Description
An undyed cover that records its first year
Ghost Wax Natural is a vegetable-tanned hide from Conceria Walpier carrying a pale, frosted wax layer over undyed leather. Nothing is dyed and nothing is covered up.
The wax is not a permanent finish, and it is not supposed to be. Where your hand sits — the spine, the front corner, the edge you open it from — the frost wears through first and a warmer honey-caramel tone comes up underneath. Within a few months the front of the cover carries a fairly accurate map of how you hold it.
Marks in the wax are normal, and some covers arrive with a few already in them. That is the wax layer scuffing, not damage to the leather beneath it. The layer is soft on purpose: press a scuff with your thumb and it settles back into the surface, and in any case the whole cover is heading the same way — the frost is meant to go.
Undyed leather also darkens on its own, from daylight and from the oils on your hands. A natural cover a year old sits several shades deeper than the one that came out of the box.
Made to order
- Fits A5 or A6 notebooks — choose the size that matches the book you already use
- Size: A6 — 158 mm tall, 250 mm wide open, about 120 mm closed; A5 — 220 mm tall, 350 mm wide open, about 170 mm closed
- 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.
Sizes & care

A6 notebook — 105 × 148 mm
Choose the A6 cover.
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.

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

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.
