Frequently Asked Questions
What is VOSKET?
VOSKET is a refillable leather journal system designed for thinking, drawing, writing, and creative practice over time. The leather journal remains in use, while notebook refills can be removed and replaced as pages fill.
How does the refillable system work?
Each VOSKET journal is designed to hold replaceable notebook refills. When a refill is full, it can be removed and replaced with a new one, allowing the same leather journal to continue through new ideas, notes, sketches, and projects.
What is the journal made from?
Each journal is handcrafted in Australia from Italian vegetable-tanned leather, organic cotton elastic, and solid brass hardware. The notebook refills are made from 100gsm FSC-certified Italian paper with recycled kraft covers.
What is vegetable-tanned leather?
Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural leather that softens, darkens, marks, and develops a patina through use. These changes are part of the material and make each journal more personal over time.
Will the leather mark or change over time?
Yes. The leather is designed to soften and develop character through handling, movement, and daily use. Marks, tonal changes, and patina are natural features of vegetable-tanned leather.
What is the Date of Craft?
The Date of Craft is the date each journal is made. It is pressed into the leather as a record of the object’s beginning and becomes part of the journal’s history as it is used over time.
What paper is used in the refills?
VOSKET notebook refills are made from 100gsm FSC-certified Italian paper. The paper is suitable for fountain pens and a wide range of writing and sketching tools.
Are the refills available in different page styles?
Yes. VOSKET refills are available in blank, ruled, and dotted layouts.
What sizes are available?
VOSKET journals and refills are available in A6, A5, and A4 sizes.
Can I replace the refills with any notebook insert?
VOSKET journals are designed for VOSKET notebook refills. Other inserts of a similar size may fit, but we recommend using VOSKET refills for the best fit and function.
How many refills does the journal hold?
Each VOSKET journal is designed to hold 2 notebook refills, allowing different notes, sketches, projects, or page layouts to sit within the same leather journal system.
Is VOSKET suitable for artists and designers?
Yes. VOSKET is designed for people who move between thinking, drawing, writing, planning, and creative work. The refills are suitable for notes, sketches, fragments, references, lists, and ongoing projects.
How should I care for the leather?
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct heat, and strong sunlight. If the leather gets wet, gently blot it with a soft dry cloth and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid household cleaners, solvents, and alcohol-based products.
Is VOSKET sustainable?
VOSKET’s approach to responsibility begins with longevity. The leather journal is designed to remain in use, while the paper refills are replaced as they fill. This reduces the need to replace the entire object each time the pages are full.
Where is VOSKET made?
VOSKET journals are handcrafted in Melbourne, Australia. The refills are made in Australia using 100gsm FSC-certified Italian paper.
Does each journal look the same?
No. Natural variations in grain, tone, and texture are part of vegetable-tanned leather. Each journal will soften, mark, and develop differently through use.
