About us

Hi, I’m Sonali — the founder of Zen Scribbles, a small handmade journals business based in San Francisco, California.

I started Zen Scribbles in 2021 out of a deep love for books, journaling, and the simple joy of using a journal that feels just right in your hands. Every journal is hand-bound using full grain Italian leather, carefully sourced from leftover scraps from a furniture designer — so each piece is unique, eco-conscious, and rich in character.

Zen Scribbles is for writers, dreamers, creatives, and old souls who believe in the magic of pen and paper. If you love the feel of soft, well-worn leather, and appreciate craftsmanship that’s personal and thoughtful — these journals were made for you.

Thanks for being here,
– Sonali
