Cara Cara Sketchbook

Pith

£19

200 x 140 mm The Cara Cara Sketchbook features 76 pages of sustainable 200 gsm off-white paper. We use a binding method known as Smyth sewing or Section sewing . This requires 10 folded sections to be machine-sewn in-house into book blocks. This stage is crucial for durability and the books’ lay-flat capabilities. These book blocks are then bound by hand with a thin layer of water-based PVA. We leave our binding exposed as this technique provides maximum flexibility, allowing the book to open completely flat on every single page. Compare Size

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as PITH LTD, number 12729284. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Our products are conceptualised, developed, manufactured, and finished by hand under one roof in our beachside factory in Berwick-upon-Tweed." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
