Large Recycled Notebook with Bagru Cover | Black Floral

Bagru printing takes its name from the town of Bagru in Rajasthan, where generations of artisans have practised traditional hand block printing and dyeing techniques.

The process uses hand-carved wooden blocks to build patterns onto cotton cloth, often in earthy shades associated with natural and traditional dyeing methods. Each print carries slight variations created by the pressure of the hand, the placement of the block and the character of the cloth.

The cover of this notebook is made using a Bagru cotton fabric off-cut, giving a smaller remnant of printed textile a practical new use. As each cover is cut from a different section of fabric, every notebook has its own arrangement of colour and pattern.

The ruled pages inside are made using recycled cotton, paper waste and other natural fibres, avoiding the need for virgin paper. Handcrafted in India using traditional bookbinding techniques, it is designed to be carried, used and filled over time.
