Hand Bound Notebook

An A6 notebook designed by Cork artist Shane O'Driscoll and bound in Dublin by traditional family bookbinders Duffys. The pattern designed by Shane has been embossed on the linen cover, adding to the texture of this notebook. Complimenting the cover, the end pages are printed with the pattern and colours Shane has used throughout the revamped branding of our Áras homewares range. 

Unlined, this notebook is perfect for sketching or taking notes. The handy size makes it the ideal notebook to carry with you on your daily routine. Available in a choice of four earthy colours including slate grey, forest green, burnt orange and royal blue. Makes a great small gift or pair with our sturdy cotton shopper for a more substantial gift. 

Now in their fourth generation in the craft, and with over 100 years of bookbinding experience, bookbinding is a Duffy family tradition.

The bookbinding business was set up by Tommy Duffy and his wife Kathleen, Tommy being taught the art of bookbinding by his father Paddy Duffy. He started in the rear of his house on Beneavin Road, Co. Dublin. His sons Tom & Pat continued their father's business and in 1978 moved into what is still now their workshop at 106 Seville Place in Dublin's North inner city.

Now in their fourth generation, Tom's own son Tommy after undertaking his own bookbinding apprenticeship in 1997, continues the family legacy alongside his wife Patricia.
