I LOVE my binder... the feel, the smell, the look are all exquisite. I've ordered the journal and can't wait to get my hands on it.

I saw an ad on Instagram from Murdy Creative Co. for custom screenplay covers, and became intrigued. Once I had the money, I wanted them to make a custom cover for a screenplay I wrote. It came out beautifully & the detail for the logo I created was accurate and well done. The material is so soft, and seems like it will last a long time. It was truly a great experience, the whole team was helpful, replied quickly, and answered all questions I had. Strongly recommend.

I recently purchased an imperfect Murdy No. 1 Binder. The only complaint I can have about the product is that my imperfect binder was almost too perfect. You have to really be looking to notice anything wrong. The overall feel and look of this binder is second to none. Feels great to hold and is a wonderful addition to my collection.

I ordered several custom Murdy No 1 binders, one for each custom radio controlled quarter scale model car. The binders are beautifully made and of quality through and through. The customer service I experienced while placing my order - the time and care to make sure everything exactly as I desired, pairs perfectly with these binders and my cars. Simply beautiful. Thank you.

How do I maintain the leather?

Our leather is designed to last for decades. From time to time our leather may require some additional care. We recommend using saddle soap such as Fiebing's White Saddle Soap to buff out scratches and scuffs. Our premium leather is infused with a natural wax layer through both sides of the hide, rendering them both waterproof and virtually maintenance free. Over time the leather will gain a patina from elements such as sunlight, oils from hands, humidity, temperature, or ambient aerosolized particles. It is impossible to know how these variables will change the look of the leather, however it is almost always for the better.
