Large Chocolate Embossed Leather Notebook

Stunning handmade, fair trade and eco friendly leather covered notebook lovingly hand embossed by rural Indian crafts people. These notebooks have approximately 60 pages of plain, unlined khadda paper; khadda is recycled cotton that has been left over from the massive garment industry in India. It is handmade and doesn’t contain any chemicals as we use only unbleached cotton and is very easy to write on. We don't recommend using fountain pen with this type of handmade paper. The paper is made by charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social standing in the rural villages. The embossing on the covers has been done with small individual handmade tools making each notebook unique. The embossed pattern might not be exactly the same as on the image but will be just as lovely. Dimensions: Large 20cm x 17cm Available in 3 sizes. Please see our other listings. The leather used is a by-product of the meat industry in India and is tanned using only natural dyes. All the products in this range are handmade by a small family business in Rajasthan, India. We are fortunate enough to visit them every year, having worked with them for many years following Fair Trade guidelines. We are incredibly proud that together we are able to provide people in rural villages fairly paid work that may have otherwise been difficult to find, and consider the producers and their families true friends. The paper in all our journals and photo albums is made by a charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social standing in the rural villages.
