Falcon Travelers originated as a small bookmaking shop in 2012. A creative outlet for an overworked IT engineer with a love for pen, paper, paint and an overwhelming need to build and create stuff.
In October 2013 the main focus of the shop shifted from making small booklets to Leather Travelers Notebooks, (Leather) accesories and inserts.

In 2016 we moved away from Etsy and build our standalone website, which is where we still are today.

In 2017 the shop went from a one woman business to a true family business and Martijn and Monique have been creating your notebooks together since that day.

Who are we

We are a small family run business that makes high quality handmade leather goods. Our goal is to make your ideas come to life.

No "off the shelf" solutions, but designed for customization and individually created with attention to detail. Over 28,000 possible variations for the Original Line alone and many available add-on's. Ranging from classical leather tooling to contemporary laser engraving techniques. Our Original Leather Line is handmade and handsewn with traditional leather sewing techniques. With hand burnished edges for a polished finish.

We are a registered Learning/Training company, for those studying to become a Creative Craftsman. Students looking for an internship can contact us through the contact page.

FOUNDER

During my burn-out in 2013 I was looking for a way to organize my personal life and keep it separate from my work. Travelers Notebooks were, and still are, the best way for me to achieve this. I started making my own Leather covers and was asked to make some for others.

The business gradually grew to a point where I had to choose between my job and making Leather Notebooks. In 2015 I quit my IT job to dedicate my attention full time to my business. It's been a steep learning curve, but I love everything about it.
