Can’t choose just one?

The Denim Duo pairs the A4 and A5 for everyday sketching, and costs less than buying the two separately. The Denim Collection brings together all four sizes, from a large A3 for studies down to a pocket-sized A6 for sketching on the go, at a lower price than buying each book individually and with free delivery to mainland UK.

The paper

Prized for centuries

Cotton rag paper has been prized for centuries for important documents and fine art. Naturally acid-free and archival, it lasts hundreds of years without yellowing, and its long cotton fibres give it a strength wood-pulp paper cannot match, with excellent tooth for dry media and a surface smooth enough for detailed work.

The cover

Each one has its own character

Crafted as a casebound sketchbook, each denim cover has its own character thanks to natural variations in the pre-consumer waste, giving you a unique sketchbook with a smooth, clean surface and durable protection for your work.

The source

Intercepted before it’s waste

Traditional paper production uses 40% of all industrially harvested wood globally. We’ve taken a different path. Our cotton rag paper is made entirely from clean fabric offcuts collected from garment factories in India, material that never entered the supply chain and would otherwise be discarded.

The Journey: From Scraps to Sketchbook

Denim and cotton off-cuts rescued before landfill

1. Off-Cuts

Intercepted at Source

Pre-consumer denim and cotton off-cuts are rescued before they reach landfill, giving clean textile waste a second life as paper.

Textile fibres beaten and pulped into paper

2. Pulped

Transformed Without Chemicals

These fibres are then beaten, pulped, and formed into paper using a low-impact, entirely chemical-free process that keeps things simple and sustainable.

Denim pulp pressed into naturally blue sheets

3. Pressed

Formed Into Protection

Denim pulp is pressed and smoothed into naturally blue sheets — no dyes or bleach required — then wrapped around recycled greyboard, transforming into a robust cover that proudly showcases its textile origins.

4. Assembled

Bound to Last

Inside, cotton rag paper is paired with the denim cover to create a sketchbook, uniting two pre-consumer waste streams into one purposeful tool for artists.
