I wanted Kris Kringle to look like the Santa you’d find in an old Christmas storybook, with kind blue eyes and a snowy white beard. I’ve always loved how familiar things like that can take you right back to being a kid at Christmas.
My Signature Series is where I bring my original paintings to our leather notebook covers. For Kris Kringle, I paired my Santa portrait with cream-white pebbled leather and a Christmas-red interior. On the back, you’ll find my embossed JP seal.
I imagined this being something you pull out every December, right alongside the ornaments you’ve had for years. A place for your Christmas plans, the recipes you make every year, and the little things you’ll want to remember.
Kris Kringle, our newest Signature Series A5 Traveler’s Notebook, arrives Friday, November 13 at 10 AM CT.
