A note from behind the scenes.

Many of you know Hank Belle as a specialty leather journal line. What you may not know is that it’s always been made inside a growing leather workshop — one that’s been quietly growing over the years.

We’ve recently given that workshop a name: Anselma House

Anselma House is a heritage craft workshop.

Anselma House is where Hank Belle journals are made, alongside a few other small-batch leather lines that have naturally grown out of the same bench and tools.

Once a month, Anselma House will open its doors to the public for a short Open Workshop — a chance to step inside, see the work, and explore the goods in person.

Hank Belle will always remain what it’s been: journals made for writing what matters.

Anselma House is the place they come from.

We will be sharing details about our first Open Workshop day soon.

For those that don’t know me... Hello! I’m Lanae. I’m the maker, designer, and owner of Hank Belle Journals. I started Hank Belle in January 2020 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In those 6 years, Hank Belle has grown. And grown. It has even grown physically out of every space it has ever operated out of — 3 times over the past 6 years. All those spaces were home-based workshops.

I have some exciting news I’ll be sharing next. Stay tuned 🤎
