Featured collection

These inserts are designed especially for my handmade journals and is ideal for journaling, planning, notes, memory keeping, travel writing, lists and creative everyday use.

Each book is hand-sewn with a linen spine reinforcement, rounded corners and carefully finished by hand, giving it a tactile, premium feel that makes it much more special than a standard notebook refill.

Cover and finish

Choose your vegan leather or wipe-clean fabric cover colour, inside front and back page design, and matching elastic colour to create a journal insert that feels personal to you.

The semi-soft vegan leather cover gives the book a flexible but substantial feel, making it suitable as either a journal refill or a slim standalone handmade notebook. The wipe-clean fabric is based on William Morris and other garden designs

Suggested use

Perfect as a refill insert for your handmade journal cover, or as a beautiful notebook for everyday writing, travel notes, creative planning, memory keeping or gifting.
