Located in the southern region of Italy on the Gulf of Salerno, 24 miles southeast of Naples, Amalfi is a beautiful town and a popular destination for travelers.

Filled with JournalShelf's most exclusive paper, our distressed leather journals feature hand-torn edges and a rough, deeply toothed surface perfectly suited for writing, sketching, painting or mounting photographs. This Amalfi paper is considerably thicker than normal writing paper.

Each page feels like stiff, thick fabric. As they are assembled the amalfi paper pamphlets are individually watermarked before being hand sewn into the original binding.

JournalShelf's Distressed Italian Leather Journals also come filled with Classic Paper or Deckled Paper.

Our best selling Belted Journals are made with a slightly thinner, less toothy, version of Amalfi Paper.

Another distinguishing feature of these distressed Italian leather Journals is the raised spine. This remarkable profile adds distinction to your bookshelf and a touch of old-world charm. The distressed leather covers are soft, thick and wonderful to handle.
