Mr. Darcy Leather from ChicSparrow

In a concerted effort to stay ahead of the game when I can, I contacted Jennifer Harvey at ChicSparrow a few months ago regarding what I wanted to use for this year’s One Book July.

After much digging and hunting on Jennifer’s part, this is the result.

Absolutely stunning.

The leather is firm but molds quickly around the inserts and lays flat immediately on opening. It has a shine to it that will wear away with use; this is the result of the oils being brought to the surface and then polishing with a soft cloth.

This leather will show its use over time, as you can see in the video. It is meant to show scuffs and scratches; in short, it tells its story.
