FAQ
Where are your albums made?
These handmade, fair trade and eco-friendly albums are made by a small
family business in Rajasthan, India.
How many pages does the album have
and what is it made of?
These albums have 30 pages (60 sides) of handmade acid-free khadda
paper, made from recycled cotton (also known as kaddi or khaddi) that has been
left over from the massive garment industry in India. They are handmade and
don’t contain chemicals as we only use unbleached cotton. The paper is made by
a charity in rural Rajasthan that promotes women’s education and their social
standing in rural villages.
The pages are interleaved with protective
tissue paper to keep all of your most treasured photos safe. The album can hold
up to 120 standard 6x4 inch photos.
How are the albums made?
The leather has been tanned by our suppliers using a natural dye, and
the journals have been crafted using a mixture of love, contemporary and
traditional skills. The pages have been bound by hand, so they are strong and
perfect for travelling.
Each item is individual, leather is a natural product and can have
slight imperfections, we feel this adds to the individuality and makes each
product unique.
What can I use the albums for?
This album is also perfect to use as a scrapbook, art book, and the
paper is great for water colour painting.
Photos can be added using photo corners, which are available in any good
photography shop, spray mount or simple glue.
Anything else I should know?
Due to the handmade nature of these products colour may slightly vary
but loveliness comes as standard.
Please note we do not advise using a fountain pen with this type of
handmade paper as the ink may spread.
When can I expect my delivery?
We aim to process and dispatch your delivery on the same day. Please
allow up to 3 working days to receive this.
