SHOP FAVORITES“Never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things — childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves — that go on slipping, like sand, through our fingers.”
- Salman Rushdie
The very first journal we made was inspired by our founder’s love of the sea. Ever since then, we’ve let our customers steer the ship — asking what designs you’d love to see next.
We rely on your design inspiration to create beautiful, practical, refillable journals that support your everyday writing practice.
❤ Why beautiful? Because the objects you use most should feel meaningful and special. They should bring joy to your heart when you look at them. They should tell a story — so you can tell yours.
❤ Why practical? Because you don’t need built-in pens, ties, or locks to sit down and write. In fact, those things usually just get in the way when you’re racing to capture your next great idea. Instead, our journals are simple and elegant. Just open and write.
❤ Why refillable? Because your story continues.
All SohoSpark journals are bound in vegan leather(also known as pure synthetic leather, polyurethane leather/PU, or faux leather). We choose not to use animal products in our journals because, well, there’s just no need to. Faux leather offers the same silky, luxurious feel and lasting durability as cowhide — plus, it’s scuff- and water-resistant. Find out more about vegan leather here.
"I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."
- Joan Didion
We know how important it is to carry the right journal: one that invites you to sit and fill it. If you aren’t 100% happy with your SohoSpark journal, we’ll gladly refund your full purchase price or help you exchange it for one you love.
I really love this journal. It is gorgeous and feels wonderful to the touch. But the true selling point for me was the fact it is refillable so I can keep enjoying it even after I have finished writing on all the pages.
I received this as a gift from a student, and it is absolutely stunning. Excellent quality and just beautiful. Don't hesitate to purchase--you won't regret the choice!
This is a wonderful gift for young people, who will learn to treasure it. As they write they remember even more things from the past all of which will be read in the far future. What a special treat!
I bought this journal for a friend who is going through a journey and she needs a ‘proper’ journal. Not a flimsy paper journal or one that could get misplaced but one of value - that stands out from the others. When you have something of great quality and value, you tend to treasure it take good care. That’s what the Sohospark journals are - they stand out, great quality and definitely a treasure!
I love wolves and the cover looks so awesome! Every one of these journals is so detailed and durable. I love them!
I love this paper, so official and durable
My SohoSpark journal was a gift and I love writing what I am grateful for every day in it. I was coming to the end and so happy to refill this beautiful leather journal with the same high quality paper. My pen flows so easily and it does not sink through to the backside. It is my bedtime ritual to write one page of what I am grateful for before going to sleep.
I bought this for a college graduation present for my granddaughter, although with a nice pen. I haven't given it to her yet, but I'm really pleased with the quality and I think she'll love it.
Absolutely stunning quality, great buying experience and communication, very quick shipping. One of the best purchasing experiences I have had in recent memory!
I love love love these journals. I have purchased 6 of them so far for myself and some family members gifts. The tree is my favorite, but I purchased the flowers, and the sailing ship. I'm waiting for the butterflies to come back. I have some for different projects...dreams, kindness journal, special prayers, etc. I purchased some stencils and stickers to make the pages even more special to me. I'm totally hooked, and these soho journals are the best of the best.
My mother gave me this beautiful SoHo journal in July for my birthday ---and i saw I would need a refill soon and sent for this, it is perfection and came quickly!
I bought this for my 91 year old mother who is recovering from back surgery. She absolutely loves it! I thought the sunrise was a nice touch because she is getting better with each new day. She said just holding it makes her feel good! This is my first time shopping at Soho Spark but I will definitely buy more from them the quality product, service and even the gift box was first rate.
The journal is very nice and high quality.
I bought several of these journals - one for myself and the others for holiday gifts for my family. They were a big hit! They are simple and beautiful - and the perfect thoughtful gift.
When we sold our boat, our home away from home, I gave the new owners a Soho journal. I always use notebooks to keep a maintenance list or a list of our visitors. I wanted to give the new owners a nice gift that wasn’t pretentious I thought a journal might be a good idea. I was very impressed with the quality of the journal. I was proud to give it to them. They thought it was very nice. I also want to mention that during this Covid holiday the journal was shipped to me in a matter of a couple days. This exceeded my expectation.
"I love the look, feel, quality and size of this journal! This journal is made well. It encompasses high quality workmanship for a great price.The leather looks smooth and shiny, the embossing looks great and the stitching looks perfect. The lined pages are a good quality paper and is a good size with 240 pages... It can fit very easily into my purse or briefcase to take with me when I am on the go. I have looked for different journals over the years and this has been my favorite so far... by far.”

The only thing better than gifting a gorgeous journal? Giving your special someone their choice of cover art. May we present (wink, wink): gift cards!
I’m the founder of SohoSpark (you know, the journal store whose website you’re reading right now). Thanks for being here. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to look around.
I created this company because I believe in the power of personal writing.
Personal writing journals have been part of my story for decades. One recorded my walk with God while I was in school. Another captured a screenplay. And still another recorded the formation of SohoSpark, and my dreams for how this brand would touch the lives of others.
Writing releases powerful emotions and helps you settle into a calm, peaceful state of mind. It allows you to re-frame and understand your own experiences. It creates a record of your life and your ideas that you can look back on, or pass on to future generations.
Through the written word, you can send your mind on new, positive, and challenging adventures. And where your mind goes, your life will likely follow.
Write on,
Michael Wilkes
You already know this: being kind to others makes you happy. And, actually, it's a proven fact that kindness makes you feel happy and feeling happy makes you kinder.
Tracking kindness is a terrific way to keep kindness on our radar and incorporate more of it into our lives. Just as a gratitude makes us more attuned to the things that we’re grateful for, a kindness journal or tracker makes us more aware of those moments of grace. And, especially if we have a goal of recording one (or more) acts of kindness daily, we’ll be more apt to take action.
C'mon. Do it. Who would turn down happiness?
