Quick answer: The Label Gaia Hemp Diary is a reusable A5 cover in a 70% hemp, 30% cotton blend, paired with a refillable non-dated notebook of 160 ruled and planner pages on 80 gsm treeless paper. When the pages run out you replace the insert, not the whole diary. Covers start at Rs 900 and run to Rs 1,700 across ten designs.
Most notebooks are single-use. The pages fill up and the whole thing, cover included, goes in the bin. A refillable cover changes that maths: one durable cover, and only the paper gets replaced.
What the Hemp Diary actually is
A reusable A5 cover crafted from a 70% hemp, 30% cotton blend, holding a refillable non-dated A5 notebook. Covers come in AZO-free colours with a zip, an outside zip pocket and a metal tag.
Inside, the notebook uses 80 gsm treeless paper made from waste paper rather than newly cut trees, with 160 ruled and planner pages. Because it is non-dated, you can start any time of year.

Why choose a refillable hemp diary
- One cover, many notebooks. A single durable cover can serve for years while only the paper insert is replaced.
- Treeless paper. Every refill is made from waste paper rather than freshly harvested wood pulp.
- A cover that ages well. The hemp-cotton blend develops a soft, natural texture with handling rather than cracking the way coated covers do.
- Non-dated pages. No wasted months if you start in June.
- Gifting that keeps working. Because the cover is refillable, the gift stays useful well past the first notebook.

As a gift
A refillable diary is one of the few gifts that keeps being useful after the first year. At Rs 900 to Rs 1,700 it sits at a workable per-head budget for team gifting, and it pairs naturally with a hemp card holder from Rs 599. Both are available through the corporate gifting range.
