If your sketches don’t like limits, meet the handcrafted accordion notebook. The cover is made from invasive Cana fibers, and the 90-120gsm pages are recycled white paper mixed with Cana fibers for extra texture.

To make EVT notebooks extra special, we collaborated with Sandrine, a French professional book restorer and artisan based in Évora through her @latelier.evora 💗

This coffret-notebrook set is available at our website extravirginthoughts.com and at our Etsy shop (link in bio) or via DM 💫

Seeing my olive-leaf paper transformed by a skilled artisan into beautiful coffrets is a reminder of how much stronger our creations become when we trust one another’s hands. Their craftsmanship didn’t just complement my work; it elevated it. 🔥

Grateful for the exchange, the shared passion, and the kind of collaboration that honors both materials and makers.
Make sure you check her own stationery collection at her lovely atelier once you're in town. 🌿 taken in Évora, Portugal by @extravirginthoughts

EVT Notebooks are available on our website extravirginthoughts.com and on our Esty shop (in our bio and via) DM. 🌿

Each notebook is fully handmade using our one-of-a-kind paper crafted from Portuguese olive leaves, lined with cotton fabric, and bound with natural starch glue. 💫

This edition comes with an improved design: a vibrant cotton fabric strip over the spine and a button closure to lock in all those extra virgin thoughts of yours. 😉 taken in Évora, Portugal by @extravirginthoughts

This notebook didn’t start with a final design.
It started with a question: What can I create from what’s already around me?

Step by step, it grew.
With little money and small resources and a lot of passion, I started sourcing materials locally (some literally from next door) experimenting with textures, colors, and techniques. Every decision was guided by the process itself, not by a fixed plan. I let the notebook find its own form.

The cover is made from discarded natural materials, transformed through traditional know-how and patient experimentation. It’s tactile, sturdy, and designed to be refillable, so it can stay with you for years.

For me, this is more than just a notebook. It’s a small example of how design can grow slowly, respectfully, and sustainably, with every stage adding its own layer of meaning.

If you’d like one to make your own story on its pages, DM me for purchase 🌿✏️
