Botanical Garden Hand-Bound Notebook, A5

Sale price  £28 Regular price 

Bound by hand in south-west France by 23janvier, with dark thread fanning across the top edge in spokes, holding the block together where you can watch it work. No two copies are stitched quite alike.

Ferns, cornflowers, buttercups and one magenta hydrangea floret are laid across the cover in rows, like specimens on a herbarium sheet rather than an arrangement. Lift the cover and the inside is printed too, so the plants carry on where only you will see them. The 44 folded pages are left plain, which suits writing and drawing on the same spread.

Thirty days to decide. Returns are free.
