Description

This journal is built around a simple idea: write one line per day. Just a short note. A thought, a highlight, something that stood out.

Over time, the pages fill up and you start seeing patterns. Small details you forgot. Shifts in mood. Changes in routine. It’s not about writing long entries. It’s about consistency.

The journal is made from 100% waste paper and reused advertising banners. Each cover is cut from a different section of a banner, so colours and graphic fragments vary per piece. Minor marks may still be visible, depending on the banner’s previous life.

The Coptic binding allows the book to lay flat, making it easy to write in every day. After three years, you’ll have a compact overview of moments that might otherwise have slipped away.

Like all Redopapers products, it’s handmade in Antwerp and wrapped in leftover packaging materials.

Who is this for

• For people who like reflecting briefly each day without committing to long journal entries
• For those who want a physical record of small daily moments over multiple years

Out of the ordinary

Because the cover is cut from reused banners, colour patterns and small surface marks vary per journal. The format stays consistent, the cover never repeats.
