Great paper
It all starts with selecting the finest materials. We consider only sustainably-produced papers and consider everything from the feel of the paper in your hands, to its opacity, smoothness and resistance to feathering with fountain pen.
2025 Diary Special Edition | Linen
Limited edition week-view diary, hand-made in London
£75.00
Limited edition batch of hand-made diaries, combining our popular week-view layout with the kind of artisanal skill you simply don't find anywhere else.
We work with Wyvern Bindery in Hackney London, who specialise in fine bindings, antique repairs and even made specialist props for the Harry Potter films! They are among the few small hand binderies still operating in the UK, keeping book-binding skills alive. Once a year we commission them to take a small batch of our printed diary pages, and transform them into unique hand-crafted books.
Developed in conversation with our customers and following decades of observations about what works well (and what doesn't), we created our unique diary layout in 2016.
The simple grid is designed to give you maximum writing space and just enough structure to organise your plans, but without getting in your way. We like to give you the freedom to create your own system, so the light-touch layout feels almost like an invisible frame to hold your notes and plans. Creating an instinctive picture-of-the-week to jog your memory and help you scope out your commitments. Designed in 2016 by Swiss-German typographic designer Catherine Nippe in collaboration with Mark+Fold founder Amy Cooper-Wright.

Why you'll love it
Layflat binding
A good notebook should open flat without force, for a comfortable writing experience. Our specialist layflat binding combines thread-sewing with cold glue, to retain flexibility. The results speak for themselves — a book that is as robust as it is elegant.
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.
Responsibly made
Plastic-free since 2015
Our paper-based packaging is designed to be re-used, and then recycled. Our glassine envelopes and hand-wrapped bible paper replace single-use plastics.
Transparent manufacture
We proudly share every step of our production process. We work exclusively with specialist printers and book-binders in UK and Europe who share our perfectionism and attention to detail.
Minimising waste
Initiatives like Pre-orders and Seconds Sales help to avoid over-production or waste. Our like-minded bindery recycles even the paper dust created during production.
