Suitcase Staple: Repurposed leather journals

What better place to jot your travel notes than this beauty of a journal, made from repurposed leather and recycled paper. By Dogeared, the collection of soft, supple books come in small (2.5 x 4) and large (4 x 5.5) sizes and range from $32 - $50.

Handcrafted in California, they'll arrive at your doorstep in recycled brown paper bag wrapping, ready for all the salacious scribbles detailing your escapes. After all, a photo album can only capture so many memories.

Available in an array of sassy shades and emblazoned with either a peace symbol or "LOVE," the journals complement Dogeared's line-up of eco-friendly goodies, which include soy travel candle tins, organic shoe sack, lingerie bag, and the hipster belt purse that looks pretty functional for a day of touring, if you can pull of the style.
