Now and then we like to mix things up a bit and showcase a special print or binding technique, working with local craftspeople to create something a little bit different. These are great for extra special projects, and they make excellent gifts too.
If you are as fussy about notebooks as we are, then you will be looking for certain details to be just right. You will rightly be asking, is this worth the investment? So, after many years refining our 'perfect notebook for everyday,' what is it that makes our version so special?
We use only premium quality, 120gsm paper with excellent opacity a super smooth surface that is a joy to write on, whether writing with fountain pen or sketching with pencil.
We partner with one of the world's most specialist book-binderies to create thread-sewn notebooks using cold glue and air drying, which is time consuming but worth it! This makes for a beautifully floppy, but very strong binding.
We proudly share every last detail of our materials and making process. We personally visit our paper mills and work closely with the craftspeople who help make our products so beautifully — in the UK and Belgium.
