Fabric made from a sustainable blend of recycled polyester from single-use plastic bottles, and yarn spun from virgin offcuts and fibres from factory floors. The yarns are woven into a textured herringbone with a pleasantly soft finish.

Shimada Textiles is a textile manufacturer with over 90 years of history in Nishiwaki, Hyogo prefecture, one of the main Banshu-ori regions of Japan. The company creates original fabrics working with highly skilled craftspeople across all production stages.

Banshu-ori is known for its yarn-dyed process whereby pre-dyed yarns are woven into patterned textiles. Interweaving warp and weft yarns of different colours and materials produces a wide array of expressive designs. Stripes and checks are a speciality, with the overlapping threads creating a delicate richness.

Nishiwaki is a region abundant in nature. Access to ample water supply is crucial in every step of the Banshu-ori process from dyeing, weaving and finishing, and the local Kakogawa River has sustained the tradition for over two hundred years.

We created this notebook to be the kind that fits on a bookshelf and becomes part of a treasured collection over the years.

The soft blue-grey print on white OK Fools paper provides a subtle backdrop ensuring your words are front and centre. The grid will guide you in all tasks from writing to drawing diagrams and tables.
