Description

Bring medieval craftsmanship into the present with this handbound A6 notebook, inspired by semi-limp long-stitch bindings found in the Swedish medieval manuscripts of Uppsala University Library. Each book is individually crafted, showcasing exposed stitching along the spine — a hallmark of historic Northern European bindings — giving it both character and exceptional durability.

Inside, you’ll find 170gsm, 100% recycled paper with a lovely natural tooth. It’s smooth enough for everyday writing yet textured enough for sketching, note-taking, or expressive journaling. The pages can even handle a very light wash, making this an inviting choice for mixed-media artists or those who like to blend words with gentle watercolour.

The covers are wrapped in beautifully printed William Morris patterns, offering classic Arts & Crafts elegance with a modern handmade feel. Light, flexible, and comfortable in the hand, this semi-limp structure makes the book easy to carry while still feeling substantial and crafted with care.
