Framboise Leather Journals

Pink Leather Journal Covers in Framboise

Framboise is French for raspberry, and the name is accurate. If you are picturing blush, dusty rose or baby pink, this is not it. Measured off our own photographs it is about as dark as Bordeaux, with roughly a third more red and nearly twice the blue, and that blue is what tips it out of wine and into pink.

Framboise Next to the Reds

• Bordeaux is the wine red closest to Framboise in depth. It has less blue, so you will never read it as pink.
• Rouge is a bright, tomato-leaning red with almost no blue.
• Rosé is a pale salmon pink, and you can only have it as the pocket leather of our two-tone covers.

Five Models, Three Kinds of Layout

• Alpine: trifold, six elastics, a zip pocket and a pen loop. Choose it if you run a lot of notebooks.
• Gabriel: bifold, five elastics, three chevron-cut card slots and a mountain embossed into the leather, shown on the A5 Gabriel page.
• Aurora: bifold, three elastics, card pockets and an angled pocket with a pen loop.
• Carolina: trifold, three elastics, a zip pocket inside and a flap that closes on two snaps, shown on the A5 Carolina page.
• Rowena: trifold, three elastics, slip pockets on both sides and no zip.

If you are unsure which shape suits you, start with the bifold and trifold pages.

Pink in Eight Sizes

All five come in Field Notes, Pocket Size, A6, B6, Regular, A5, B5 and A4. If you plan in a Hobonichi Techo, a pink leather notebook cover in A6 takes it; for a Hobonichi Cousin or a Leuchtturm1917 Medium you want A5. Regular is the pink traveler's notebook cover, sized for 4.3" × 8.3" (11 × 21 cm) refills. The sizes follow standard paper, so you can keep the notebooks you already buy.

If Your Size Shows as Sold Out

Stock is set per color on each product page, and Framboise is not always in stock. When the size you want shows as sold out, you can still order the same cover in the six base colors; the nearest of those is Bordeaux, and on Alpine you also have Rouge. Do not order a different leather expecting it to look like this one.

How This Pink Changes

Of the four bright leathers, Framboise looks the most even in our photographs: the pale streaks you can see on the orange and the red are faint here. It is still waxed Crazy Horse, though, so a hard crease or a fingernail will leave a lighter line, and your thumb will work most of it out again. Where you hold your cover, the pink slowly goes deeper.

Names and Extras

You can have every model personalized with laser engraving, heat stamping, gold foil or silver foil. The six leather inserts list Framboise as a color too. Notebook refills and journal charms fit the same elastics, and you will find the full range on the leather journals hub.
