In today’s fast-paced world, the simple act of journaling offers a rare moment of mindfulness—a way to connect with our thoughts and the stories that shape us. Truly Tribal’s Handmade Ethnic Diaries are not just beautiful notebooks; they are a labour of love, a reflection of India’s rich traditions, and a means of empowerment for the artisans who craft them. Every page tells a story of heritage, hope, and community transformation.
The Artistry of Handmade Ethnic Diaries
Our Handmade Ethnic Diaries blend artistry with craftsmanship, designed by women self-help groups (SHGs) in Rajasthan. Made using recycled handmade paper, these diaries celebrate creativity and tradition.
While retaining the Pothi/Bahi-style binding, these diaries have evolved to include modern touches, like durable metal hook closures, making them both functional and timeless.
Available Variants:
Cloth Covers
Made from Cotton Handblock, Banarasi Zari, or Khambadia Embroidered Fabrics, these covers offer a tactile experience, making each diary unique.
Print Covers
Inspired by Indian stamp paper designs and traditional Indian paintings, these covers reflect the country’s rich heritage. They can also be customized for businesses, industries, or social themes.
Some diaries feature real Peepal leaf bookmarks, symbolizing wisdom and growth, adding a deeply meaningful touch.
The Making Process: A Labor of Love
Each diary is handcrafted through a meticulous process, combining skill and dedication:
Paper Crafting
Handmade paper is created from recycled fibers and old papers, using eco-friendly techniques that ensure durability and a smooth writing surface.
Cover Designing
Covers are made with a hard base, overlaid with printed designs or fabrics and embellished for an elegant finish.
Binding
Handmade paper sheets (40 pages per diary) are stitched by hand using strong cotton threads, giving a traditional Pothi/Bahi-style look. The pages are securely bound to the hardcovers, ensuring longevity.
Each step is performed with precision, care, and pride, resulting in a diary that’s as functional as it is artistic.
The Impact: Empowering Lives, One Diary at a Time
These diaries are more than just products—they are instruments of empowerment. Crafted by SHGs in Rajasthan, these diaries help artisans, particularly women, preserve and promote traditional binding techniques while building sustainable livelihoods.
By being part of these groups, the artisans gain:
Valuable skills like financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
