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.
By buying this product you will be supporting the work of skilled artisans and craftspeople in Rajasthan, India.
All the products in this range are made by a small family business in Rajasthan who we have worked with for many years following Fair Trade guidelines. We visit every year and we now know the producers and their families well and consider them true friends. We are proud that together we are able to provide people in rural villages fairly paid work that would have otherwise been difficult to find.
The khadda paper used in the products is handmade using recycled cotton leftover from the massive garment industry in India. The paper is made by a charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social standing in the rural villages.

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. |

Dear Matthew, We are very happy to hear that your wife was pleased with the gift that you chose for her. 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. Thank you for taking the time to leave us positive feedback as well as leaving your honest review. As a Fair trade company we are grateful for your support and custom. Regards.
