Brass Page Markers
Catherine C (Wales, United Kingdom)
Neat and Discreet

I wanted something neater and less plastic than the sticky page markers we are all know. All the other metal options I saw were quite a lot more bulky. These fit the bill beautifully and arrived so beautifully packaged and live quietly on my various pages gently guiding me to the correct page

A6 Wave Marbled Notebook | Marmor for Mark+Fold
Martin Saunders (England, United Kingdom)
A Little Gem

I absolutely love this little notebook, although it is slightly bigger than I thought it would be. That's just down to my lack of knowledge of paper sizes though.
The whole experience of receiving the package, opening and unwrapping it was fabulous. The postcard with a thank you message and the embossed tissue paper just lift the experience to a higher plane.
The cover design is outstanding and the texture of the book in my fingers is fabulous. I am holding off on using it until my holiday in July, so I'll have to report back on my return. I can't wait to start putting marks on those pages!

Special Edition Notebook | DOT
Jane Brocksom (England, United Kingdom)
Exceptional

The quality and feel of the 2 notebooks I’ve received are sublime. The paper is so smooth and ideal when using a fountain pen. The workmanship is beautiful. I look forward to ordering more. They are perfect just what I wanted.

A5 Exercise Book | Sequoia
E Roberts (England, United Kingdom)
The perfect gift

Being already a fan of the diaries and journals, I gave this as a present to a writer friend, a pairing of the A5 and A6 exercise books. They write with a fountain pen and were delighted with the quality of the paper, binding, and the way the books open.

2026 Classic Diary Pre-order
Dr Paul Fitzpatrick (England, United Kingdom)
Neat, functional and beautiful

Three things I need in a diary to sit alongside my notebook in my Lochby cover. (a) simplicity, no over-drawn images and complications, just functional & beautiful design. (b) It has to be as 'green' as possible. (c) opens flat and is absolutely compatible with multiple fountain pen inks. This works on all counts.

Lovely paper

Paper was lovely and thick and nice to write on but I didn’t like the layout.

Classic Notebook | Sequoia Lined
Kurt Kessler (Kentucky, United States)
Excellent notebooks

I recently purchased a couple of the Mark+Fold notebooks (Sequoia and Lichen, lined), and they are truly premium notebooks. The ivory paper is thick with a touch of tooth, and my fountain pens don’t feather or bleed through. The binding is superb, and the notebooks lie flat. I highly recommend these notebooks.

Classic Notebook | Sequoia Lined
Dr Paul Fitzpatrick (England, United Kingdom)
Worth trying.

I am an avid fountain pen user and carry notebooks for work. There are a lot of good notebooks on the market many of which work inconsistently with different inks/nibs. What I like about this one is that quality of the paper is such, that it works across my pens with consistent results. It also fits my Lochby notebook cover perfectly. This is an expensive product but some things are worth the expense.

Stationery Subscription

As a stationery lover, I’ve treated myself to a year’s subscription and it has been wonderful to receive a surprise parcel every quarter and to experience different Mark and Fold products. My latest parcel included the lovely classic notebook, which is a joy to use.

Brass Page Markers
Rupa (England, United Kingdom)
Pretty little things

Very useful and look pretty on the pages of my diary.

S
Brass Page Markers
SM (England, United Kingdom)
Elegant and practical

I bought these page markers for my Hobonichi planner so that I can mark the current date, the new month page, and clip some spare grid paper to the journal because I find that it just doesn't have enough spare grid paper for me to write things that aren't well suited to the day planner pages.

The Hobonichi planner pages are extremely thing but the brass page markers do not cause the marked pages (including the ones used to clip extra grid paper) to flare out or cause the binding to noticeably bend/curve. The brass page markers are very thin and well suited to my use case for this reason. They are also very light, which I prefer (in case anyone wants it to serve as a paperweight, I do not think it would serve this purpose).

The brass colour is simple yet elegant. The design is minimalist (which I like a lot), so I don't doubt that they will be a timeless possession.

I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a page marker.

2025 Special Edition Diary | Community Clothing
Trudy Brothwell (England, United Kingdom)
I love my mark and fold products

I’ve used the beautiful diaries since they were produced . I love the feel of the paper , so that even my ugly scrawl feels ‘ worth while’ . I have the notebooks and the grid pads which I use when I’m preparing a weave design , again, even the rubbishy first ideas look good and give me a boost. I enjoy flicking through them to see how my thoughts evolve , and the nice paper means I do keep these first ideas rather than discarding them as I move on.
Just a lovely company .
The collaboration with Community Clothing is actually , quite important as an idea seen through to delivery .

Absolutely perfect

I’m so grateful I came across Mark+Fold. Bought this notebook and the monthly planner as my diary/journal for 2025. Exquisite quality, a joy to use. Might actually be the perfect notebook (and I’ve tried loads).
