Need a little more room in your notebook? 🤍

Here’s a closer look at our Medium Expander option and what that extra room actually gives you.

If you love adding journals, inserts, notes—or simply like a fuller notebook—the Medium Expander gives you more capacity while still maintaining the shape and feel of your Altered 71 notebook.

Sometimes a little extra room makes all the difference.

Three notebooks. Three bright, beautiful, creative women. 🤍

This special order is for a returning customer, her mother, and her sister. Each Agenda Notebook includes an expander upgrade—giving them a little extra room for everything they want to carry.

There’s something especially meaningful about making for someone who comes back—and includes the women she loves. Thank you for trusting me to create these pieces for your family.

Hand-cut. Hand-stitched. Made just for you.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS.

The feel of the leather. The weight of the hardware. The color of the cords. The hand stitching. The personalized touches that make it yours.

Every Altered 71 notebook is handcrafted one at a time—because the smallest details are often the ones that make something truly special.

Some combinations are simply timeless.

This Studio Notebook with Portfolio Insert reminds me so much of .gren , my future daughter-in-law. 🤍

It’s nearly identical to the very first notebook I ever made—and that one was for her.

Classic. Beautiful. Fashionable. Inspiring.

Just like Cheyenne.

It feels especially meaningful to see this design come full circle, years later, as part of Altered 71.

Handcrafted in leather. Made to be carried, used, and loved for years to come.

There’s something different about starting with a blank canvas.

Natural vegetable-tanned leather begins soft, clean and understated—and then time takes over. Every touch, every trip, every day adds depth, character and patina until it becomes unmistakably yours.

This custom Altered 71 notebook was made by hand, one stitch at a time, and personalized for the person who will give it its story.

Made to be used. Made to age beautifully. Made for you.

Prussian Blue + Royal Red might be my new favorite combination. ❤️💙

This B6 Companion has such a good feel in the hand—the size is compact enough to carry, but still gives you plenty of room to actually write.

There is no greater compliment than a customer returning for her sixth Altered 71 notebook. 🤎

This custom leather Bifold will hold family recipes collected since childhood—including favorites made by her mother. Someday, it will be passed down to her daughter.

Engraved in Portuguese with a familiar family sentiment: “Come e cala”—shut up and eat.

Some notebooks are meant to become heirlooms.

I made this passport holder for myself after admiring a classic luxury design that wasn’t exactly within my budget.

So I created my own version in baby blue leather, finished with navy hand stitching and brass hardware. The passport slips easily in and out while staying protected and ready for travel.

This one is mine—but handcrafted passport holders will be coming soon to Altered 71.

Which color combination should I make next?
