Earlier in the winter I quickly sold out my last lot of kimono books, so I knew I needed to make a bunch more for the shop opening. Now there’ll be 15 new repurposed vintage kimono notebooks available on Tuesday when I open my new shop. They come in two sizes, large (82€, incl. worldwide shipping) and small (72€, incl. worldwide shipping). The large ones measure 14,9×20,5×1,2cm / 5.9″x8″x0.5″ (around size A5) and the small ones 10,7×14,6×1,2cm / 4.2″x5.7″x0.5″ (postcard-ish). Both sizes have 72 pages of off-white 90gsm drawing paper.

This first lot of photos is of the large ones:

And here are the ever so lovely little ones:

With my kimono notebooks I battle an entirely new level of “ooh, I want to keep that one for myself” as I know I usually won’t have enough fabric to make another one (I usually use the last scraps for spines). This time it’s especially the dark green books with woven pattern that make my heart beat a little faster. Do you have a favourite?
