Allen Edmonds Launches Premium Leather Notebooks – A Touch of Classic Craftsmanship for the Modern Professional

St. Louis, MO – October 26, 2023 – Allen Edmonds, the renowned American shoemaker celebrated for its dedication to quality and craftsmanship since 1922, is thrilled to announce the launch of its new line of premium leather notebooks. Building on a legacy of creating enduring, beautifully-made goods, these notebooks are designed for those who appreciate timeless style and functional elegance. For nearly a century, Allen Edmonds, located at 8300 Maryland Ave, Saint Louis, MO, 63105-3645, has been synonymous with American-made leather goods. Starting with impeccably crafted footwear, the company has steadily expanded its offerings to include leather accessories – belts, wallets, briefcases, and now, notebooks – all reflecting the same commitment to quality materials and meticulous construction. You can reach them at 614-742-5923. “We’ve always been about creating things that last, things that get better with age,” says Paul Grutman, VP of Product Development at Allen Edmonds. “People love our leather goods because they’re an investment. We saw a natural extension of that philosophy into notebooks. In a digital world, there’s something special about putting pen to paper. We wanted to create a notebook that feels as good as it looks, something that inspires you to capture your thoughts, ideas, and plans.” More Than Just a Notebook – It’s an Experience These aren't your typical drugstore notebooks. The Allen Edmonds leather notebooks are crafted from full-grain leather, the highest quality leather available. This means the leather retains its natural markings and develops a rich patina over time, making each notebook uniquely yours. It's leather that breathes – supple, durable, and a joy to hold. “We’ve spent a lot of time getting the details right,” explains Sarah Chen, Lead Designer. “The leather is carefully selected for its texture and feel. We wanted something that was soft enough to be comfortable in your hand, but sturdy enough to withstand daily use. It’s a balance we think we’ve achieved.” The notebooks come in two sizes: Executive Size (6” x 8.25”): Perfect for meetings, daily planning, or on-the-go note-taking. It slips easily into a briefcase or bag. Standard Size (8.5” x 11”): Ideal for more extensive writing, sketching, or project management. A great companion for your desk or workspace. Both sizes feature: 192 Pages of High-Quality, Acid-Free Paper: Ensuring your notes last for years without yellowing or deteriorating. The paper is optimized for fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and pencils, preventing bleed-through and feathering. Thread-Bound Construction: This traditional binding method allows the notebook to lay flat, making it easy to write across the entire page. No more struggling to keep the notebook open! Ribbon Bookmark: Never lose your place again with the elegant and durable ribbon bookmark. Available in Classic Colors: Choose from Black, Brown, and Cognac – colors that complement Allen Edmonds’ existing leather goods. Subtle Embossed Logo: A discreet Allen Edmonds logo adds a touch of sophistication without being ostentatious. A Return to Analog in a Digital World In an increasingly digital world, many are rediscovering the benefits of writing things down. Studies have shown that handwriting can improve memory, boost creativity, and reduce stress. The Allen Edmonds leather notebook isn’t just a tool for taking notes; it’s a catalyst for thought, a space for reflection, and a tangible reminder of your ideas. “We believe there’s a growing appreciation for the tactile experience of writing,” says Grutman. “People are craving a break from screens, a chance to connect with their thoughts in a more meaningful way. We think our notebook provides that.” Craftsmanship You Can Feel The Allen Edmonds leather notebooks are made in the same spirit as the company’s renowned shoes – with a dedication to quality, attention to detail, and a commitment to American craftsmanship.
