Why you'll love our Notebooks

Fountain-pen-friendly paper

In carefully selecting our papers, we consider everything from the feel of the paper in your hands, to its opacity, smoothness and resistance to feathering with fountain pen.

> Our paper

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.

Layflat binding

We use a specialist binding technique, combining thread-sewing and cold glue. This ensures that our notebooks and diaries flop open perfectly flat, so you can find your flow without distractions.

Classic Notebook

I bought the classic notebook in rust and just wanted to say that the whole experience was lovely, easy to order, quick delivery, beautifully wrapped and exceptional quality... fountain pen friendly too. This was my first Mark + Fold - it won't be my last!

Delicious paper, the pen glides - am addicted!

The best A5 notebook I have ever had. I am ‘dotted’ all the way and would never be without one in reserve. I use a pilot retractable fountain pen, Irishizuku ink and am a leftie, this is not an easy combo to find a notebook to work with. No feathering, no smudging, no bleeding, no ghosting and definitely no fists covered in ink. I use them with their leather journal, which is sublime and the most exquisite leather.

So good it makes meant to write in it

This is my second Mark+Fold and I’m about to order another (possibly another 3) as using this notebook is such a pleasure.
Until recently I was very digital for everything but have now moved back to paper and I find this so much better as what I write, whether that is sewing notes, a poem, my journal or just something in an “everything” book. Ok I could use a much less expensive notebook but there’s something more compelling about writing in something that makes the experience more enjoyable.

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.

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.

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.

A Notebook That Redefines Writing Pleasure

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!

Absolutely lovely notebooks

I’ve been a customer since 2020 and M+F never ceases to wow me. It’s the Apple of stationery brands—unpacking an order is legit a transcendental experience. Beautiful notebooks with superb attention to detail. Lovely packaging, high quality materials, exceedingly smooth paper. Virtually no bleed-through even after I used heavy oil-based ink. Absolutely worthwhile buy

Excellent products

This order was for my second batch of three notebooks, and a diary, moving up from just using the 12 month planner last year. I do enjoy writing at these note books are simply a joy to write in, and the format of the planner and diary are both very flexible - you can simply change the format of how you use the diary from increments as little as daily. All in all an excellent find and products that I will certainly be sticking with. Thank you.
