The world is changing at a lightning pace, and each unfolding event is a story for journalists. They need to be on top of their games to make sure they cover what matters as quickly as possible. For journalism students who are always surrounded by late-night deadlines, field assignments, and a never-ending stream of note-taking, giving them the right gift can be more than just an accessory. It can become a trusted tool to help make their work easier and better.
In a way, leather symbolizes the profession of journalism. Since leather develops a beautiful patina over time, in-depth stories and analyses also improve with time, gaining new readers and offering new insights. With that in mind, let’s explore some of the best leather gifts for journalism students in this blog. We will cover everything, from notebooks and journals to messenger bags, backpacks, and so on.
Why Leather Gifts Suit Journalism Students
Journalism demands tools that can withstand the rigors of daily life, from reporting from the front lines to chasing high-stakes stories in the urban sprawls. That’s why leather makes the case far superior and easier because it covers all the bases in these three important fronts.
Durability
Leather matches any synthetic or natural material in terms of durability, head-to-head. From spills and stains to the wear and tear of going through commutes and rough terrains, there is nothing that genuine leather can’t handle.
Versatility
The versatile nature of the material makes it ideal for custom pieces. When interviewing dignitaries, using a leather notebook and binders, and then slipping them inside a leather briefcase, shows class and elegance.
Investment
It would not be an overstatement to say that leather accessories make the best transition from student essentials to a professional’s daily carry. Think about a leather-bound notebook of a journalism student pairing up with a briefcase of a bureau chief.
Best Leather Gifts for Aspiring Journalists
Aspiring journalists need organization and class in their accessories, and leather brings plenty of both. Whether it is sleek notebooks or spacious backpacks for portability, genuine leather accessories for journalists are designed to support the hustle without compromising style. Here are some categories of items from Pikore’s collection.
Leather Notebook and Journal Covers
Journals and notebooks exceptionally capture the spirit of journalism, as they are sturdy enough to survive in the wild, wild west, but elegant enough to look part of the editor’s desk. So, here are some picks for you in this genre.
Field Notes Notebook
If the name is any indication, the Field Notes Notebook is ideal for the student who is new to the beat, but not for long. Every entry will feel a part of heritage, showing the student that what he does is important, for himself and for society.
Notebook Cover With Shoulder Strap

Journal Refillable
As mentioned earlier, leather is all about longevity and heritage. With the Journal Refillable, you can get a generic notebook and fit it inside the cover. The leather will fade naturally and develop a patina, telling a story as interesting on the outside as there is on the inside.
