MEET JESS
The Hands Behind Rustic Wren
I’m Jess, the founder, maker, and the hands behind every Rustic Wren notebook.
What started as a quiet creative outlet has become something bigger: a legacy-led leather goods brand built from the ground up in the Adelaide Hills.
I work slow, in small batches. Every cut, every stitch, every detail is intentional. There’s no assembly line here, just real tools, real leather, and real pride in what I make.
These notebooks are made to be used, gifted, and carried for years. They’re not just beautiful, they’re practical. Strong. Personal.
And yes, I still emboss each one by hand.
FIND YOUR NOTEBOOK STYLE
Not all notebooks are made equal — and neither are the people who carry them. Whether you're mapping out a project, taking field notes, or sketching ideas on the go, there’s a style built for how you think and work. Find the one that fits like a good pair of boots — built to last, and made to move with you.

The Story Begins in Leather
He wrote with the dust of the stock route still clinging,
Ink thick with the heat of a mid-year sun.
In a land that forgets nothing, he remembered
In leather-bound lines, the stories begun.
With calloused hands or cuffed sleeves, he returned to the page
Not to prove, but to preserve.
Australia is written in those who remember
That a man’s word should outlast his tools.
Unknown Bush Poet, Found on a Well-Worn Page
