Paper Republic’s leather journals are the kind you buy once and keep for years.
Paper Republic’s leather journals are the kind you buy once and keep for years. They also make refillable notebooks that work with the journals. Everything is made in Europe using materials from family-run businesses, and each product is designed, crafted, prepared, personalised and shipped upon order from their base in Vienna. Their 2026 planners come in daily, weekly and 'timeless'/undated formats, and in multiple size options, but we especially like this daily planner in the pocket size for its simple, distraction-free layout. The open-thread binding lets it lay flat, the 100 g/m², FSC certified & acid-free is fountain pen friendly, and there is even an option to personalise the planner with gold embossing.
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
