My girlfriend's favorite birthday gift, and the quality was truly unmatched. From the leather to stitching, genuinely appreciated the effort. Thank you Kausar

Very Friendly and helpful service.
I had a special request for a vegan recipe book to give as a gift and I was assisted promptly and efficiently.
The product is also great and my partner loved his gift!

The quality and presentation of the wallet is excellent. Had some trouble getting the wallet to the US through customs at the holidays, but Kausar was very responsive and helpful. A+ for customer service!

My only wish is that the pages were not all seperated into seperate books. Other than that great work!

Thanks for your help

From the initial interaction, to the delivery of the product, it was amazing. Great advice and customer service

Not only was my recipe book perfectly made, the shipping was super quick and easy. I placed my order and it was made, shipped, and delivered all the way to California in just a week. It was a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, and she loved it!!

Beautiful journal. Very prompt delivery and communication ++

Amazing! Beautiful gift and incredible customer service -highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Indigo Artisans highly enough. I had been lucky enough to receive one of their journals so was familiar with the quality of the product.
From placing the order, communication has been fantastic. Kausar has gone above and beyond to get the journal to me as quickly as possible.
It arrived beautifully boxed and gift wrapped, and has been handed over to a very delighted recipient today. They are blown away with how personal it is to them.
Thank you again for your incredible attention to detail.and exceptional customer service.

Item arrived beautifully presented and with a lovely handwritten note. This is going to make a great gift. Thanks Kausar!

A top quality product with speedy delivery.

When I found this product online it looked perfect for a very specific gift.
I wanted to amend the text and had difficulty at first in making the changes on line, but a message to the company ( Kausar) and it was sorted very quickly.
The little journal arrived within days and is just perfect for my purpose. Stored in a rose gold coloured heart tin, the teeny journal is beautifully bound in leather with contrasting stitching. There are twenty eight pages of quality paper for text…it’s now over to me to do the writing,very, very small.
For me, this handcrafted mini journal is beautiful and perfect for my needs, a keepsake for eternity. Thank you Kausar.

The item was a gift for a musical friend. I have bought similar items from Indigo Artisans for myself and as gifts before. The journals are beautiful handmade pieces and shipping was fast. I love these journals 😍

CUSTOM MADE & TAILORED TO YOU
All Indigo Artisans items are Custom Made To Order so you will be purchasing something that will be made just for you, whether you pick something from my existing products or choose to go for something more custom & tailor made.
For gifting, nothing says it better than a thoughtful present lovingly made with the recipient’s likes, quirks & character in mind. I love to bring your ideas to life & have worked on bespoke commissions from giant guestbooks to poetic journals & more. We can work together to design the perfect piece & I will handcraft it just for you. Browse to see all the options available, pick & mix the things you like or work with me for something completely custom & get in touch to make it a reality.
