The SKINS Samman Elastic Cord Set is designed as a replacement and accessory system for the Khonsa A6 Leather Portfolio Journal and the Nyinu A5 Leather Portfolio Journal.
Made to fit the journal's notebook-binding architecture, these elastic cords allow you to refresh, replace or personalise the internal binding system of your Khonsa. Available in distinctive colours and combinations, Samman lets your journal evolve with the notebooks, ideas and journeys it carries.
The cords are supplied on a specially designed SKINS kraft card, keeping them organised and ready to install.
Simple in construction but essential in function, Samman is part of the modular philosophy behind the SKINS portfolio journal system: a product designed to be used, maintained and made personal over time.
Specifically sized for the SKINS Khonsa A6 Leather Portfolio Journal or the Nyinu A5 Leather Portfolio Journal, the elastic cords work with its internal notebook-binding system.
Use them to replace existing cords or add fresh colour combinations to your journal.
Choose the configuration suited to your Khonsa journal and the number of notebook inserts you carry.
The elastic system supports the modular nature of the Khonsa, allowing notebooks and inserts to be changed as your requirements evolve.
Samman cords are available in vibrant colours including:
Mix contrasting colours or keep the journal understated with a single-tone configuration.
The cords are selected to provide the flexibility required for regular insertion and removal of notebooks while maintaining sufficient tension to keep your inserts securely in place.
Designed as a practical consumable accessory, Samman allows you to refresh the binding system of your Khonsa without replacing the leather journal itself.
Each set is supplied neatly organised on a SKINS kraft card, making storage and replacement simple.
The Khonsa and Nyinu are designed as a journal that changes with its owner.
Notebooks fill up. Inserts are replaced. Colours fade into memories. The elastic cords that hold everything together may eventually need renewal.
Samman extends the life of the journal.
Rather than treating the elastic binding as disposable, the replacement cord system allows the core leather portfolio to remain in use while its functional components can be renewed.
It is a small accessory with a larger purpose: making the Khonsa & Nyinu, a companion for longer.
The SKINS Khonsa A6 Portfolio Journal is designed around interchangeable elements.
The leather cover provides the permanent structure.
The notebooks provide the changing pages.
The Scriptura folder adds organisation.
Samman provides the connection between them.
Together, they create a journal system that can adapt to writing, sketching, travel, photography and everyday documentation.

At SKINS by Udit Kulshrestha, we believe useful objects should remain useful.
The Samman Elastic Cord Set is a small expression of that philosophy. Rather than replacing an entire product when one component wears out, individual parts can be renewed.
Designed in Agra, India, as part of the Khonsa journal ecosystem, Samman brings colour, function and longevity to a journal intended to gather character with time.

"I call it the Udit Bag .. it embodies the essence of joy, much like a melodic symphony. The bespoke bag he meticulously crafted is a testament to his attention to detail and exceptional artistry. The Udit bag has earned a beloved place in my collection, its beauty and craftsmanship evoking a sense of delight every time I use it."
"Came across Skins by Udit Kulshrestha leather products and I instantly liked the aesthetic pen sleeves and placed an order for a grey one, which was promptly delivered to me ( very responsive customer service ) snug in a rustic fabric bag and another soft black pouch along with it It - as expected; beautifully handcrafted, exquisite and fine grain leather - holds my Apple Pencil or my writing swords - safekeeping them from the mutinies going on in my handbag.
My favourite part are the inscription signatures of the artist himself - contriving an aesthetic, exclusive and handmade gift which I would cherish for years to come."

"Very well crafted Kosha Vanta roll top bag! It's incredibly practical, with lots of pockets where they are needed, extendable roll top clasp, suitcase handle holder and hidden pockets for valuables. The leather work is done very skillfully, not a stitch out of place. Very sturdy and thoughtfully designed. Came with a handwritten note, lots of other leather goodies (pen case, bookmarks, wallet), and some prints from Udit. It's drawn eyes at work and outside, would highly recommend if you want a genuine, handcrafted piece."

"Skins leather products are truly exceptional! The attention to detail, the quality of the leather, and the craftsmanship that goes into each piece are all top-notch. Every stitch, every cut, and every finish is meticulously done, showcasing the artisan's skill and dedication. The leather feels luxurious, and the designs are both timeless and elegant. What I appreciate most is the uniqueness of each piece – no two are exactly alike, making every handcrafted leather product a one-of-a-kind treasure. If you're looking for high-quality, beautiful leather goods that will last for years to come, look no further. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it ten stars if I could!"

It not only has separate pockets for each Currency size that fit like a glove, it also has a cute coin pocket and helps find the correct denomination currency just by touch, aiding my visual disability. The Brass Magnetic button is icing on the cake. The detailing and perfection is unmatched. It's really so soft yet sturdy and weightless !
