A Place for What Matters Most
Some moments are too important for just any notebook.
This journal exists for remembrance. For grief. For love that does not end.
It is not meant to be filled quickly. It is meant to be returned to. Again and again.
This is where you write what you never want to forget.
Why This Journal Exists
When someone is gone, we fear losing the details.
Their handwriting. Their voice. The small stories no one else remembers.
Most journals feel temporary. Disposable. Replaceable.
This one does not.
Forest Nine memorial journals are designed to become part of a family’s history. Something that lasts. Something that feels worthy of what you are carrying.
Crafted for Meaning
Each journal is expertly hand sewn using thick, full grain vegetable tanned Horween cowhide leather.
No shortcuts. No glued spines. No mass production.
The leather is substantial in the hand and will soften and gain patina with time. It is meant to age alongside the memories inside it.
Available colors
• Noir
• Cognac
• Espresso
Finished with a wrap closure for protection.
The First Page Matters
You may choose a photo title page or a text only title page, both finished with a translucent overlay, both complimentary.
A pause before the pages begin.
Embossing is available for the front of the leather cover. Names. Dates. Words that matter. Permanently imprinted with heat and pressure.
Paper That Respects the Words
• 180 pages counted front and back
• Thick 80lb archival quality paper
• Smooth finish

• Designed for writing, letters, photos, and keepsakes
This paper is chosen so ink does not bleed and memories do not fade.

Let customers speak for us
from 5471 reviewsMy Forest Nine journal is more beautiful than I ever imagined. The owner, Alyssia, was very patient with me when I had trouble checking out and immediately responded to my email and sent me a custom link (since my old brain just didn’t get it). Her responsiveness and kindness made the actual purchase feel so good and so right. Before sending it, she checked in with me to make sure everything was done as I wanted. I already knew it would be something great, but it was even better! The leather is soft and supple and feels like a cloud in my hands…and it smells AMAZING! My Forest Nine journal is enchanting! I have many (too many) leather journals and 3 that are my favorite, but this new one holds a completely separate place in my heart. Thank you, Alyssia, for making this wonderful piece of art that is priceless to me. I highly recommend Forest Nine if you appreciate something that is hand made, with integrity and intention, just for you.
What a beautiful journal cover! I am so happy that I splurged on this!
Very satisfied with the journal. It is of high quality, beautifully and carefully made and makes me smile every time I use it. Thank you Alyssia.
Trifold with full back pocket, secretarial pocket + small pocket
I am in love with my journal cover. I chose the violet colour and it is aging so beautifully. I have 3 notebooks inside it and I could definitely squeeze in another if I wanted to. Alyssia was so wonderful to work with and her craftmanship is fantastic.
This is actually my second purchase. My first was an oxblood in A5 and I fell so in love with it I needed an A6 immediately.
I got the red with silver elastic. I purchased a small star for the side and a black and silver geode for the clasp. The leather is beautiful and soft but firm enough to feel sturdy. It comes with 4 elastic already and they also include extra bands in your color and in black.
Stunned as always by the quality for the price, even the box and bag it comes in feels luxury. I just know I'll be making another purchase soon as I'm slowly replacing the journals I have with these 😄
This is now my second time ordering from forest nine and as expected the quality is amazing! An issue had come up with my order but Alyssia was extremely fast to resolve it. I now have 3 leather journal covers and I couldn't recommend this business enough ☺️
The most stunning leather journal I am absolutely blown away!!!!
The quality on this journal cover is unreal!
My second journal and I wish I had a purpose for a third one just because I love them so much!
Love my new journal cover! It took a bit longer than expected to arrive but once delivered, I could not be happier!
I am delighted with my journal cover, the craftsmanship is of superior quality, I actually cried when I received it, I was so happy! Alyssia is a lovely person to communicate with and the personalisation and charm look beautiful. Also the packaging is incredible and it’s telling that a lot of love and care went into making and sending my cover. Thank you so much Alyssia! I will definitely be ordering again 😊
Absolutely beautiful books, arrived quickly, and the personalization came out perfect!
I ordered the B5 trifold cover and it's gorgeous. It's very difficult to find leather covers this size, so this is a true gem! I really appreciated all the little details that came with the cover: the handwritten note, extra elastics in different colours that match the cover, the dust bag, etc. And the customer service is above expectations. Very happy with this product and I highly recommend it!
