Description

A5 Wabi Sabi Style Journal

Handbound with your own chosen text typed on my vintage typewriter, Dorothy, and finished with a recycled sari ribbon, this journal is crafted with care from beginning to end.

The cover is made from beautifully tactile handmade cotton paper, complete with its natural deckled edge. This paper is created by skilled craftspeople using offcuts from the T-shirt industry, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Inside, you’ll find 60 hand-stitched pages of thick, recycled cartridge paper, perfect for writing, sketching, or quiet moments of reflection.

A simple recycled sari ribbon tie brings everything together, finishing this one-of-a-kind journal with character and charm.
