I have bound the pages of this notebook with a Coptic binding that allows a perfect flat opening of the book. I did the sewing by hand with waxed cotton thread.

More than a notebook, an upcycled book, these are stories, memories of the first reading of a favorite book. And to upcycle these old books that I collect full of dust, tasks, is to offer them a new life and avoid them the trash.

WWF estimates that depending on the scenarios, the end of life (household waste and recycling) would concern 107,000 to 233,000 t/year of books, all sources combined.

The notebooks I propose have been washed but they can have marks, stripes, discoloration, or other. It's upcycling, not new. But it is in old books that we make the best notebooks!

The colors of the photos may vary depending on the settings of your screen.

Expedition:

The items are packed in tissue paper and shipping is made via Colissimo. I try to reuse cardboard packages already used to limit the impact on the environment, but sometimes I do not have any on hand and therefore use new ones that I invite you to reuse later for your own shipments.

Thank you very much for your visit. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
