Undyed Buttero, with patina in plain view

Natural Buttero has had nothing added to it. No dye, no pigment, no finish — just vegetable-tanned Walpier leather in the pale, slightly pinkish sand colour the tanning leaves behind.

It will not stay that colour. Undyed veg-tan reacts to daylight and to the oils on your hands, and it does so fast: a few weeks in, the places you hold are already warmer than the rest. Over a year the whole cover moves through honey to a deep amber, and the pattern of where your hands go is written into it permanently. Two natural covers a year old never look the same as each other.

It shows everything in the meantime — a drop of water, a fingerprint, the edge of a coffee cup. If that sounds like a defect, one of the dyed colours is the better choice. If it sounds like the point, this is the hide.

Made in Vilnius, ships in 5–7 working days
Free foil personalisation
A choice of elastic colours, with one spare included

The standard cover uses a modular elastic system and can carry two or three thin notebooks, depending on their thickness. If you need another layout, we can add extra holes and extra elastics before cutting.

The SLOWLINES logo is stamped in the finish you choose for your text: gold foil with gold, silver with silver, blind debossing with no foil on either. We do not mix the two.

A clean, minimal cover designed for daily writing

The construction stays simple on purpose: clean lines, carefully finished edges and enough structure to protect your notebooks without making the cover feel bulky.

These are notebook dimensions, not the outside dimensions of the leather cover.

Check the binding

Our elastic system is designed for softcover notebooks that can bend at the spine. A rigid hardcover is not a suitable fit.

Cover measurements

A5 standard: 220 mm tall × 350 mm wide open; about 170 mm closed.
A5 trifold: 220 mm tall × 450 mm wide open; about 170 mm closed.
A6 standard: 158 mm tall × 250 mm wide open; about 120 mm closed.
A6 trifold: 158 mm tall × 320 mm wide open; about 120 mm closed.

The standard cover is a simple fold. A trifold adds a panel around the outside of the stack. Both can hold a setup with several thin inserts; thickness matters as well as the number of notebooks.

A different notebook?

Measure your closed notebook’s width, height and thickness in millimetres. Tell us how many inserts you want to carry.

Email hello@slow-lines.com before ordering if you are unsure.

Natural leather changes with use

It may darken, soften, gain shine and develop small marks over time – this is part of its character.

To care for your cover, wipe it gently with a dry soft cloth. Avoid soaking, alcohol-based cleaners, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. Let the leather age naturally, and use leather balm only when the surface feels dry.

Dispatch is when your parcel leaves us. Delivery time comes after that.

Tracked delivery from Lithuania

All orders leave Lithuania with tracking. We email the tracking number after dispatch.

Tracked shipping. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.

Lithuania: 1–3 working days.
Other EU countries: 5–10 working days.
United Kingdom: 7–14 working days.
Other supported destinations: 10–21 working days.

These are delivery estimates, not guaranteed arrival dates. Holidays, customs and local postal services can add time.

If your country is available at checkout, we can ship there. If it is not listed, contact us before ordering.

Customs and import charges

No customs duties apply to shipments within the EU. Outside the EU, your destination may charge duties, taxes or handling fees; these are the customer’s responsibility unless stated otherwise at checkout.

30 days after delivery

Standard covers without personalisation can be returned. That includes both made-to-order and Ready to Ship covers.

For our voluntary policy after the statutory withdrawal period, keep the cover unused, in its original condition and packaging, with proof of purchase.

Personalisation and custom sizes

Covers with a personal inscription, a non-standard size or an individually agreed construction cannot be returned simply because you change your mind. Choosing a standard size, leather, colour or elastic does not make a cover non-returnable.

Your statutory rights, including applicable EU withdrawal rights and rights if an item is faulty or not as ordered, remain unaffected. Reasonable inspection does not remove your statutory withdrawal right.

How to request a return

Open your order in your customer account to request a return. You can also email hello@slow-lines.com with your order number and item; a reason is optional for a change of mind.

We will provide the return details. Contacting us helps arrange the return; a statutory withdrawal does not depend on our approval.

Return postage is your responsibility for a change of mind. Contact us first if the item is faulty or we sent the wrong item.

This is a really cool cover—I’ve been using it for about 5 months now. I use it for two standard A6 notebooks and one Midori MD. It’s super convenient! I really love the craftsmanship. The leather ages amazingly well and develops a beautiful patina. I really love the way it looks. The product itself is top-notch quality, and I know what I’m talking about. Like it!

Lovely!
Really as gorgeous as i anticipated and such a perfect customer service too.
Thank you so so much

Really high quality journal cover. Semyon went out of his way to answer all my questions and tailor the product to my needs. I can’t wait to buy more!!!
