These handmade, fair trade and eco friendly leather covered journals are made by a small family business in Rajasthan, India. These journals have 125 pages of hand-made khadda paper, made from recycled cotton that has been left over from the massive garment industry in India. They are handmade and don’t contain any chemicals as we only use unbleached cotton. The paper is made by a charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social standing in the rural villages. Each journal has been expertly stitched around the outside to give a more intrepid feel. We are a fair trade company and regularly visit our suppliers to ensure the highest standards. We also quality control all our products to ensure that you only receive the best. We pay our suppliers 50% upfront and send money to them whenever they need it and we never send anything back. To incentivise the staff, we have a bonus system in place and they can earn up to 5% of our total order value, which can equate to an extra month’s wages per year. The leather has been tanned by our suppliers and the journals have been crafted using a mixture of love, contemporary and traditional skills. The embossing has been expertly created using small individual handmade tools making each journal unique. Due to the nature of these leather journals the embossed pattern might not be the same as on the image. The pages have been bound by hand so they are strong and perfect for travelling. And these beautiful books don’t have to be used as a journal, they’re also perfect as a scrap book and the paper is great for water-colours. Due to the fact that these products are individual, rustic and handmade, the colour and designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard.
