2025 Diary | Black

A5 minimal week-view diary, 120gsm fountain-pen-friendly paper, thread-sewn layflat binding

£45.00

Our week-view diary gains new converts each year, thanks to quality, simplicity and practicality of our unique design. 

Developed in conversation with our customers and following decades of observations about what works well (and what doesn't), we created our unique diary layout in 2016. 

The simple grid is designed to give you maximum writing space and just enough structure to organise your plans, but without getting in your way. We like to give you the freedom to create your own system, so the light-touch layout feels almost like an invisible frame to hold your notes and plans. Creating an instinctive picture-of-the-week to jog your memory and help you scope out your commitments. Designed in 2016 by Swiss-German typographic designer Catherine Nippe in collaboration with Mark+Fold founder Amy Cooper-Wright.

Fountain pen friendly paper

In carefully selecting our papers, we consider everything from the feel of the paper in your hands, to its opacity, smoothness and resistance to feathering with fountain pen.

Layflat, thread-sewn binding

When you sit at your desk to make grand plans, the last thing you need is an annoying distraction like a book that will not open flat. Our specialist layflat binding combines thread-sewing with cold glue. Normally reserved for artist publications, this special technique creates a book that is as robust as it is elegant.

Perfect Seconds

I am now into my third year of using Mark + Fold diaries, and I am sure I will be a lifelong fan. The quality of the diary is second to none, the design is minimal enough to allow you to use it in a multitude of ways but still provides a great base structure to work from. I have changed how I organise my time lately, so my weekly spread looks very different to how it did in the past years books, but the layout of the diary lends itself perfectly to so many different styles and preferences. I can see it growing with me as years go by, and knowing I have such a great company to come back to year after year feels like such a treat in the depths of winter!

MY LIFELINE

For many years I would buy a diary use it for a few months and then change to another (or a few) as they never worked for me.
Then six years ago a Mark+Fold landed in my lap. I've never looked back.
This is my third year using the limited edition, I love the texture and the way it feels when I pick it up - also it's durable and hard wearing.
Now my diary buying is easy - I wait for a pre-order email and get my diary purchase done in August each year.
Please don't even change it.
