Maker's notes
As soon as we discovered Remake, an amazing paper made from previously wasted leather residues, we knew that we would have to find a use for it. Created by Italian paper specialist Favini, this award-winning paper replaces 25% of the wood pulp with leftover leather fibres and is totally biodegradable. The result is a beautifully textured paper with visible fibres that is a joy to write on. The paper refills are then cut, sewn and bound for us by a specialist binders in Gloucestershire to fit perfectly into our refillable leather journal. Our leather bound journal will also work as a cover for standard A5 notebooks, sketchbooks and diaries. Everything is made great with goat.
