Confident, low-show-through writing – with Clairefontaine 90 g/m² paper

Clairefontaine 90 g/m² vellum paper features a dense fibre structure and a velvety finish that boosts opacity and reduces ink penetration. The surface is engineered for smooth ink flow and consistent line reproduction.

Write on both sides without visible transparency, producing cleaner notes and fewer wasted pages. Smooth paper also helps handwriting look neater and dries quickly under normal pens.

Keep notes secure and accessible – with elastic closure, ribbon and gusseted pocket

An elastic strap fastens the flexible faux-leather cover, while an orange ribbon marks the current page; a gusseted pocket sits inside the spine for receipts and loose sheets. The Rhodiarama soft cover is designed to expand slightly without bulging.

Loose papers and receipts stay safe while the bookmark speeds up daily access. The secure closure keeps notebooks tidy in a bag or briefcase.

Durable, enduring construction – with handmade, hand-stitched binding

Traditional workshop assembly and hand-stitched binding create a robust spine that tolerates frequent opening and closing. The binding method encourages the notebook to lie flatter over time.

Expect a notebook that withstands daily handling and keeps pages intact for months of use. Strong stitching means fewer loose pages and a more reliable writing surface.
