A5 journal · 100 pages · handmade paper from reclaimed cotton textile waste · Jaipur, India
Journals and paper goods for conferences, corporate gifting, and academic programs — made from fabric that would otherwise be thrown away.
Each journal is made from cotton offcuts and remnants that have already been through one production cycle. Instead of ending up in landfill, they become paper. Tell us how many journals your institution needs and see what that keeps out of the waste stream.
Textile production leaves behind enormous amounts of offcuts, remnants, and fibres. We redirect cotton waste into a new form: paper, made into journals designed for everyday use.
Cotton textile offcuts and remnants are collected from Jaipur's textile workshops.
Our papermakers turn the cotton waste into paper, working entirely by hand.
The sheets are cut and bound into A5 journals of 100 pages.
Ready-made or customised for your institution, event, or programme.

Every page was once fabric.
The weight and texture of cotton paper is something no mill-made sheet can match. It takes ink beautifully and ages well, and it carries the story of where it came from.
When you choose these journals for your institution, you are choosing a gift, a giveaway, or a notebook that starts a conversation about how materials are used.

Daffodil Studio began with a question: why do the things we own so rarely feel like they were made for us, with care, with time, with intention?
We found our answer in Jaipur, among artisans who measure their work in seasons, not shipments. What began as one question has become a small, devoted community of papermakers, printers, quilters, and weavers, each lending their hand to what we make together.
We work across circular materials, paper, and textile craft to create objects for people and organizations looking for something beyond the conventional. Every piece that reaches you carries all of our hands, not just one.
Daffodil Studio is a small business registered and based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Alongside our journals, we make handmade cotton textile accessories, including animal keychains, for retail and wholesale customers.
"You are special and the materials you surround yourself with should be special too."
