    I love to read, restore, repair and make books. My favourite thing, is to see the smile on peoples faces when they pick up a book from our bindery. I really enjoy integrating traditional artisan skills with modern technology.

    The bindery is my happy place! From trying out new ideas, and playing with new materials, to simply cutting, folding, and sewing pages. I love the whole process. Bookbinding is very satisfying work :)

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalised orders

We custom engrave each of our hand-made personalised journals right here in the bindery. We can engrave logos, custom images, as well as text. If you are wanting something specific engraved onto one of our leather journals, please send us a message and we'd be happy to discuss how we can help create your vision!

Gift wrapping and packaging

All our items come gift-wrapped in black tissue and tied with twine as our standard. We wrap our products sensibly and securely, using a variety of recyclable and compostable packing products even the packing tape we use is compostable! We won’t include any invoicing or price details inside the gift-wrapped package. However, we do like to include a personal message, that will be in the outer wrapping :)

Care instructions

Our leather journals are made with beautiful, premium leathers from Australia and New Zealand. As this is a natural product you may find some scratches/blemishes/stretch marks ingrained into the leather. This is what makes every single piece unique! The finish on the leather (raw cacao and crazy horse) is intentionally prone to scuffs and scratches, giving it a wonderfully aged look. Most surface scratches can be removed by giving it a wipe with a damp cloth, we do not recommend using any polishes.
Occasionally the ash created by burning the leather with a laser can cause some smudging to the surrounding leather. If this occurs smudges can be removed by rolling a dry kneadable eraser over the area. Do not use water in this instance.

Wholesale availability

As a small business focused on handmade personalised products, we do not have the current capacity to be able to offer true wholesale pricing. We can however, offer discounts on larger batch orders. We do offer custom made batches of our products for local businesses to retail and also work with businesses seeking to create custom products that incorporate their own logos and branding. We would love to work with you to produce a unique product to fit your needs.

What hours/days do you operate?

We are located in Margaret River, Western Australia. That puts us +8GMT and about 12-15 hours ahead of our US customers. We try our hardest to respond to messages as soon as we get them and strive to get your order on its way to you as soon as possible :)
