Vintage Bus Blind Travel Journal

A destination system that no longer exists, screen-printed on linen, now holding a record of where you've been.

This travel journal wears a cover that began as a bus destination blind, the screen-printed linen that told passengers where they were headed. Each cover is vintage material that spent years in service on working buses, some more than a decade ago, so it arrives with softened edges, a cover that may not lie perfectly flat, and the patina of age.

A journal for whatever a day produces, and for any chapter of life worth remembering. Inside, five page formats: lined for the things worth writing out, plain for maps, sketches and rough thinking, bordered for observations that deserve a frame, dot grid when structure helps. Twelve collecting pockets, six glassine and six kraft, hold the physical evidence a chapter leaves behind: tickets, receipts, a torn-out address, a pressed leaf.

The graphic letterforms on the cover are fragments of a route that no longer exists, and a quiet reminder that the best record of any journey is the one you kept yourself.

Hand assembled in England by Sukie Studio, Darrell and Julia Gibbs, whose practice began in Brighton's vintage markets with a deep appreciation for objects that carry history.
