Truly special handmade journals by Moneeza Khan of Lotus Blu Book Art, a bookbinder and artist from Yorkshire.

Each journal is hand-bound and covered with linen featuring reproduction prints of Moneeza’s gouache paintings.

The journals are rustic in appearance, with Moneeza’s intention being to evoke a feeling of nostalgia - the older these journals become, the better they will look.

These designs are called tea rose (top) and bougainvillea (bottom).
