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 buffalo 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 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.
The leather journals are intended to get even better with age; the leather will soften and the bumps and knocks they will get will mean more character - we love a journal that can tell a story of its travels!
This black leather journal is filled with 120 hand-bound pages of plain, unlined khadda paper, this journal is one of our most practical. The soft buffalo leather cover feels both luxurious and hard-wearing, to keep all your most important notes safe on your travels.
