About this product

Description

Our Fair Trade, embossed leather journals are perfect for writing, journaling, or scrapbooking. Each one is filled with pages of unlined, handmade khadda paper, kept secure with a brass clasp.

Handmade, eco-friendly and Fair Trade, this leather journal is the perfect way to note down all of your thoughts and it also makes a positive difference to the communities who make them.

Each journal contains pages of unlined khadda paper; khadda is recycled cotton that has been left over from the massive garment industry in India. The paper is made by a charity that promotes women's development in rural areas of Rajasthan, India.

The embossing has been applied with love, care, and individual small handmade tools, making each journal unique.

Variations

Available simply embossed or with stitching along the edge of the journal.

As each journal is handmade using traditional tools, the design may vary from journal to journal, but we will always make sure to always send you one that you will love.

Due to the handmade nature of our products the colours and designs may vary, but loveliness comes as standard.

Made from

These products have been 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.

Natural leather journal with recycled unbleached cotton paper pages made from left over rags from the massive garment industry in India.

They are made in a small workshop in Rajasthan, India by skilled crafts people using a mixture of traditional and contemporary methods.

Expertly crafted using both contemporary and traditional methods, each one is bound by hand and ready to withstand any knocks and bumps on their journeys with you. The leather used for the cover is a by-product of the meat industry in India and is tanned using only natural dyes. Protected with natural oils, it will soften and age beautifully. The embossed detail is created using small handmade tools, making each journal unique. The pattern might not be exactly the same as the one pictured, but it will be just as beautiful.

The pages are created from khadda paper (also known as kaddi or khaddi). This sustainable material is crafted by hand from recycled cotton, salvaged from the huge waste of the Indian garment industry. Only unbleached cotton is used, ensuring the paper is acid-free. Lightly textured and luxuriously thick, it feels beautiful to write, draw, or paint on. While it’s perfect for ball-point pens, gel pens, or watercolours, we wouldn’t recommend it for use with fountain pens.
