Last updated: October 2026. Quick answer: House of Falguni's Katha diaries are hand-wrapped block-print cotton journals, each an unruled diary of 200 pages with centre binding and a 4.5 × 7 inch page size, in twenty one-of-a-kind prints at ₹1,499 each. Each print has its own page, so you can see the cover you will actually receive.
A diary needs no size, which is why it leads our Secret Santa gifts and sits near the top of the Christmas gifts edit.
Katha means a story, and that is the idea: a place to keep yours. The cover is block-printed by hand with carved wooden blocks, so print placement and colour shift between pieces. Inside, recycled rag paper brings a tactile surface for writing, sketching or keeping an aesthetic journal, and the pages are unruled so each spread can become whatever you need it to be. Every diary is produced in limited quantities. The prints rotate, and once an edition is gone, it is gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does each print have its own page?
Because each cover is one of a kind. Choosing from a page of photos shows you the exact print you will receive, and when a print sells, its page shows that it has gone.
What makes the Katha Fabric Diary different from a regular notebook?
The cover is hand block-printed cotton, made with traditional Indian techniques: Ajrakh geometric patterns, Madhubani folk motifs and floral block prints. Inside are 200 unruled pages of recycled rag paper, with centre binding and a 4.5 × 7 inch page size.
Can I use it as an aesthetic journal or sketchbook?
Yes. The unruled pages suit lists, doodles, pressed flowers, taped-in tickets and pages of plain writing, and a hand block-printed cover means your aesthetic diary will not look like anyone else's. Test wet inks and heavy markers on a back page first. If you need a place to start, we collected

Do the diaries come with journaling prompts?
Yes, free online. Every cover has its own
Haath Se prompt sheet: seven prompts for one week, by hand, drawn from that print's motifs and craft. The prompts are free to read and the sheets are free to print.
Is the Katha Fabric Diary actually handmade?
Yes. The fabric cover is block-printed by hand with carved wooden blocks, so small variations in print placement and colour exist between pieces. Those variations are the signature of artisan craft, not a flaw.
What are the page size and page details?
Each diary has 200 unruled pages, centre binding and a 4.5 × 7 inch page size (width × height). Closed, the diary measures 5.7 × 7 inches and is 0.9 inch thick. It is offered in twenty hand block-printed covers, with one of each design in stock.
Is the Katha Fabric Diary a good gift?
The block-print cover, unruled pages and recycled paper make it a thoughtful alternative to an ordinary diary for birthdays, housewarmings,
Diwali gifts and
corporate gifting. It is available on its own or paired with other HOF pieces in a curated hamper.
Is the Katha Fabric Diary limited edition?
Yes. Each print is made in small numbers, with one of each cover in stock at a time. The prints rotate, and once an edition sells out it does not return, so a design you love is worth choosing when you see it.
How do I care for it?
Wipe the fabric cover gently with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not wash or soak it. Keep it out of direct sun and away from moisture.
