Pueblo 5-Ring Leather Binder PLT5001 (Mini 5 Size)

This 5-ring leather binder uses genuine Pueblo leather with a brushed texture that gives off the most dynamic aging of all leather types. The surface of the authentic Italian leather is deliberately buffed by craftsmen using a special gold scraper. Enjoy the rustic look of the leather paired with the gold back plating when it is new. As you handle the leather more frequently, the texture lies flat for a much more distinct luster and glossy appearance. The more you use it, the darker the color becomes.

Mini 5 is the ultimate compact size that is easy to carry around for all occasions. It fits easily in your palm, and you can slide it into shirt pockets or a small pouch. Minimalist, light, and thin, Mini 5 Size opens up the possibility of capturing ideas and thoughts wherever you go.

Point 1: The characteristic of the leather retains oil well and will age and achieve a charming patina faster than other leathers. This ring leather binder will resonate with users who love the aging transformation of leather.

Point 2: The design of the leather binder allows the pages to lay flat and open to more than 180 degrees, so it is flexible and easy to use in any environment.

Point 3: The 11mm (0.4") rings hold just the necessary amount of pages that are most important to your project, and hardly get in the way of writing and use.

Some people enjoy the contours of the leather against ring hardware as the leather becomes supple over time. However, we recommend using a Leather Ring Supporter if you want to slow down that effect.

Natural and rustic expression of leather

Pueblo leather surfaces are intentionally buffed to create a natural and rustic look, with uneven coloring and scratches. It comes from the same high-quality leather as Liscio but further emphasizes the irregularities and scratches of the natural leather expression. The leather is repeatedly infused with oil in the tanning process to bring out the luster of the material. The result is a ring leather binder that holds an enticing scent that is long-lasting. The unique texture and dynamic aging will speak to people who enjoy how leather transforms over time with use.

A leather with character and the most dynamic aging process

Both rustic and sophisticated, the process that created the leather for Pueblo was pioneered by long-established tannery BADALASSI CARLO in Tuscany, Italy, to fully utilize and honor the animal and leather by-products in this craft. Coming also from the rare shoulder leather of a cow, Pueblo leather creatively utilizes the less pristine parts and transforms them into one of the most unique leather textures you’ll ever feel. The more you use it, the more the rustic leather expression becomes smooth over time, giving it a velvety and glossy appearance.

Expert craftsmanship in the leather and spine

Each Pueblo 6-ring leather binder holds some degree of unique markings that belong to you only. We employed the highest quality Italian craftsmanship to create a single piece of leather with even thickness. To keep the beauty of the leather as even as possible, not only on the surface but also on the underside, the craftsmen repeatedly insert the skiving blade and shave off the useless pile. The light and dark markings on the reverse side are evidence that each piece is carefully crafted and authentic. The natural finish of the leather is complemented by a gold backplate. The leather binder’s spine is strained and shaved meticulously to make it easy to open and lies flat at 180 degrees.

Savor the unique markings of authentic leather 

Pueblo leather is developed to embrace the irregularities, wrinkles, and scratches that occur on natural leather. PLOTTER purposefully retains the individual differences of leather to show the charm of leather. Leather is a natural material from animals, so it has individual differences and flavors that cannot be found in man-made products. The expression of the leather is not uniform due to blood vessels, small scratches, linear wrinkles, or uneven color bands while undergoing processing. This is not a defective product, but a sign of real leather. We hope you will enjoy the unique characteristics of your ring leather binder, including its original flaws, and the way it changes over time. This product comes with a certificate of quality. The tag, issued by the Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Association, guarantees that the leather is vegetable-tanned without the use of chemicals.
