Handmade books & journals

Frequently asked questions

What paper do you use in your handmade books?

Most of our journals use 100–160 GSM acid-free recycled cotton-blend paper, chosen so fountain pens, fineliners, and light washes sit without bleed-through. Each listing names the exact GSM and finish.

How do I care for a hand-bound journal?

Store it flat or upright away from direct sunlight and humidity. A well-stitched Coptic or Secret Belgian book can lie fully open without cracking — let it do that rather than forcing the spine.

How long does a handmade book take to reach me?

In-stock books ship within 2 business days and arrive in 3–6 days across India. International orders go on a quote basis — write to us with your pincode for charges and lead time.

Can I return a handmade book if I change my mind?

Yes — we accept returns on unused books in original packaging within 7 days of delivery. Books that were personalised or made-to-order are final sale, which we call out clearly before checkout.

What binding styles do you make?

Coptic stitch (lies fully flat, exposed spine), Secret Belgian (covered spine with flexible hinge), Buttonhole, and Japanese Stab. Each product page names the binding so you can pick by feel.
