Mark+Fold for Community Clothing A5 Notebook Blue

Blue A5 Notebook with 48 plain pages, made in the UK from recycled denim offcuts

£16.00

Notebooks made 100% in the UK, using denim offcuts from the Community Clothing jeans factory in Lancashire. 

Our collaboration with Patrick Grant and Community Clothing takes offcuts from the cutting room at their Lancashire jeans factory, and turns them into a beautiful 100% recycled paper for Notebook covers. The inside pages, also made in the UK, are a high quality 120gsm white paper, slightly more textured than our usual fountain pen papers. The custom-made paper is created in Cumbria by Paper Foundation, before travelling down to Suffolk for blind-debossing and Singer-sewing.

The range includes A5 & A6 Singer-sewn notebooks in 3 colours to match the jeans they're made from: Black, Indigo and Blue. Plus a Special Edition 2025 Diary in Indigo.

Best

I love the 2025 special edition diary! The denim paper feels amazing and of course the reuse factor is awesome. The thought and care Mark+Fold put into their products is so appreciated, and I know this is the diary for me for life. Highly recommend.

Great!

I like using A6 notebooks for birdwatching as it's a good size and fits in camera bag etc. these are lovely and despite having a "soft" cover, I find I can still write on the go which is good (instead of needing a table or something)

They are a fantastic use offcuts to produce quality stationery and I'm already using 1 of them.
