Material Guide

COVER MATERIAL: Crafted from upcycled materials—denim, wine labels, vinyls and other familiar everyday textures—each cover carries the soft, lived in comfort of something once loved, complete with natural colour shifts and charming details from its past life. Thoughtfully reborn with sustainability at its heart (the art paper is 100% rag cotton from upcycled textile and tree free), it wraps your pages in a cozy, familiar embrace, turning ordinary remnants into a uniquely personal companion.

ART PAPER - Exceptional in both quality and conscience, this tree-free cotton rag paper is made from 100% upcycled textile fibres and sourced directly from a fair-trade papermaking community in the hills of India. Each sheet is mould-made, sun-dried, and finished with softly deckled edges, preserving traditional skills while supporting ethical livelihoods. Lightly textured yet beautifully stable, it offers excellent performance across all media, making it as versatile as it is sustainable.

Binding

Style: RAISED BAND BINDING

Fact: Raised bands are most closely associated with medieval bindings of the 14th–15th centuries, though sewn supports appeared as early as the 8th century. Thick cords or leather thongs were sewn into the textblock to secure heavy oak boards, with leather carefully molded over them to form the distinctive raised profile. While originally structural, the visual appeal of raised bands endured even after they restricted hinge movement. Today, the look is often recreated using glued, flexible faux bands, preserving the historic character without the original constraints.
