This Hemp sketchbook is totally tree-free and is composed of 25% recycled hemp fabric and 75% recycled paper – it’s beautifully made and sturdy.
The Retro Sketch Book has 75 sheets of 18cm2, acid free, 90gsm paper that’s perfect for pencil, pen & ink, charcoal and pastels.
Good for the planet because: No virgin fibre is being used to make these sketch books. Hemp has been used for paper and textiles for millennia. The stuff grows like a weed so it reduces the use of all those nasty pesticides and fertilisers and it avoids cutting down lovely old growth forests. Better still, these books are made from hemp rags so a waste material is being reused in their creation.
