All of our leather journals are handmade by a small family business in Rajasthan, India. They have been expertly crafted using a mixture of contemporary and traditional methods and the pages have been bound by hand so they are strong and perfect for travelling.
The paper used in these journals is handmade using recycled cotton (also known as khadda, kaddi or khaddi) leftover from the massive garment industry in India. It is acid-free because we only use unbleached cotton and it produces a beautiful paper, easy to write, draw or paint on. We don't recommend using a fountain pen with this type of handmade paper.
The leather used is a by-product of the meat industry in India and is tanned using only natural dyes.
Due to the handmade nature of these products colour and designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard.

The book came as expected, a unique version of one design as every part of the design was hand done. Bought as a Christmas present for my partner who loves the bohemian style, she loved it. So much so it took her some time to dare to actually draw in it. Came in time for Christmas and the product was worth the money spent. Plenty of character and something which looks great on any bookcase. Considering buying another to alleviate the fear of drawing in the first. |

Our Indra A4 Journals are particularly lovely, due to the handmade nature of the product there is a lot of work put into the crafting of one of these books so we can understand being hesitant to draw in the book.
