Help Me Find A Cover For Apica / Life B5 Notebooks?

[LostArk]

As per the title, I'm looking for a leather notebook cover that will fit the B5 sized notebooks from Apica and Life. I know there is a Life branded leather cover, but my OCD won't let me use it with Apica. Thanks!

I've gotten covers from Nanami Paper, however they don't appear to have a B5 size. But they use Gfeller leather for some of their premium covers and if you look at the Gfeller website you'll see the have a bunch of different configurations. Chances are they'd make something custom if they don't list exactly what you want:

I have the Nanami Seven Seas Gfeller cover and it's really nice kip leather.

Thank you for posting that, a new site to me. I am in the opposition position of having a very nice leather wrap and looking for paper that is 260mm by 170mm so that i can fold and sew it into my folder

I was going to post this exact same thing!

 

I also have the Seven Seas kip cover and I've been very pleased with it over the 18 months or so I've used it. Great cover and you will get great service from Gfeller. Highly recommended.

Kakuno notebooks (Japanese B5) fit nicely into my Oberon Design cover. European B5 is similar in size. The Apica notebooks may be thinner than the Kakuno notebooks, so you could probably fit two Apicas into this composition notebook (USA) cover.

 

FPN software will not let me upload my photo and I have no way to down-size it. However, the links below may help.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Those Oberon covers look especially beautiful, but are a bit out of my price range. After a fair bit of googling I came across a seller on Etsy, who made me a custom leather cover for only US$50 shipped! Tanya Shuleshova had my made-to-measure cover done in just one day. I'm incredibly impressed with her service so far. I will update this thread with photos once it arrives!

I was going to suggest Etsy. My first stop for anything bespoke.
