Truritralen
the origins
Approximately a year ago, the idea of creating a bullet journal started flourishing in my mind. I talked about it with my friend India, and she immediately accepted to follow me in this adventure. Without her, this project would never exist!
I have always loved to write and my life was marked by agendas and lots of notebooks. The idea here was to create an all-in-one notebook in order to be better organized.
It was essential for me to allow space for your creativity. I also wanted to guide you and give you ideas.
Frequently bullet journals give us so much freedom that we get lost and don’t know where to start. That’s why I decided to create a Manual of Instructions that will come with the agenda, helping you to maximize every page.
To reach a maximum of people, I chose English. Initially, I wanted to create it in two languages (one in French and one in Spanish). Maybe I’ll produce these other versions later.
You are not an expert in English? Don’t worry! The instruction manual that comes with the agenda (accessible through a QR code hidden inside the cover) is very visual, clear and playful, so you can forget any language barriers, and it will give you the desire to create and bring this journal to life.
Local &
eco-friendly
This bullet journal is a lot like me and is in compliance with my values. I choose paper stone and a Belgian printer: Albe de Coker.
Paper what?
Besides your contribution to maintaining the planet, you would have a beautiful agenda, strong, with soft touch and waterproof. So in addition to being eco-friendly it is a token of quality as well.
The price is justified by this two qualifications : locally sourced and eco-friendly.
Truritralen
why?
I chose “Truritralen” as the brand name because it’s my second name. It means “Joyful whisper of the water” and it comes from the Mapuches in Chile where I am originally from.
To strengthen the impact of the logo, it’s an incredible honour for me to have a painting done by my dad on the cover of my notebook! Since I was a child, I have always admired his work.
