We create some of the best notebooks and diaries in the world, thanks to the quality of our materials, skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. We are obsessive about getting the details just right, so our seemingly simple products each channel decades of thought, both as stationery fans and book designers, to create a range of functional paper-goods that are simply a joy to use.
We proudly share every last detail of how every item is made. From our sustainable paper mill in Cumbria, to printers in Aberdeen, hand-binding in Hackney London, and our specialist world-class bindery in Belgium who create our thread-sewn, cold glue binding for the perfect strong yet 'floppy' notebook.
Since day one we have used 100% paper-based packaging and we avoid using stickers or tape so that all packaging can be kept and used again. We also minimise waste through initiatives like pre-orders and seconds sale, and will only work with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to sustainability.
"I’m so grateful I came across Mark+Fold. Bought this Notebook and the Monthly Planner for 2025. Exquisite quality, a joy to use. Might actually be the perfect notebook (and I’ve tried loads).”
"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!”
“Thanks heavens for Mark+Fold. The quality is second to none.”
Building on a lifelong obsession with stationery and over 15 years experience in branding and book design, Amy Cooper-Wright set up Mark+Fold in 2015, but the idea had been percolating for many years before that. There are many threads that weave together to form the inspiration for Mark+Fold: growing up in a family of Scottish architects, studying at Oxford University, working in design teams at Pentagram and designing coffee table books for art galleries.
Every order is hand-wrapped by our team of paper lovers, with a note signed by the person who wrapped your order and the option to include a hand-written gift note. As a small team, we get to know our customers and many of them have become friends through our shared passion for colour-coding our pencils!
