About the Manufacturer
Corban & Blair is - Gillian Corban and Amanda Blair and their very talented staff.
Their business & personal philosophy is to be creative, sustainable, passionate & relevant.
Right from the beginning they were serious and committed to design, excellence and best business practice, but they never envisaged the stimulating, creative enterprise of wonderful employees, associates, suppliers and customers they continue to work with.
Corban & Blair opened a niche in designer Australian stationery for many to follow. They were inspired by others and in turn, inspired other new creative businesses.
They know this because they talk to others, share information, contacts and ideas.
Twenty years later their approach is still hands on and fashion orientated combining environmental considerations for utility, durability and recycling.
They like to lead the field in ideas and concepts so they try new approaches and materials. This involves risk, but it is the essence of innovation and leadership – it keeps them focused.
Creating two retail collections a year, special products for other brands and designing unique product solutions for the business sector is harder than it sounds- but they love the challenge.
Corban & Blair constantly search for new ideas and concepts to add value and meaning to their products. Ideas come from nature, technology, other cultures, materials, textures or their intuitive responses to the market place.
Corban & Blair are members of the Marrickville Target Sustainability Business Program. They are committed to making a lighter footprint in everything they do and they hope their customers will join them. They are committed to operating a business that targets environmental sustainability. They pay the carbon credits on all their New Zealand made photo frames. They sponsor a child in PLAN, a school in Tanzania and support the arts, schools, education and mentor and coach within the business community and work with Euraba Indigenous artists and papermakers.
They have run a profitable business, provided employment, paid our bills, mentored and helped others, provided opportunities for students and young people, partnered with customers and generally participated in the community. They have evolved a sustainable business model ie turn over, profitability, creativity, staffing and passion; with time to give back to the community.
They think it is an achievement to have been in a business for over twenty years, that they are still passionate about.

This was a present for a person who is notoriously hard to buy for, and it turned out to be the perfect present. So thanks to Temple and Webster for such a great range of products. |

Reasonable quality for the price. The notebook included is for sketching, but is easily replaced with a different A5 book which is great. |
The perfect A5 leather journal that meets all the advertised expectations.

The quality of this product is fantastic. What makes it even better is that it is Australian made. The fact that you can replace the notepad inside means that i can keep using this journal for years to come. It's small and compact yet offers a card and pen holder, making it perfect for personal and business use. I am totally in love with my personalised leather journal and have recommended to friends to buy one. |
