2024 DIARY | BLACK
DESCRIPTION
Now in its eighth year, the Mark+Fold Diary is appreciated by stationery connoisseurs around the world and we are proud to gain new converts each year.
Our award-winning layout provides clarity and structure without being prescriptive, so you have the freedom to create your own 'system'. Being avid stationery lovers ourselves, we use only the most exceptional paper — made in Sweden, silky smooth, and fountain-pen-friendly
The black cover has always been the classic and our best-seller. We've used a slightly smoother material this year, so it will feel a little different if you're familiar with our black diary from previous years. We have been doing lots of testing and found the foil '2024' just looked so crisp on this one, that we couldn't resist switching things up.
Please note the paper we use for the pages has had to change this year, due to one of our favourite mills in Scotland closing down. Read more here

REVIEWS
"I was actually really surprised by how hard it was to find a planner that's sophisticated and sleek, I'm so glad I stumbled across yours." Kate, Hereford
"This is the absolute best week at a glance layout that I've ever seen in a planner. The details are all right. The ability to use the day section by time (morning, afternoon, evening) or as a to-do list, or both. And the space below to write extraneous notes. It's brilliant!" Joel, Chicago

LAYOUT
The Mark+Fold Diary layout is the result of extensive research, and in-depth discussions with our customers.
We focused on providing a clear 'picture of the week' using elegant, clean typography and neat 'zoning' of the page. We have kept things as simple as possible, with a view to offering structure without being prescriptive.
The aim was to inspire you to make plans and feel excited about getting organised, but with the freedom to build your own 'system' — one that works for you and your life.
HOW IT'S MADE
We use a fountain-pen-friendly 120gsm paper, which is super smooth and a beautiful, warm off-white shade. It is made sustainably in Sweden.
All our notebooks and diaries are bound in thread-sewn sections with cold glue, resulting in a book that is as robust as it is elegant. The cover is attached via a strong 'hinge' front and back, rather than having any stiff glue applied along the spine itself. This allows for beautiful flexibility and a perfect 'layflat' for the most comfortable writing experience. We use only FSC-certified papers.

Customer Reviews
I've struggled for years to find the right format for my diary (I run a busy business and need to look at my commitments in different ways. In the M+F week per view diary I've finally found that, along with superb attention to detail, finishing and paper quality. Thank you!
Late to the party for 2023 but will definitely be pre-ordering for 2024. Now........on to notebooks. Unfortunately I have a stack of notebooks not yet started due to having a slight buying problem, but I'll certainly be using M+F from now on..........
Looks great on my desk. Light enough to carry in my messenger bag, even when I'm in London on business. HB pencil erases perfectly ( I only ever use pencil in my diary).
Just the best.
I'm on a bit of a journey finding the right work planner and diary and so far, so good! You can see and feel the quality and it's a pleasure to use. Time will tell how it copes with busy periods but I think this is a keeper - finally!
The products and customer service are second to none . The products are of such a high standard that it really feel like a treat to be able to use them on a daily basis , a touch of luxury every day .
