Heirloom Journals, One of a Kind. Made from Stories.
Question
What makes somethingworth keeping?
Banarasi silk. Old letters. Wedding envelopes. Papers from another time. Things with a story.
Artist
The maker who couldn't throw beautiful things away.
The creator
For more than a decade, Savera Kiani — a mother of four and a lawyer by training — has been collecting what most people overlook: vintage papers, old wedding invitations, tailoring remnants, tea-dyed pages, lace, embroidery, sari trims.
Twelve years of tea-dyeing, stitching and composing later, that instinct has become a discipline. What began as junk journaling in a home in Islamabad has grown into the work of an intuitive maximalist — layered, tactile art journals made with what is here, built slowly, one at a time, for the people who ask for them by name.
Over 100 journals sold across 7 countries around the world.
Memory
A fabric that waited twenty years to become a book.
The make
A length of Banarasi silk, given by Savera's parents for her wedding. Meant for a bed cover once. Later a window pelmet. Then packed away and forgotten.
Years on, it was found again — and became a journal.
Family history, kept rather than discarded. Rediscovered. Transformed. Carried forward, page by page.
Journal
Composed, not assembled.
Every Trinketz book begins with something that has lived a previous life —
Nothing here is decorative filler. These are materials with a past — and because many cannot be found again, no book can ever be exactly repeated.
Each book is slowly composed by hand — tea-dyed, stitched, layered and rearranged until it feels right. One original work, made for one collector.
Before the Collectors’ List existed, the making didn’t stop. A small collection of finished, one-of-a-kind books is ready to meet its first collectors.
Collectors’ Chronicles
In the words of the people who've kept one.
Everything you've made is absolutely gorgeous — masterpieces in their own right. I will love and cherish the journal you made, and it will be in my family for many years to come, for all to reference and celebrate.
A journal kept for years
“It took me months to save up for it, but every penny I spent on that book was worth it.
The journal was so beautiful I never found the courage to write in it. I still keep it where I can see it each time I create my own journals. It serves to boost me up whenever I need inspiration.”
