Our Story - Journals & Journeys
WANDERINGS: Our Story
We are a Canadian-based, family-owned business passionate about crafting products that inspire exploration, creativity, and connection. We have a deep appreciation for the simple joys of journaling, sketching, and documenting life’s adventures.
In a digital world often overwhelmed by screens and notifications, many are calling for a return to real life—tangible experiences that allow us to unplug, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. We believe that putting pen to paper or creating by hand offers a meaningful escape from digital fatigue, helping us slow down and truly savor the moment.
Our notebooks, journals, and handmade paper are not only beautiful and functional but also ethically sourced and environmentally conscious. Our handmade paper is crafted from recycled cotton fibers leftover from the garment industry—a practice that continues a tradition dating back to the 14th century in India. This sustainable process transforms residual materials into cherished, one-of-a-kind pages for your stories and art.
Many of our products carry the SMETA certification, ensuring they are made under rigorous ethical standards—respecting workers' rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Additionally, our products are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which guarantees that the materials used come from responsibly managed forests that prioritize ecological sustainability, conservation, and social responsibility.
At Wanderings, we believe that the act of putting pen to paper is a meaningful way to truly savor the journey. Whether you’re capturing memories, planning your next adventure, or expressing your creativity, we’re excited to accompany you on your journey.
Join us as we celebrate the spirit of exploration, craftsmanship, and mindful living. Here’s to your next adventure—Happy Wanderings!
