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
From stitched folios to soft-wrap classics, each style is made to suit the way you work, think, and carry your ideas. These are the notebooks we’ve designed by hand - tested, refined, and built to last. Pick the one that feels like yours.

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
