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 onsite at Kami Paper’s Fitzroy studio, each journal reflects the care and traditional craftsmanship invested in its creation and our commitment to sustainable, fairtrade materials. Each piece is made to order, with a typical turnaround of 7–10 business days.
