Are you a writer? Do you keep a journal? If so, Epica is the company for you!
Epica specializes in making the finest Italian distressed leather journals, photo albums, and specialty books around. They also make wooden and custom products too!
“All of our products use signature distressed solid leather construction, subtle inconsistent color marbling, and scarring with handcrafted abrasions. There are never scratches or actual damage to our books done by human hands. Rather it is just a natural characteristic of leather that has not been combed over and intended to look flawless. We’re going for perfection in imperfection, beauty in the differences, and uniqueness in our craft. All of these abrasions or scarring from the animal make each piece unique. And while you may receive an item that has little or none of these markings, it’s important to know that it is a natural part of our Italian journal making process.”
Epica is not a company you come across everyday; it’s special and unique. I recently had the chance to check out one of the journals:

I have never had such an amazing journal to write it. It is soft and very the pages are thick. Not only do they have the above journals, but a vast selection (just click on the picture to go directly to the product page):
