All of our sari albums 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 built to last.
The paper used in these albums 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. Because the paper is acid-free it is perfect for protecting and preserving photographs.
The sari material comes from Varanasi, one of the most religious cities in the world and a centre of excellence for sari making.This beautiful material is handmade using man-made fibres, as we are uncomfortable with the traditional methods used to make silk
Please note, we don't recommend using fountain pen with this type of handmade paper, as the textured paper can cause the ink to run.
Due to the handmade nature of these products colour and designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard.
All the products in this range are handmade by a small family business in Rajasthan, India.
We are fortunate enough to visit them every year, having worked with them for many years following Fair Trade guidelines. We are incredibly proud that together we are able to provide people in rural villages fairly paid work that may have otherwise been difficult to find, and consider the producers and their families true friends.
The paper in all our journals and photo albums is made by a charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social standing in the rural villages. For more information about the sustainable materials used, take a look at the product description.
By making a purchase, you are helping to continue the fantastic work of our producers.

Lovely to find an album with natural paper and no plastic! Lovely colours to choose from and although not very large it is ideal for smaller photos. | It is important to us to cause as little impact on the environment wherever possible.
