Why you'll love it
Layflat binding
A good notebook should open flat without force, for a comfortable writing experience. Our specialist layflat binding combines thread-sewing with cold glue, to retain flexibility. The results speak for themselves — a book that is as robust as it is elegant.
Minimal design
Our considered edit of timeless classics are designed to feel intuitive and unobtrusive. We want the design to feel almost invisible, whilst giving you the structure and prompts you need to get things done.

This notebook feels like a premium product in every way, and it has completely elevated my writing experience. Highly recommend to anyone who values thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship!
