The art of handmade craftsmanship

Each notebook that leaves my workshop has been touched, folded, sewn, and assembled by my hands. This is not a figure of speech — it is literally the case, at every step.

Material selection

It all starts with the fabric. I select each piece by hand — floral cottons, soft linens, patterns that evoke 19th-century gardens and curiosity cabinets. The paper is chosen for its quality: 120g/m², thick enough to accommodate pen, marker, and pencil without bleeding.

Hand-sewn binding

The pages are assembled into signatures, then hand-sewn with a needle according to traditional binding techniques. This is what gives the notebooks their sturdiness and their ability to lie flat — a detail that writing enthusiasts particularly appreciate.

The cover

The fabric is stretched and glued onto a rigid cover, then the corners are carefully finished by hand. For the embroidered Flora notebooks, I then add a floral embroidery made stitch by stitch — each piece is unique.

Personalization

For customizable notebooks, I write your text with a calligraphic pen inside the cover. A simple gesture that transforms a beautiful object into an unforgettable souvenir.

The paper

Following an ancient method, using paper pulp and a basin of water, I design the sheets one by one. I also pour wax seals, adorning them with flowers picked in nature and dried.

The time it takes

A standard notebook requires between 2 and 4 hours of work. An embroidered notebook can take twice as long. This is the time, attention, and care you hold in your hands.
