Ohm Leather Journal
The Ohm Leather Journal is perfect for use as a diary, travel journal, or scrapbook. The Ohm symbol represents what is thought in Hinduism to be the very first sound of the universe, encompassing the union of the mind, body and spirit. Each journal is crafted by hand and contains 125 pages of unlined, handmade khadda paper.
Expertly crafted using both contemporary and traditional methods, each one is bound by hand and ready to withstand any knocks and bumps on their journeys with you. The leather used for the cover is a by-product of the meat industry in India and is tanned using only natural dyes. Protected with natural oils, it will soften and age beautifully. The embossed detail is created using small handmade tools, making each journal unique. The pattern around the edge of the cover might not be exactly the same as the one pictured, but it will be just as beautiful.
The pages are created from khadda paper (also known as kaddi or khaddi). This sustainable material is crafted by hand from recycled cotton, salvaged from the huge waste of the Indian garment industry. Only unbleached cotton is used, ensuring the paper is acid-free. Lightly textured and luxuriously thick, it feels beautiful to write, draw, or paint on. While it’s perfect for ball-point pens, gel pens, or watercolours, we wouldn’t recommend it for use with fountain pens.
Due to the handmade nature of our products each one is unique, but loveliness comes as standard.
