Both the leather journal and recycled cotton paper are handmade using traditional methods in India.

Leather
In a vegetarian region called Rajasthan, cows are revered and live well. After they pass from old age, their hides are tanned using a vegetable tanning method, which protects the environment and artisans from toxic chemicals.

Tree-Free, Recycled Cotton Paper
Cotton scraps are collected from the textile industry and broken down into fibers using a traditional wheel press and soaked overnight. The pulp is strained, pressed into pages and hung to dry creating a soft, textured paper for writing. The entire process is tree-free, non-toxic, and conserves and filters water for reuse in irrigation.

Your purchase supports the act of sustainability and the preservation of traditional practices such as these.
