That first cup of coffee in the early morning moments before the rest of my family opens their eyes. I sit, sip, think, day dream and more often that not – I write. My thoughts for the day, things to do, hopes and ideas all go down with pen and paper. It’s the small things in life like this that brings quality to the rest of my day.
The Brand
From the first time I took a look at OleksynPrannyk Leather Good Co. I was impressed with their story and the handcrafted quality of their products. From totes, laptop bags, duffles and journals OleksynPrannyk puts craftsmanship and attention to detail in every piece. OleksynPrannyk is a family owned business based in Mooresville, NC and built on the foundation of quality and creativity.
Our parents encouraged us, from our early childhood in Ukraine, to find our true calling in life. They told us it wouldn’t just appear one day; it would take trial and error. As we grew up, we did many interesting things, things we enjoyed, each time thinking we had found our calling. And then something else would come along. It was not until we were grown and had developed more of a sense of who we are that we began to understand that our calling was in creating. By creating, my family and I share who we are with others. — OleksynPrannyk
The Journal
I was sent one of the journals and had no idea what to expect. The first thing that I noticed was the attention to detail in the packaging. I mean any company that takes the time to give their product the best presentation in packaging definitely has my attention.
All I could think was “this was obviously hand-wrapped” and that small thing meant a lot. Once I opened the package I was so surprised by the details given to make this journal something special just for me. From the pink sticking to the stamped lettering of my name and – wait for it folks – a heart! OleksynPrannyk thought of everything!
The Small Things
As I explored the journal from outside in that pink stitching caught my eye. It was perfectly straight – oh and I think I mention PINK! Opening the journal the first thing I did was feel at the pages. If you’re a journal lover you know the pages are important! They are smooth, not too thin and not too thick – the quality was obvious.
This journal was perfect. It was perfect just for me. I could find a place here between these pages during those early morning quiet moments to store my thoughts, dreams, ideas and passions.
Then I got to the back of the journal and noticed the pocket – so discreet but still so carefully done. This will be perfect for business cards or that slip of paper I write a quick thought on.
Oh and then there’s the page saver – you can look at it and see the time put into to making it just right. These are such a small things but they each proves that OleksynPrannyk’s attention to details and quality is at the top of what they do.
There’s Still More
Now don’t forget, I mentioned above that OleksynPrannyk offers far more than just journals. So be sure to head over to their site and see the quality, design, craftsmanship and the small things they do to make OleksynPrannyk Leather Goods Co. stand out among the rest!

That is a beautiful journal. I also love the packaging that it came in! It is always nice when a company goes above and beyond with details.

I love a good leather journal! but these are also great for a special gift for a father in your life too.
That’s awesome! Yes, the are the personalization makes it a great gift idea!
This looks like a really great journal! My biggest journal complaint is that it can be tough to find journals where the lines aren’t so wide. I like the spacing in this one! I also really love that it’s a small, family owned business in NC!
It really is!! Oh, I always need lines and yes I love them wider too. No lines for me and my journals would love a bit hectic…lol Local is always a fave for me!! Thanks so much for coming by Mary!
This looks like a very well made journal. I love that it has a leather binding on the outside .

I love family owned companies. You know that the brand has a solid foundation. I think their products are lovely! I can’t wait to see more and maybe shop for myself.
Me Too Karen!! It gives me that added assurance that it’s more than a profit thing for them. Be sure to go take a look – the pieces are awesome!
The little things in life are the ones that end up meaning the most. I love going back and reading old journals of mine, seeing where my head was and how I have changed. Small moments make life worth living.
They truly are Jessica!! Oh I read mine from Junior High and it was eye-opening – I’ve changed so much and so little in different areas of who I am. It’s amazing to look back on.
I love the heart by your name, and all the little details. Thanks for introducing us to this brand! #MMBH
Thanks Katy! I thought it was such a unique touch!! Thanks for coming by and being a part of #MMBH
I would love to get a personalized bag! It has been my dream for the longest time now. however, all the brand including Tumi are very expensive. Does this one fit the bill?
Hi Sona! Yes, custom leather can get pricey at times. I always judge my decision on the quality of the product. I don’t feel OleksynPrannyk is too pricey but the price definitely matches the quality of the items.
I have been talking about journaling for a long, long time. This one sounds like a great one to get started with. Very pretty!
Hi Robin! Journals are such a great way for me to relax. I think I started journaling in the 6th grade. This is an awesome journal and definitely very unique.
