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 traveling.
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 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 leather used for the covers is a byproduct of the meat industry and is tanned using natural dyes.
We respect our producers and it is very important to us that we treat them fairly. We pay all our producers 50% upfront and send money to them whenever they need it and we never return anything, even if it’s damaged. To incentivise the staff, we have a bonus system in place.

I purchased a personalized travel journal. Of course you can see it is hand made but that is what we liked about it. The leather is very nice and ready to change with usage. The paper has its flaws some are creased but not many and thick and soft. Something i hadn't considered as I placed the order.... Read More. I purchased a personalized travel journal. Of course you can see it is hand made but that is what we liked about it. The leather is very nice and ready to change with usage. The paper has its flaws some are creased but not many and thick and soft. Something i hadn't considered as I placed the order. Now however we do think it isn't a problem and we really like it. We would surely buy it again. |
Thanks for your understanding with the small flaws in the journal - we agree that these little imperfections help to make each product unique and add a bit of character and we are so glad you agree! We do work with our fair trade suppliers to try to minimise flaws as much as we can but of course...

We do work with our fair trade suppliers to try to minimise flaws as much as we can but of course with hand made items it is difficult to get perfect results.
