We are pleased to offer the extraordinary line of Phasha, responsibly handcrafted in India according to fair trade practices.

Phasha is a Canadian company which started in 2005 following a trip to India. As owner/founder Natasha explains, "We had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful man on our travels; an authentic leather craftsman. He creates these extraordinary products using the same techniques mastered by prior generations. Upon returning to Canada, we decided to form PHASHA in order to help bring these unique items and his talents to Canada. Since our first sale in 2005 he has had to expand his business hiring many people from his small town and helping to boost the local economy."

Since Phasha journals and sketchbooks are all handcrafted by skilled artisans, and not massed produced, there will be variations from one item to the next. Real leather can have natural characteristics like discoloration, wrinkles, or stretch marks, adding to the beauty of each unique piece.  In the journals, you'll love the feel of the thick natural white paper (between 100-125 GSM), made from 100% treeless and acid-free recycled cotton. The paper is hand stitched into the binding of each book, giving an 'old world' style look. Expect to receive a generous 105-110 sheets (210-220 pages) - more than most journals on the market!  Many journals feature a leather strap which is tied to the inside of the spine and wraps around to secure the book when it is closed.  Some even feature semi prescious stones on the cover including Jasper, Labradorite, Tiger-Eye, and Lapis Lazuli.

Note: Phasha products have quickly gained a loyal following, but unfortunately many imitations exist. Please know that Heartwood Gifts is an authorized reseller of the Phasha brand.
