Handstitched Coptic Binding: The handstitched Coptic binding represents the quality and timelessness imbued in the oldest of crafts. These journals are hand sewn using centuries-old traditional methods, with the Copts, or Egyptian Christians, as early as the 4th century. They are held together with a chain or Coptic stitch, named after the Christian Copts who used this stitch to bind together their folded parchment manuscripts. The type of knot that we use is called a chain stitch, and it is appreciated by bookmakers and booklovers alike for its intricate beauty. Even more importantly, our journals will thrill the writer with pages that lie perfectly flat: a sure sign of fine bookmaking at work. Don’t let a spine get in the way of jotting down your fleeting thoughts. Instead, delight in a truly well-made object and let it remind you that the finest things in life are the ones that last.
