How it works

why the grand voyageur?

We’ve searched far and wide for the best raw materials and craftspeople to create the perfect travel companion. And here it is – the grand voyageur:

keep your life organized

The grand voyageur is designed to hold all your daily essentials in one place, to minimise the size in your pockets and to last a lifetime. In the picture it shows a real grand voyageur in daily use which holds: 2x Notebooks, 1x Calendar, 1x Passport, 2x Credit Cards, 1x Driver License, 5x Business Cards, 1x Receipt and 1x Fountain pen

like a good wine, it just gets better with age

The benefit of having high quality vachetta leather is how it will develop over time. While beautiful to begin with, it develops a wonderful patina, adding character and personality to your grand voyageur. Unlike other notebooks which are designed to wear out, the grand voyageur leather cover is designed to last a lifetime and to grow with your needs.

adapts to your daily needs

The grand voyageur is completely modular – that is, there’s no fixed way you have to use it. Your way is the right way. Our grand voyageur is designed to use a simple ribbon system which easily holds 2 notebooks, whether it’s graph paper, squared paper, lined, plain or dotted, or a calendar, card and cash holder or zip pocket inserts. By adding more ribbons you can add more inserts. We understand each person is different so we don’t try to limit you, we try to make it your own and be flexible.
