Each stroke brings their unique patterns to life, evoking awe and respect for nature’s wonders. Take an artistic safari, immersed in the beauty and harmony of Africa’s wildlife.
DIMENSIONS:
Closed: 16 x 23.5cm / Open: 46 x 23.5cm
HOW IT IS MADE: Each artwork-come-design is a labor of love that begins with Sharon spending many nights painting a myriad of little creatures and plant life. The next step is to scan these beautiful artworks at a very high resolution, ensuring even the most minute detail is captured. Once digitized, the visual elements’ placement is meticulously worked out, following the technical patterns of each WREN item: a laptop sleeve, an iPad cover, a notebook organizer, or a wallet.
Next comes Wren’s paper, commonly referred to as “cement” paper due to the company’s origins with a literal cement packaging bag (you can read the story here). Even today, there remains a strong link to cement because Wren uses the same type of paper, but from a different source.
Ten years ago, Wren collected misprinted cement packets, but now the company sources and collects this paper directly from local packaging printing factories. These factories discard the ends of paper reels due to creases, imperfections, or their small size, and Wren acquires the paper from them. This process involves a combination of recycling, reclaiming, upcycling, and repurposing.
Once the paper is delivered to the Wren studio in Muizenberg, Cape Town, it gets printed and handed over to Wren’s expert team of makers (meet the team). The skilled hands and sharp eyes of our makers meticulously hand-cut the printed paper, fuse it with cotton to enhance its strength, stitch it with great care, and apply a coating of environmentally-friendly Nano Liquid Glass for water resistance.
More information about Wren’s paper, coating, printing, and packaging can be found here.
| Coating | Wren paper products are coated with Nano liquid glass, making them water, dirt and oil resistant. This is an environmentally friendly coating. |
|---|---|
| Materials | Reinforced paper, metal tip ends, cotton fabric, magnets. |
| Notebook | A5 Size. 2x Flexible Kraft cover journals. Journal body 64pg (32 leaves). 80gsm unprinted acid-free of white paper. Binding: Thread-sewn, perfect bind (for a proper strong and), cased in. |
| Care Instructions | Unlike fabric, paper is smooth and dirt does not naturally cling to it., If your product does get some marks on it that you do not like you can gently try to an eraser. Be careful of rubbing too hard as this may remove some parts of the Nano protective coating., OIL: If you get an oily mark on the paper that the Nano was unable to resist, try putting some bi-carb or baby powder on the mark overnight. The powder will “absorb” the mark and make it disappear., WATER: If you find yourself dashing between buildings and using your WREN product as an umbrella (which we do not recommend), wipe the excess water off it as quickly as possible., The Nano layer is protective but does not make the product waterproof. We also discourage scuba diving with Wren products., STUBBORN MARKS: If a mark refuses to budge, we suggest grabbing any permanent marker and making a feature of it. Add eyes, doodle over, write a message – anything. Make it your unique mark! |
Quality workmanship and service
Every product is quality checked by 3 people to ensure there are no tears in the paper, unravelling stitches or faulty studs. We have an very high quality standard. If something happens that is a manufacturing fault, please let us know so that we can make it right.
Better with time
The paper has been referred to as wearing like leather. The paper softens, the product becomes "worn-in", and acquires a unique patina. Through everyday use the creases become tonal patterns and are visual marks of your life. We hope that these marks are of adventure, travel and happy days.Read More.
