Nazionale Pueblo Leather Cover

Navy that is closer to slate than to ink

Nazionale is the classic Italian blue, and on Pueblo it comes out dark with the tan of the hide showing through it. It is not the flat navy of a coated leather — it is greyer, softer, and it moves with the light.

The brushed surface keeps it matte, and matte navy is a rarer object than it sounds: most dark blue leather goods are shiny within a year. This one goes the other way, deepening toward slate where your hands sit while the rest stays dry and even.

Dyed through with nothing on top, so the corners deepen instead of turning grey.

2.0–2.2 mm, thinner and softer than our other hides. Bifold: two panels, a modular elastic through the spine, two or three thin notebooks.

The notebook is held on an elastic cord running through the spine, so the block has to bend around the cord. That means softcover notebooks — Midori MD, Stalogy 018, Hobonichi Techo and Cousin, and most sewn softcover journals. Hardcover notebooks do not fit, whatever the outside measurements say.

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.

Personalisation is free: up to 10 characters — initials, a name, a date or a short word — in gold foil, silver foil, or blind debossing with no foil at all. It is placed in the bottom right corner of the front panel, and the impression is permanent: it grows more visible as the leather around it darkens.

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.
