General Questions

1. What is Again Again?

Again Again is a small, handmade stationery business that creates bespoke, recycled notebooks from discarded paper and fabric. Every notebook is unique, carefully crafted by hand, and made to be used, loved, and eventually remade again!

2. What makes Again Again notebooks different from other notebooks?

Unlike mass-produced notebooks, every Again Again piece is:

• Handmade from 100% recycled paper and fabric

• Hand-sewn without synthetic glue, using a natural adhesive for the covers

• Variations in colour, texture, and stitching make each notebook truly one of a kind

• Sustainably crafted, with all materials sourced from waste or donations

Product & Customisation Questions

3. Can I choose the colour of my notebook’s pages?

Yes! You can select up to two colours for your pages. However, since no dyes or additives are used, colors are determined by the original recycled materials. This means some natural variation will occur, making each notebook a beautiful surprise!

4. How is the cover material chosen?

Each cover is made from recycled fabric, often sourced from old clothes, fabric offcuts, or donations. When you place a custom order, I’ll contact you with a selection of fabrics to choose from so you can pick the one that speaks to you!

5. What binding method do you use?

I use traditional kettle stitch binding and french link binding, techniques that makes the notebooks durable, flexible, and able to lay completely flat when open—perfect for sketching or journaling.

6. Are the pages smooth or textured?

Because the paper is handmade, it has a naturally varied texture. Some pages will be smoother, while others will have a more organic, fibrous feel. The thickness of each page also varies slightly, giving the notebook a raw, natural character.

Ordering & Shipping

7. How long does it take to make my notebook?

Since each notebook is handmade from scratch, orders typically take 3 to 5 days to process before shipping. If you need something urgently, please contact me, and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

8. Do you ship internationally?

Yes! Again Again ships worldwide. Shipping times and costs vary based on location, and all packaging is eco-friendly and plastic-free.

9. Can I request a fully custom notebook?

Absolutely! If you have a specific vision for your notebook (e.g., a certain color scheme or fabric with sentimental value), feel free to reach out. I’d love to collaborate on something meaningful for you.

Sustainability & Care

 

10. How eco-friendly are your notebooks?

Again Again notebooks are made from 100% recycled materials, using no synthetic dyes or glues. Even the binding thread is carefully chosen to ensure sustainability. Each notebook can be recycled or even remade into a new notebook when you’re done with it!

11. Can I compost my notebook when I’m finished with it?

Yes! Because they are biodegradable, you can compost the pages. The fabric cover and binding thread should be removed first.

12. How should I care for my notebook?

Since the covers are fabric-based, they may absorb moisture or stain if exposed to liquids. Store your notebook in a dry place, and if needed, gently spot-clean the cover with a damp cloth.
