Journals made to be one of a kind

Dear Diary brings Indian sari fabrics, distinctive papers and careful handwork together in journals made to keep, write in or give.

Our story

A journal should feel like yours.

We make one-of-a-kind journals from Indian sari fabrics, traditional textile details and distinctive papers. Each piece is made by hand, so its materials and character come together in their own way.

The making

Distinctive materials, brought together by hand.

Indian sari fabrics, woven details and traditional textile borders meet hand-painted, marbled or handmade papers. We bring these materials together with intricate stitching, handcrafted bindings and closures.

Each journal is individually made, with its own combination of textiles, paper and construction. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece to choose for your own writing or to give to someone special.

Every journal brings its own materials and handwork together in a piece you can choose to keep or give. Dear Diary
