As part of our "Around the world in 12 Boxes Subscription", the All-About Paper Box from India, we are proud to present you with a few notebooks left.
The first shipment from India was, unfortunately, very unlucky and 99% of the notebooks arrived with some transportation damages (i.e. broken pages, torn pages etc). But, as a sustainable business, we always try not to produce waste and since these notebooks are still perfectly usable and super cute, we've decided to add them to our outlet. Check them out now!

THE HINGLISH PROJECT: Despite the superficial distinctiveness of English and Hindi, the two borrow from the same phonetic pool - they both belong to the Indo-European group of languages. Shirin Johari's font design playfully highlights these commonalities. The font cannot teach you how to read words as they are spelt in Hindi, but it aims to demystify individual letters in its script and make the language more approachable.
