Indian Journals are one of a kind, Beautiful and Artistic Diaries derived from Traditional Indian Art that are infused with Eco Conservation Values.

Since my teens, I have always been interested in Eco, Organic, Recycled, Earth-Friendly ways of living. The idea of saving trees slowly led me to foray into paper products made from recycled and handmade paper. I also started to show keen interest in re-using and up-cycling leftover fabrics into creations of usable art.

Likewise, coming from a design background, I nurtured a very strong inclination of developing and using aspects of Traditional Indian Folk Art in our everyday lives. Something that could become a part of our daily routine and not just remain obscure in libraries.

Indian Journals was thus born out of my fondness to re-use fabrics, of handmade paper and of my passion to revive and work with Traditional Indian Folk Art.

My days are full of vibrant colours as I mix and match remnants of Embellished Sari's , Cushion covers, Embroidered Dupatta's. It’s remarkable to see how beautiful and distinctive each Fabric Covered Journal can emerge.

The Traditional Art designs are again amazing creations, especially when we see the same Indian Folk Motif turn vividly different just by playing with colours. Every journal seems to be a living being with its own special character and moods !

I now offer my Journals in Four Sizes to suit different needs, which in terms of variety, is a big addition as compared to the basic medium size that I sold for the longest time.

" Indian Journals " happily runs from my home based studio - an Enabling work space that reflects my style and sensibilities and compliments my creativity and Eco Conscious Values.

One of my favourite shop reviews that lauded the hard work that goes behind each journal in the best possible way was : "These are unique, beautifully crafted journal books, handmade in every way, with vivid colors and great attention to detail. I have never seen anything like them, definitely worth having as works of art, even if to leave the pages blank, though they are wonderful to write in – the paper is highest quality, purely handmade, and a joy to feel. I purchased two of these journal books because I wanted something more personal and aesthetic than just a plain notebook to keep in my purse. "

Another customer's best friend very aptly said : "it's one of the most beautiful things, I have ever been given!"
