We utilize the renowned Tomoe River 68 gsm white paper, which is widely acclaimed as the optimal choice for fountain pen use.

Absolutely! Our entire product range is 100% vegan-friendly. We don’t use leather (you can read more here), and our wax is completely bee-free.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

Absolutely! Waxed canvas items can be refreshed with new wax. You can use any dry rub-on wax of your choice to ensure your LOCHBY items remain water-resistant and as vibrant as the day you received them. Just be sure to avoid high temperatures, as they can damage the inserts.

We recommend Otter Wax’s fabric waxes, which you can purchase from their website here or at their Amazon store.

For cleaning, use warm water and a mild detergent, such as dish or hand soap, and then air dry. Our journals are designed with a plastic sheet for added structure, ensuring durability even if they get wet. However, please avoid exposing them to high temperatures to prevent warping.

Yes! However, we recommend avoiding an iron, as the adhesive from patches doesn’t adhere well to waxed canvas. The heat could also damage the internal plastic sheet of our journals. For best results, sew on patches using a curved needle, ensuring that you stay between the canvas and the protective sheet.
