Handcrafted from banana bark, a winding vine of agel grass cord, finished with a small coiled spiral, trails across the cover against a background of real kupu-kupu leaves. A cinnamon stick lashed with cord serves as the binding, while inside, 50 pages of rice straw paper offer a blank, eco-conscious canvas ready for journaling, drawing or simply thinking out loud.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Komang Sulaksana
Country: Bali
"Tegalalang is my parents' village, the place where I learned to make various kinds of handicrafts such as photo albums, photo frames, notebooks and much more. Creating new designs is so much fun for me. Arranging different kinds of materials together is not a hard thing to do but, of course, it requires patience and skill. The materials I use are mostly natural fibers like banana bark, hibiscus leaves, lamtoro and recycled paper.
"I was unable to continue my studies to the level I wanted. This wasn't a good experience but it never crossed my mind to regret what has happened. I never forget to give thanks each day for the life and family I have. They are so great and we work together side by side to create a better future for our children.
"By working with you, I can see that international shoppers are just a click away.""
