An invitation from Eli & Kai
Three days
at The Bridge.
For three evenings in June, we're setting up at THE BRIDGE | Wellness Hub in Al Qana — a small studio within the hub — where you can design a leather journal made entirely for you.
Choose your leather. Choose your cord. Choose a charm. Watch your initials pressed in gold. Take your journal home the same evening.
The Experience
Forty minutes,
one journal, yours.
A private session at our pop-up studio. We'll guide you through each choice — slowly, the way these things should be done.
Choose your leather
A small range of vegetable-tanned hides, sourced from UAE suppliers.
Choose your cord
The detail that quietly makes it yours — colour matched to the leather.
Add a charm
One small piece from our hand-picked collection.
Press your initials
Hand-debossed in gold, while you wait — and then it's yours.
"Made fully in the UAE. Cut, debossed, and finished by hand in our Abu Dhabi studio."
— Eli & Kai
Using vegetable-tanned leathers sourced from UAE-based suppliers, every cover is made to order. No two pieces leave the studio the same.

An exclusive offer for the wellness community.

Questions, gently answered
Before you book
What happens during the session?
You'll arrive at THE BRIDGE | Wellness Hub and meet us at the studio. Over the next forty minutes, we'll walk you through the leather options, cord colours, and charm choices. Once you've made your selections, we'll deboss your initials in gold while you wait, then assemble and bind your journal. You'll take it home the same evening.
How does the AED 100 deposit work?
The deposit reserves your session and is fully applied to your journal on the day. So if your journal is AED 550, you'll pay the remaining AED 450 at the studio. The deposit is refundable if you cancel 48 hours or more in advance.
I'm a Bridge member — how do I claim my offer?
Enter promo code TB15 when you arrive at your session. You'll receive 15% off your journal, and choose a complimentary charm from a curated trio. Limit of two uses per member across the activation.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. Sessions are designed for one journal, but companions are welcome to sit alongside. If you'd both like to make a journal, please book a session each so we can give you both our full attention.
Can the journal be a gift?
Absolutely — and one of the loveliest uses for them. You can have someone else's initials debossed, choose their charm, and we'll wrap it in our gift packaging for you to take home.
Where is Eli & Kai based?
Our studio is in Abu Dhabi. Every journal is cut, debossed, and finished by hand here in the UAE, using vegetable-tanned leather sourced from UAE-based suppliers. Nothing is mass-produced — and no two pieces leave the studio the same.
A journal made
entirely for you.
Three evenings only. Forty minutes each. Reservations are open.
