About us
Who We Are
Craftsmanship, tradition, and modern design - at basenotes, we believe in creating more than just notebooks. We create timeless tools for ideas, stories, and moments that deserve to be preserved.
basenotes was born from a deep passion for the art of bookbinding, an ancient craft that we’ve revitalised with modern principles. Each notebook, planner, and sketchbook is meticulously handcrafted to merge simplicity, functionality, and artistry—offering products that are not only beautiful but designed to last.
We honour tradition while staying grounded in the needs of today’s creatives and thinkers, offering a seamless blend of the past and present.
Our Story
It all began in 2018, with a vision to reconnect people with the art of writing and the joy of creativity. Our founder’s love for traditional craftsmanship and sustainable practices inspired the launch of Basenotes, a brand dedicated to crafting premium, eco-conscious products that bring a sense of purpose back to daily life.
As we’ve grown, so has our mission—to preserve the beauty of handmade goods while making them accessible and relevant to today’s fast-paced world. Our journey is a testament to the power of mindful creation, and we invite you to be part of it.
Our Craftsmanship
At basenotes, we believe that every detail matters. Our notebooks and sketchbooks are the result of time-honored techniques passed down through generations. From hand-sewn binding to responsibly sourced materials, each product reflects the care, precision, and creativity of the artisans behind it.
We take pride in every curve, line, and texture, knowing that these details become part of your experience when you use our notebooks to jot down thoughts, sketch your ideas, or organise your day.
