Vintage Bus Blind Journal
Every journey deserves a record. The cover of this journal was once a bus destination blind, screen-printed linen that told passengers where they were headed. Now it holds something more personal: where you've been, what you noticed, what you want to keep.
Inside, five page formats make room for whatever a day produces. Lined for the things worth writing out. Plain for maps, sketches, rough thinking. Bordered for observations that deserve a frame. Dot grid when structure helps. Twelve collecting pockets (six glassine, six kraft) for the physical evidence a journey leaves behind: tickets, receipts, a torn-out address, a pressed leaf.
Most journals assume one kind of use. This one adapts. The graphic letterforms on the cover are fragments of a destination system 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.
