Hi! I'm Carla and I am a bookbinder & stationery stockist based in Atlanta, Georgia.

From a kid, I was mesmerized by journals and stationery. After settling in Atlanta and soon after meeting a wonderful calligraphy and bookbinding instructor, I fell in love with bookbinding. After gifting some pieces at a holiday gathering, I received many compliments and inquiries about pricing. After these interactions, the intention was set to create my company The Causal Bookbinder (formerly Harper + Charlotte Handmade Books).

While learning the basics of bookbinding to create solid, long-lasting structures, I was exposed to many alternatives to using large bulky equipment that is common in commercial binding. I embraced the minimalist style and coined the moniker, "The Casual Bookbinder." I am more than happy to create and curate journals & stationery worthy of your experiences!
