Beautifully handcrafted in Melbourne, our Handmade Sewn Bound Thick A5 Journal combines timeless design with artisanal craftsmanship. Built to last, it is both a practical everyday notebook and a keepsake to treasure.
The journal features a sewn binding, creating a durable spine that allows the book to open smoothly while accommodating frequent use. With its A5 format, it offers a generous amount of space while remaining easy to carry. Available with your choice of lined or unlined pages, this journal adapts easily to different uses - whether writing, sketching, or note-taking.
The covers are handcrafted from Kami Paper's curated selection of hand screenprinted Japanese Chiyogami paper, handmade Nepalese Lokta paper, or Italian decorative paper, paired with coordinating book cloth accents. For a personal touch, optional monogram initials can be added, making each journal uniquely yours.
Handmade on-site at Kami Paper’s Fitzroy studio, each journal reflects the care and traditional craftsmanship invested in its creation and our commitment to sustainable, fair-trade materials. Each piece is made to order, with a typical turnaround of 7–10 business days.
