Description

There is something different about writing on handmade paper. The texture beneath your pen, the slight irregularity of each sheet, it slows you down in the best way, making every word feel more deliberate and more yours.

Premloom’s Handmade Paper Diary is crafted in the traditional Indian paper-making style, using recycled cotton rag pulp. Each diary is bound by hand, with covers painted or printed in Rajasthani folk motifs. No two covers are identical.

About the Craft

Handmade paper (kagzi) has been produced in Rajasthan for centuries, Sanganer near Jaipur is renowned for it. The process is slow: pulp is spread by hand on mesh frames, dried in the sun, and pressed flat. The result is paper with a character that machine-made sheets can never replicate.

Vastu Tip

The northeast corner, the zone of knowledge, wisdom, and new beginnings, is the ideal placement for a journal or diary. Keeping your diary on your study or work desk in the northeast direction is believed to enhance clarity, creativity, and the flow of ideas.

Perfect For

  • Journalling and daily writing, the textured paper makes every entry feel special
  • Sketch diaries, handmade paper holds pen, pencil, and light watercolour beautifully
  • Corporate gifting, a thoughtful, sustainable alternative to generic branded stationery
  • Wedding and event favours, guests keep them and remember the occasion every time they write
  • Diwali and festive gifting, beautifully packaged in Premloom’s signature gift box

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the paper made from?
Recycled cotton rag pulp, processed using traditional Indian handmade paper techniques. The paper is acid-free and will not yellow over time.

How many pages does the diary have?
Approximately 100–120 pages (200–240 sides), depending on the specific edition. Please check the product listing for the exact count.

Is the paper suitable for fountain pens?
Yes. The cotton rag base handles fountain pen ink well with minimal feathering. Very wet inks may show slight show-through, which is characteristic of handmade paper.

Can I use it as a sketchbook?
Yes, for pencil, ballpoint, gel pen, and light watercolour. It is not suitable for heavy washes or markers that bleed.

Can I get it personalised or branded for corporate gifting?
Yes. We offer custom cover designs, logo embossing, and branded packaging for bulk orders. WhatsApp us at +91 9649243355 for corporate gifting quotes.

Is it eco-friendly?
Yes. Handmade paper uses recycled cotton fibre, no trees are cut. It is one of the most sustainable paper products available.

Why Premloom Envision?

You will find similar-looking decor in many online stores. Here is the difference: every Premloom piece is made by a named artisan family in Udaipur, Rajasthan. No factories, no resellers, no mass production. When you order, a real craftsperson goes to work. The slight variation in grain, colour, or finish is not a defect — it is the signature of handmade work. Your piece will never be identical to anyone else’s. That is what you are paying for.

Kadamb Wood Hand-Carving

Handcrafted in Udaipur, Rajasthan

Material

Kadamb wood (Neolamarckia cadamba), natural lacquer

The craft: Kadamb wood is soft enough to carve in fine detail but durable enough to last generations. Artisans begin with a rough block, sketch the form in chalk, then work through progressively finer chisels over several hours — sometimes days for complex pieces. The lacquer finish is applied by hand in multiple coats.

The People Behind It

Our core Kadamb wood carving families are based in the old city of Udaipur, where this craft has been practised for over 500 years. Premloom works directly with 12+ artisan families — no middlemen — ensuring fair wages and complete creative freedom for the craftspeople behind every piece.
