Visit Us at Fabrik, Lobethal
We’re thrilled to share that Rustic Wren has set up a pop-up workshop at the beautifully refurbished Fabrik artisan space in Lobethal!
Until Christmas, you can find us there, surrounded by a vibrant community of makers and creatives.
The workshop is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If you're planning a special trip to see Rustic Wren in action, drop us a message to confirm we’ll be on-site.
Fabrik offers so much more than our workshop—there’s a gallery with rotating exhibitions, a thoughtfully curated artisan shop at the entrance, and the chance to meet other local makers who share a love for handcrafted beauty.
It’s the perfect reason to take a scenic drive to Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills. We’d love for you to visit, explore, and soak up the creative spirit that fills this space.
There is also going to be a HANDMADE CHRISTMAS Market here on the 21st of Dec.

Let customers speak for us
from 107 reviewsThis handcrafted leather journal truly embodies authentic rustic charm. With its textured leather, marked by natural imperfections, it stands out not just for its unique character but as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Initially, I was apprehensive about the price, but upon receiving it, any reservations were instantly dispelled. Plus, the fact that it is locally crafted in Adelaide is an added bonus.
Beautiful leather journal for a perfect gift. Customer service was above and beyond. Thank you
Beautiful quality. Beautifully made
I ordered The Honey Eater Journal + Whistler Brushroll as a gift for a Artist friend and had it personalised. Jess was wonderful, communication was easy and she ensured I had the items in the required timeframe. When they arrived they looked great and the beautiful smell of the leather was wonderful. The giftee was thrilled to pieces with them.
Great customer service and the journal is even greater

Absolutely love my new leather journal, love the quality of the work and prompt delivery. Very happy, and would definitely consider buying other products.
Excellent quality and brilliant customer service
Bought this for my sister in law for Xmas. Embossed with her farm name on the front. She absolutely loved it!
Quality of the leather is great and the journal is such a unique gift/personal purchase. Jess does a lovely job and you can tell she loves what she does! Expect a delay for shipping as it is handcrafted (about a month from ordering to shipping but SO worth it). A truly excellent work of art!
I was looking for something different for my son for Xmas . The quality of the product was 100% perfect. I added his initials to the bottom corner . All very professionally done. Thank you . He loves it
Absolutely delighted with the quality of this product. It was bought as a present for Christmas and I cannot fault the service . It arrived well ahead of time with a very cute leather logo tag attached to the package. A nice touch
Ordered this for my son who is an avid cook and bbq enthusiast. We can’t wait to gift to him on his birthday. I love the quality and the detail and this will be with him for many many years to write and record his recipes. We did add the personalisation with his initials which added the extra touch. :blush:
Perfect, soft leather. Wraps easily and stays closed.
My daughter absolutely loved her journal. Thank you so much :heartbeat:
