Olive Buttero Leather Trifold Cover

An olive wrap with a green lining behind it

The trifold in green Buttero, flap folding over the fore-edge — 70 mm on A6, 100 mm on A5.

Because a wrap shows its inside every time you open it, the pairing matters more here than on a bifold. This one opens onto a pale matte green: the flesh side of the same hide, never dyed and never coated. The contrast between the two greens is most of what you look at while the cover is open on a table.

Vegetable-tanned green shifts warmer under light, so the outside travels toward moss while the lining stays roughly where it started. After a year the two sides are further apart than on the day it was cut.

2.2–2.4 mm, firm enough to hold the wrap shape instead of relaxing into a curl.

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.

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.
