaria… on the road from Plovdiv to Veliko Tarnovo is the lovely Staro Zhelezare. Since 2015, art students have descended upon this town of 400 every summer to paint images of the locals on the village walls alongside international celebrities and politicians. The result is something to behold!
