JournalBooks Mela Apple Leather Refillable A5 Journal
Mela by JournalBooks — a softcover journal bound in apple leather
Mela takes the pulp, peel and pomace left over from the apple juice industry and binds it into a softcover that feels closer to suede than to plastic. The cover is 39 percent bio-based apple leather, finished in deep black or navy, with a quiet matte hand that develops a little character with use. Inside: 128 sheets of recycled lined paper, a ribbon marker to hold your place and a pen loop on the spine. A grown-up notebook for people who'd rather not carry another piece of vinyl.

Decoration and where it lands
Deboss reads beautifully into the apple-leather grain and is our recommendation for a considered finish. Direct digital print is available in one-colour, full-colour and gloss variants for sharper brand marks or logos with gradients. Mela suits sustainability programs, agency onboarding kits, member gifts and conference welcome packs — a refillable object that stays on the desk long after the campaign closes.
