Duffy bookbinders is a traditional family-run business, now in their fourth generation and Ireland's longest established bindery, Duffy's have earned a reputation for quality workmanship that is respected throughout the industry and beyond. This notebook has been bound by hand in their bindery on Seville Terrace, Dublin, beside the iconic five lamps.

 

This Pocket Notebook is the perfect size for taking with you on your adventures. The notebook is A6 size with a classic cloth finish, unlined pages & hand bound by Duffys Bookbinders in Dublin. Your eye-catching notebook will be a charming addition to your desk, handbag, glovebox, or satchel, alternatively it would make a lovely gift.

The front cover of the notebook is elegantly embossed with the Triskele symbol. Commonly used in Celtic & pre-Celtic art, carvings & teachings it depicts three interlocked spirals. What the Triskele is said to represent has many variations across history, culture & beliefs, most often it can be thought to represent; the family unit; mother, father & child, the whole person; body, mind & spirit, the lifecycle; life, death, re-birth.

The Notebook is finished in traditional Emerald Green cloth, with woven texture, a colour full of heritage & synonymous with Ireland.

 4. International Delivery

Depending on the shipping destination we may use either Fedex or DPD couriers. These services are provided at (or below) cost; they offer an insured service with door-to-door internet tracking, proof of delivery & a signature is required on delivery (subject to local Covid-19 exceptions).

There has been a noticeable increase in freight & shipping costs worldwide, the reasons are broad & complex; soaring demand, a shortage of containers, saturated ports, too few ships, shortage of workers, customs complexities and of course the impact of Covid which will continue for some time. This challenge is in no way unique to us at Irish Crafts but we have been left with no option but to increase shipping prices and adjust 'free shipping' thresholds. We have opted to reflect these increases fairly and transparently - applying them to our Shipping Costs and not simply adding to our product prices which remain among the most competitive in the market.

The table below provides an overview of the shipping destinations, estimated days & rates. If your destination is not listed, we may be able to provide you with a quote via email, please contact us.

 

Covid-19 Shipping Impact:

Spring 2022 has brought along a welcome recovery from Covid restrictions, however, there are global imbalances as to the pace of recovery and it will remain a changing landscape for some time yet. While we are continuing to fulfil online orders we advise you to expect delays and irregularities as to when & how shipments may be delivered at this time.

 

Customs & Duties outside the EU*:

If you reside outside the European Union (EU VAT Area) local taxes/duties are not included in your order total & are not the responsibility of the Irish Crafts.

The delivery agent may charge the recipient local duties, taxes and processing fees, should any apply, at the time of delivery. As we have no control over such taxes or charges, they are not calculated in your online total. You should contact your local customs office for more information.

*Brexit: Note from January 1st 2021 The UK is now considered to be outside the EU VAT area, with the exception of Northern Ireland. 

 

Ukraine & Russia

Following growing unrest in the regions, from February 24th 2022, we will cease all deliveries to Ukraine & Russia until further notice.
