The Slip Notebook Cover – City Series

$88.00

If writing stuff down is your thing, how about a slip cover with beautiful Horween leather, designed to precisely fit the replaceable/swappable Moleskin Cahier notebook. The notebook is held in place by sliding the rear cover through a handstitched leather strap in the back, leaving the cover free of stitching to be engraved with a city/town/neighborhood of your choice. Delivered with one notebook installed, easily replaceable with offerings from Amazon or your local paper goods store.

Map is laser engraved on the entire front cover, wraps spine, and fades out on the rear cover. North is always up because we’re not anarchists.

We have several major cities available, and can add a custom map of anywhere for an artwork fee.

“Large/Journal” size Moleskine Cahier notebook is standard. “XL/Desk” size available.

    Custom Map Location*

    Just give us a general idea of the location, and let us know if you'd like any particular portions of the map to be centered on the cover, or any parts you want to include. That will help us get a general location/scale of the map, and then we'll contact you before we make the Slip to be certain the map includes all the details/locations you'd like.

    Monogram Location/Size Notes

    For monograms, we keep them on the smaller side, but visible. We size them based on the size of the product to maintain a proportional and classy look: near the closure on a watchband, on the bottom right front cover of notebooks, centered on the front of purses or clutches, etc.. If you prefer a different location, give us an idea here and we'll contact you to make sure we engrave where you'd like.

    Engraved Message Options

    Typed or Handwritten*

    Typed: you type in a message here on the site, style it as you wish, and we engrave it.
    Handwritten: you/your kids/your highly advanced dog writes a message on a piece of paper, you take a photo of it, we engrave it.

    We like to 'somewhat hide' personal messages, so that they're not prominently displayed while the product is 'just sitting out,' but is visible to the owner/user when they want to see it.  For example, that usually means inside the wallet when possible, or inside the front cover of a notebook/FFFolio, or even on the back side of a mouse pad/desk pad.  Of course, we can engrave wherever you'd like, just let us know.

    Message Text*

    Enter the text you would like engraved (see 'engraved message location' above for our standard engraving location on this item).  Let us know in the special instructions box below if you'd like it somewhere else and we will contact you to verify prior to making your product.

    • $

    Handwritten Message Upload*

    • (max file size 2 GB) $

    For best results, write clearly with a black pen (or fine-tip sharpie) on an unlined piece of white paper. Take a photograph of it with your phone from overhead with minimal shadows in good light. We'll contact you if we have issues with the photograph, but it's usually a pretty straightforward process.  If you mess something up you can just scribble it out and write the word again; we'll make sure we have the text looking correct before we make your product.

    Message Location/Size Notes

    For engraved messages, we tend to place them more subtly on a product: The inside cover of a notebook, inside of a wallet, inside of a watchband/hidden when worn, etc., because they tend to be more 'personal' messages that usually want to be more discreet. If you prefer a different location, give us an idea here and we'll contact you to make sure we engrave where you'd like.

    • $

    Corporate Logo or Graphic Options

    Logo/Graphic/Artwork Upload*

    • (max file size 2 GB) $

    Black & white or three-color grayscale logos work best in the best resolution you have available (vector graphics--ai/eps/etc.--are even better). Feel free to contact us with questions on “engraveability” of your logo. Pricing assumes no photoshop/illustrator work necessary for logo to engrave well.

    Please don't ask us to engrave anything you don't have the rights to (team logos, etc.)

    Graphic location/size notes

    For corporate logos or graphics, we tend to engrave them more prominently on a product: Front of a notebook, outer cover of a wallet, etc. We'll contact you to finalize location after your order, but If you'd like to give us an idea where you'd like it that's great.

    Anything you'd like to tell the maker as they're making your product?

    Maybe we asked you to include a special note in your order...or maybe you just wanna say you really like turtles. You do you.

    We can't guarantee that we can accommodate special requests, but we do our best.

  •  

    Typically, we include a short 'thank you' note to the purchaser on the inside of the shipping box, because, well...thanks!

    But if you're getting this for someone else, it might be weird for them to see a note to you, so we'll gladly write a message to them from you instead. But maybe it'd be weird if it's not in your handwriting? Nah, probably not, should be cool. Worth the risk, isn't it?

    Anyway, you type it here and we'll write it for you--just don't be racist/homophobic/etc.; that won't make it on the box.

Best personalized gift ever

My father n law has everything you can think of so it’s hard to buy him a unique gift. The journal cover with the inscribed map location to his cabin was the perfect present. It was beautifully done, top quality leather and great workmanship by the owner. He took the time to ensure the map location was perfect, which wasn’t easy given the cabin is in a remote part of the mountains in NC. Thank you for making the most unique gift!

Awesome custom gift

Got custom ones for my team at work (star on the headquarters, subtle team logo where the city name shows on the front, quote on the inside). Looks great and beats the pants off the typical cheap branded crap you get as a work gift. And FFF was great to work with on it!

Proud to give this gift

I selected a personalized notebook for my brother-in-law for Christmas. It is wonderful. The artist guided me in the design and I am thrilled with it. Thank you so much. I will be making more purchases in the future.
