My husband raves about Rustico's handcrafted leather journal covers:

"In my travels as a business consultant I always have a need for fine notebooks to capture client requirements. I've had to deal with school notebooks recently - I've just never found anything that I liked that much. Then I got an opportunity to acquire a leather notebook cover from Rustico and I know that I'll be able to hold on to this one for a while. First off, it's customized with leather engraving. I mean, how cool is that??? Secondly, this is quality - I know it from the touch. Thirdly, it is REUSABLE. I love that I can continue to buy inexpensive notebooks, put this cover on it, and continue on with my work. This is going to be a perfect cover for any of the notebooks that I will be taking to work - and I love that it can be placed on any of the notebooks that I would use! Appearance and presentation are important to clients, and I know that my Rustico notebook cover looks sharp! They have a bunch of other leather based products as well, such as custom leather journals, leather binders, and other leather accessories that I love."

Apparently others have found value in Rustico's products. Rustico has provided many different companies with leather photo albums, binders, scripture covers (which I didn't see on the website, but can probably be ordered by phone), and other leather products. Some of these companies include: Deseret Book, Cabella's, Sundance (ski resort and restaurant - menu covers), Timberland, HBO, Disney, TNT, Warner Bros, JP Financials, Wachovia, Lincoln Financials, Rock & Republic Jeans, Burton Snowboards, Richelle... and many, many more.

I have heard from other customers that Rustico's products "are built to last and they do truly look better as time goes on". One other testimonial that I've received from a sucessful entrepreneur is the following: "I have a number of Rustico's products including a 2-tone leather binder (which is the coolest binder I have ever seen), a leather wallet/money clip (which I have in my back pocket), and a business card holder which keeps my reservoir of business cards in my backpack nice and clean for when I need them." Another very cool thing about these products is that they are 100% manufactured in the United States, using US raw materials. They are hand crafted, handmade, and of the finest quality leather.
