Love for the environment, love for humanity is what has led us at 1 Old Note to launch our brand of designer journals - Printed Honey.

We launched our brand as a means to finance our #Shespeaks initiative that aims at developing skills for women and improving the lives of children in South Africa hence 8% of our proceeds go towards that. You can be part of the movement by buying a journal for yourself and your loved ones at https://printedhoney.africa.

Founded by Lithakazi Mkombe who studied Architectural Technology at the Durban University of Technology, whose passion is sustainability, our journals are sustainably manufactured using genuine cork leather.

Our cork leather is ethically sourced locally, handstitched, biodegradable and reusable. The pages of our journals are recyclable in turn reducing environmental impact.
