Animal Print Book & Journal Sleeve with Pocket (Charms Sold Separately)
Couldn't load pickup availability
This series originally started with a few green animal prints. I didn't expect them to become so popular, but they quickly became one of my best-selling book sleeve styles.
So I decided to keep the same idea and add more little animal prints in different colors.
Each sleeve features a printed pure cotton front pocket with a coordinating solid-color body — linen for the green versions, and a linen-cotton blend for the other colors.
Inside, the sleeve is lined with soft, plush light grey faux suede to give books and journals a little extra protection.
Product Details

· Angled exterior pocket for pens, phone, notecards, bookmarks and other small essentials

Size
Classic A5 Size: 7.7" × 9.3" (19.5 × 23.5 cm)
Suitable for A5 planners, many paperbacks, Kindle and small notebooks.
Leather Strap
The side loops also fit a strap if you'd like to carry it over your shoulder. We have a leather strap available separately — 39.4" (100 cm), 4 mm thick.
Please Note
Because the printed fabric is cut from a larger repeating pattern, the placement of the animals and other details will vary from sleeve to sleeve. The one you receive may not have exactly the same pattern placement as the photos.
I also continue to make small adjustments to my products whenever I find a better material or construction detail. This may include changes to the lining, fabric, hardware, embellishments or other components, so product photos may not always reflect the very latest version.
Due to differences in fabric thickness and texture, the finished size may vary slightly between fabric options and small production batches. Measurements are approximate.
The cat charm shown in some of the photos is not included with the book sleeve and needs to be purchased separately.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Why Made by Frey?
Why Made by Frey?
I think you'll find something a little different here — even if you can't quite put your finger on it at first. That's because a lot of the care goes into the parts you don't immediately see.
Many of my fabrics require cutting each panel one by one to make sure the prints and patterns line up just right. You won't find generic templates or factory patterns here — even the simplest pouch uses the best zippers and carefully chosen materials that elevate the whole piece.
I select fabrics and hardware with a lot of intention. Most materials are premium — YKK zippers, designer prints, and hand-woven textiles that are beautiful but expensive. If it adds quality and feeling, I choose it.
Each item is handmade in small batches by me and a small group of women artisans — many of them moms — who sew with patience and care. We test, adjust, and refine designs based on real feedback, paying attention to the little things that make a piece feel warm, personal, and alive.
These are small treasures meant to be used and loved every day — pieces that bring quiet joy and thoughtful craftsmanship into daily life.
Should I wait for a sale?
Should I wait for a sale?
Honestly, I wouldn't.
I rarely run big holiday sales or deep discounts. Handmade work and good materials already cost a lot, so I price my pieces as fairly as I can all year round.
I also work with many limited fabrics. Once I use up a fabric, I may never be able to find it again, which means some designs won't be restocked.
If you've found something you love, I'd recommend getting it while it's’s still available.
Should I add Shipping Protection?
Should I add Shipping Protection?
Shipping Protection is an optional service provided by our third-party partner, Seel (Worry-Free Purchase). It helps protect your order in case of eligible loss, damage, or theft during transit.
If your protected order is eligible for a claim, simply submit a claim through Seel's claim portal. You'll be asked to log in and provide your preferred payout method. Once your claim is approved, Seel will issue the reimbursement directly to you.
If you run into any issues during the claim process, I'm always happy to help contact Seel's support team and follow up with you. I've personally helped customers through the process, and claims have been successfully resolved.
For higher-value orders, I highly recommend adding Shipping Protection at checkout. Lost or stolen packages are uncommon, but they can happen. If the unexpected does occur, Shipping Protection makes the claims process much easier and provides extra peace of mind for both of us.
Please note: Shipping Protection is optional and must be selected during checkout. If it isn't added before your order is placed, it can't be added afterward or applied retroactively.

Can I customize my order?
Can I customize my order?
Custom orders are currently closed. I'd love to offer this again in the future, but for now I need to focus on what's already in the shop. If you have a question about a specific product, feel free to email shop@madebyfrey.com
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
Every photo on my website is of the real product—I don't use AI-generated images or heavily edited renders.
I always try to photograph each piece as accurately as possible, though lighting and different screens may cause slight differences in color.
Not every handmade item varies in the same way. Pieces made primarily by machine sewing—such as fabric pouches and bags—will look very close to the photos.
However, items with hand-stitched details, such as embroidered faces or expressions, are never completely identical. We carefully sew each one by hand, so while the overall look stays true to the design, every piece has its own subtle personality.
Can you gift wrap my order?
Can you gift wrap my order?
Yes. Just leave a note at checkout if your order is a gift.
I'm always happy to include a handwritten message at no extra charge. Simply add your note at checkout, and I'll make sure it's tucked into the package with care.
Why are so many of your designs about cats?
Why are so many of your designs about cats?
Haha — of course I love them. But it's more than that: cats remind me to stay true to myself, to rest when needed, and to move with quiet confidence. I also love other animals, but making cat pouches and charms captivates me — I want to be the best at it in the world.
Do you make everything yourself?
Do you make everything yourself?
The shop has grown, and so has the team. I'm still hands-on with every step — design, fabric selection, and quality control — and I work with a small, dedicated team: two sewists, three hand-stitchers, and one crocheter/knitter — and growing.
Can I see my item before it ships?
Can I see my item before it ships?
Yes! Since all sales are final, I want you to feel completely confident before your order is on its way. Just leave a note at checkout or email shop@madebyfrey.com and I'll send you photos or a short video of your item before it ships.

Animal Print Book & Journal Sleeve with Pocket (Charms Sold Separately)
I love this so much! Perfect to put my 2 A5 notebooks that I use to practice calligraphy and another smaller book for doodles. Great quality and sewing - I love the inner lining that makes it a bit water proof? Definitely prevented my notebooks from becoming all soggy when my water bottle spilled in my bag. Thank you also for the discount coupon and little sticker gifts. I'm so tempted to get something else from the store now!
