Ring-Bound JOURNALS Wrapped in FABulous Fabrics

We've always liked hardcover books that are thread-sewn and fabric-wrapped. But for journals or notebooks, where we need to replace used pages, it's not practical to have the pages bound and glued. We decided, therefore, to design our own fabric-wrapped journals using ring-binder which would allow pages to be added and removed easily.

The result is FABULOUS! So we're calling them our FABric JOURNALS ~ journals wrapped in FABulous fabrics featuring beautiful floral prints, lovely country prints and also masculine checked prints for the men.

For this project, we tapped on the excellent book-binding skills of two young career ladies, Supawan and Noi, who are only free after their work and during the weekends to make them. Noi's aunt, who is a full-time housewife, is the wonderful sewing talent behind the journals. It's our latest successful social enterprise project that harness the skills and talents of the 'ordinary' people.

We have two sizes ~ Large with A5-size contents ($20.90 each) and Small with 14cm height x 13cm width contents ($18.90). Do email us at georgewong@teddythotz.com for the full catalogue.
