Description
The 8×8 Square Reading Journal – Vintage Library in Lilac by Archer & Olive is a dreamy, bookish journal inspired by classic library bindings and quiet reading corners. Wrapped in gentle lilac vegan leather, the cover features subtle geometric embossing that frames a delicate open-book motif in white—clean, elegant, and thoughtfully understated.
Inside, the journal is made with Archer & Olive’s signature ultra-thick 160gsm paper, designed to handle pens and markers without ghosting or bleeding. The lay-flat sewn binding makes it comfortable to write in from cover to cover, while refined details like ribbon bookmarks, a pen loop, and a back pocket keep everything practical and organised.
