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.
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.
Purchased this gorgeous journal for my son who lives in CA. He is a vegetarian and I wanted him to have a soft and luxurious leather-feel journal that is environmentally responsible.
Excellent product, high quality. Fast shipping.
My daughter got this as a xmas gift for me and it arrived on time thanks again for the service
I bought a couple of these for myself, so when my brother was in need of a unique Journal I knew exactly where to find it. It shipped super fast, and he absolutely loved it! These are very high quality, and the refills make all the difference. I love having really nice notebooks, but have always been hesitant to write or draw in them because I didn't want to "ruin" them. With these journals I don't have to worry about it! I can always change my mind about what's on the inside.
This journal is beautiful. It's so soft and smooth and feels great in the hand. The cats on the front are fun and is perfect for any cat lover. I love that the pages are numbered and the paper is fountain pen friendly. Most importantly it's vegan and cruelty free. It arrived quickly and packaged nicely in tissue paper and a box. A high quality product and a high quality company. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this journal.
I gave it as a gift and it is loved and cherished.
This journal is beautiful. It looks and feels like genuine leather but it's vegan and cruelty free...a very important aspect for me. I have three different versions of this journal and each one brings me so much joy. The quality is superb. You can tell how close they paid attention to detail. The lined notebook that is included is fountain pen friendly and the pages are numbered. Each journal is beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and its own box. Another nice addition are the two pen loops that you can stick inside the cover. You will not be disappointed if you purchase one of these journals!
This journal is beautiful and cruelty free. It's lightweight and the dogs on the cover are cute and playful. I own three versions of this journal and love them all. The refills are great too. Nice paper and the pages are numbered. I am very happy with this purchase.
"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?
