Imagine a notebook whose pages already carry stories before you ever put pen to paper — a page that might once have been an architectural plan, a map, or a print overrun from a forgotten project. That’s the beauty and quiet magic behind Resketch, a brand that transforms rescued and reclaimed paper into beautifully bound notebooks, giving creative people a fresh surface filled with hidden histories.
What excatly does “rescued & reclaimed paper” mean?
Resketch builds its products entirely from 100% rescued and reclaimed paper, sourced in the United States. But they do not mean “rescued” as in “recycled” in its traditional sense. Instead of grinding down old paper into pulp, Resketch intercepts unused paper before it enters the waste stream. They utilize perfectly good material destined to be thrown away such as overstock from printers, misprints, maps, forms, architectural drawings, and other forgotten paper goods.

This subtle difference makes a big impact. By saving paper that is still fully usable, the brand sidesteps the energy-intensive recycling process while preserving the texture, quality, and history of the original paper. Every notebook, therefore, contains a mix of weights, tones, and even faint traces of the paper’s past, creating a dialogue between what was – and what will be created next.
The Resketch range aims to inspire exploration & expression
At the heart of the Resketch brand are its notebooks and journals, designed for writers, sketchers, and thinkers who appreciate both sustainability and character. Each notebook is unique, not only in its content but also in the subtle variations from one page to the next. It’s a tactile experience that feels alive, reminding you that creativity often thrives in imperfection.
For those who love collecting one-of-a-kind pieces, Resketch’s Limited Edition Notebooks offer something special. These small-run editions often incorporate rare rescued papers — from vintage sheet music to colorful print misfires — turning what might have been discarded into something distinctly beautiful.
The brand also extends its rescued-paper ethos beyond notebooks. Bookmarks, pads, pencils, and cards all follow the same principle: thoughtful design paired with thoughtful sourcing. And for brands or organizations eager to share that story, Resketch offers custom notebooks, allowing companies to create sustainable stationery that reflects their own values and identity.
Resketch’s approach resonates with anyone who loves design, paper, and the tangible process of making. Because the rescued paper carries traces of its previous life, no two notebooks are alike. You might find the faint ghost of an old blueprint on one page, the soft tint of aged paper on another. Rather than imperfections, these are invitations — reminders that creativity doesn’t start from a blank slate, but often builds on what came before.
