Hi, I'm Jess!

I'm an artist from Germany who chose nature over the big bustling city. Here, I walk my dog through the forest every day and appreciate a slower, more creative life.

My love for all things crafty and handmade actually dates back to my childhood. I spent hours drawing, making new clothes for myBarbiedolls, and gifting beaded animals to my family and friends. My passion for creative hobbies has always been endless.

Today, that same spark drives Hase Holunda. For me, sustainability isn't just a trend. It’s the foundation of everything I make. That’s why I craft every notebook from 100% recycled paper and wrap them in colorful, vibrant designs.

"For me, sustainability isn't just a trend. It’s the foundation of everything I make."

I look closely when choosing the papers for my notebooks. A lot of the materials I source carry the Blue Angel label, the EU Ecolabel, and/or the FSC label. But what does all of that actually mean?

  • Blue Angel (Der Blaue Engel)

    It's the world's first and most recognized eco-label, originating in Germany. It certifies that the paper is produced with minimal environmental impact, including strict limits on chemicals, wastewater, and energy use. It guarantees the paper is truly recycled and safe for your skin.

  • EU Ecolabel

    The official European Union quality label for products with a reduced environmental footprint throughout their entire life cycle. It ensures the paper meets high EU standards for sustainability, from the sourcing of raw materials to the manufacturing process, ensuring no harmful substances were used.

  • FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)

    The global gold standard for responsible forestry. Even though your paper is recycled, the FSC label (specifically FSC Recycled) guarantees that the recycled fibers were sourced responsibly and that the supply chain is tracked to prevent illegal logging or mixing with virgin wood from controversial sources.
