Q&A with Ashley Reynolds
Ashley reviewing samples during her trip to Spain
So, what makes the Heirloom Collection stand apart from Cloth & Paper’s other Leather Planner collections?
The Heirloom Collection holds a special place among Cloth & Paper's Leather Planner collections. What sets it apart is the remarkable craftsmanship and unique story behind each piece. These one-of-a-kind leather covers are meticulously handmade by a family-owned business in Spain, emphasizing the importance of preserving traditional artisanal techniques.
Can you tell us more about your thought process when it came to design and manufacturing? Why Spain?
Our thought process when it came to the design and manufacturing of the Heirloom Collection was centered around creating a truly authentic and meaningful experience for our customers. We sought to establish a relationship with a manufacturer that shares our values and embodies a similar business ecosystem. Spain stood out to us as the perfect match, given its reputation for quality craftsmanship and the abundance of skilled artisans with decades of knowledge and experience working with local hides.

A key detail about the collection is that each folio is unique. Can you tell us more about this?
A key detail that makes the Heirloom Collection truly unique is its use of Egyptian hides. These hides are carefully selected, tanned, dyed, and then crafted in the heart of Spain. By incorporating these exotic materials into our designs, we aim to create a sense of luxury and sophistication that our clientele can use and then pass down for many years to come. Moreover, each piece in this collection comes with its on authentication code (an ID#) showing how truly unique and personal each piece is to the person that receives it.

Okay, we have to know: which leather folio variant from the collection is your favorite? Which notebook?
Don’t do this to me! Haha. Well, at this point they are all like my children because we have been working on them for more than a year. So, choosing a favorite leather folio variant or notebook from the collection is like asking a parent to pick a favorite child—it's truly difficult! Each design holds its own charm and allure, representing a distinct personality and style. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences and personal connection. Anyone who know me know I’m GOE (Graph Over Everything), and my favorite cover all depends on my personal mood.

Can you tell us about the designs for the coordinating España Collection notebooks? What makes them unique to the Cloth & Paper line?
What makes them unique to the Cloth & Paper line is the meticulous attention to detail in their design elements and the premium quality of the materials used. From the choice of paper to the modern embellishments, every aspect is carefully considered to ensure a harmonious blend of functionality and beauty. Also, how perfect are they that there is a corresponding notebook or system that can fit inside each size option?

When it came to manifesting the Heirloom Collection, what inspired you first – the notebooks or the folios? Was there a specific thought process that went into their release as a collective?
I envisioned them as a cohesive ensemble, perfectly matched to create a complete and exceptional writing experience. The thought process behind their release as a collective was to offer our customers a complete set that embodies the essence of longevity and refinement. Soooo, with that said they were simultaneously birthed from thought, because I always want to optimize any product I can by offering its corresponding components. This collection was most certainly a love letter to the C&P Fam, Cloth & Paper, and myself. In that order. 🖤
