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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
Always look forward to a new Mark +Fold diary,love the superb paper. The big 25 on the front cover is striking.Love to see a cover made out of actual denim,that would be cool. Thoroughly recommended.
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).
Not sure how its going to look by Dec - however I will endeavour to keep it free from cups rings, spill, and leaking pens... Lovely layout, paper feel and presentation, please consider a A4ish size for 2026
This is my third year using this calendar and it is just perfect for what I need. I love having a physical calendar and the monthly overview is just perfect. I don’t have enough stuff to need a page for everyday or even a page for the week. I love being able to see my month at a view to understand how busy I’ll be and what’s coming up. The product is great quality and it lasts so well being thrown in bags, taken everywhere with me. It also feels so lovely to write on with both fountain pen and ballpoint.
Я так и не получил свою посылку ::(((
I decided to purchase a seconds over a new to help reduce the waste and because, for half the price, I could cope with a few ‘imperfections’. There are no imperfections, or not to my eye.
That aside, this is my first Mark+Fold purchase and I love it. I love the design, paper, weight.
As a company, I love the sustainability ethos and that it’s a business that supports British manufacturing and skills.
I bought this as a gift for a very minimal, hates clutter, highly organised person, as the sleek minimal style and gorgeous quality of the paper used will be noticed and appreciated. Perfect professional style for the office and meetings. Beautifully wrapped and presented.
Gorgeous quality - I honestly struggle to see how or why this item is a second, beautiful wrapping with a personal touch,
I use notebooks and these are a treat... a step up from moleskin, well-made and elegant... I actually don't like the little dots rather than lines... but these ones were on sale so what can one do? I love their apple green notebook and the diary I have and the week planner and the eraser gosh I shall stop going on.
Love it! An annual favourite purchase! :)
Thank you for making beautiful diaries!!
I love the 2025 special edition diary! The denim paper feels amazing and of course the reuse factor is awesome. The thought and care Mark+Fold put into their products is so appreciated, and I know this is the diary for me for life. Highly recommend.
Every year I look forward to receiving my new M + F planner. This year I decided to upgrade to the linen cover and set aside my leather cover.
I am very happy with choice so far.
These brass page markers are a perfect blend of elegance and practicality. They’re beautifully crafted, with a subtle sophistication that instantly adds a touch of class to my otherwise scruffy notebooks.
Beyond their aesthetics, they’re incredibly practical - lightweight yet sturdy, and they hold to pages securely without causing damage. Whether marking an important section or just keeping my place, they make every notebook feel a bit more refined.
A small but impactful addition to my stationery collection, these page markers are both functional and stylish. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates the finer details!
I only wish I had discovered Mark + Fold sooner! This notebook is an absolute delight to use. The beautiful paper is of exceptional quality, making writing a smooth and enjoyable experience. Whether using pen or pencil, the pages hold up wonderfully without any bleed-through.
The lay-flat design is another standout feature - it makes every page accessible and ensures ease of use whether you're jotting down quick notes or writing for extended periods.
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!
I’m thoroughly impressed with this monthly planner! Its simplicity of design is its standout feature - clean, uncluttered pages make it easy to focus on what matters most without distractions. The zoomed-out view of the entire month is a game-changer, allowing me to quickly grasp my schedule at a glance. Whether it's appointments, deadlines, or personal goals, everything is clearly laid out.
Another major plus is its perfect size - it fits comfortably on my desk without taking up too much space, yet remains large enough to write in comfortably. It’s also small and slim enough to carry around, making it the ideal companion to my notebook when I’m on the go.
This planner strikes the perfect balance between functionality and portability, making it a must-have for anyone looking to stay organised with ease. Highly recommend!
I still love getting Christmas cards and in the ethos of being bombarded with emails, I am delighted to be sending my friends and loved ones, something truly beautiful for Christmas!
Thank you Amy!
Beautiful quality, makes me happy to use the diary. Love the fact the leather cover can also hold a notebook. Would love something to hold it all together with the same aesthetic.
I like using A6 notebooks for birdwatching as it's a good size and fits in camera bag etc. these are lovely and despite having a "soft" cover, I find I can still write on the go which is good (instead of needing a table or something)
As usual I love everything about this diary. If I could change one thing it would be to have a few more blank pages at the end.
