  • Capturing the atmosphere of Renaissance-style leather-bound books, this Inkblot design pays homage to the delicate art of gold tooling. To add a bit of edge to the look of finely crafted leather, we added a richly saturated dark blue background.

    When we first started making Paperblanks journals, we found a fragment of William Shakespeare’s handwriting and knew it could make an inspiring journal cover. Soon after, we added designs featuring the writings of Ernest Hemingway and Jane Austen, creating a series that would become our Embellished Manuscripts Collection. These first covers were minimalist designs featuring literary manuscripts written in black ink on beige paper. Eventually, our creative impulses took over and we tried to play with the design by adding a gold frame.

    Starting with a photograph of a gorgeous small piece of gold filigree, our Art Director created a full frame for the Shakespeare manuscript and highlighted it with a burnt orange background. Of course, our curiosity about what could happen next didn’t end there! When we removed the manuscript, we immediately saw the possibilities for a design inspired by classic Renaissance leather bindings. And so, our foundational Old Leather Collection was born.

    Today we are free to play with frame shape and background colour, and that first beige and black design continues to form the backbone of two of our most enduringly popular collections.

  • Paperblanks is a Canadian manufacturer that produces quality journals that are not only attractive but also extremely well-structured and bound using traditional techniques; the bindings are not glued (a binding technique that, while economical for the manufacturer, eventually leads to page loss), but are instead all sewn.

    All Paperblanks journals are bound using one of two methods. They are either hand-sewn using 'Coptic' binding, which has its origins in 4th-century Egypt, or Smythe sewn, which is the most durable binding technique and allows the journal to open flat without page loss.

    All Paperblanks journals use acid-free, archival-quality, and high-opacity laid writing paper. Their journals also include a ribbon bookmark and an inner pocket inside the back cover to store your notes.
