FAQs

What does 'B6' size mean for this notebook?

B6 is a paper size standard, approximately 128mm x 182mm (about 5 x 7.2 inches). It's a convenient size that is larger than A6 but smaller than B5, making it easy to carry while offering substantial writing space.

Is the fabric cover waterproof?

No, the fabric cover is not waterproof. It is designed for aesthetic appeal and should be protected from excessive moisture.

What type of paper is used in the notebook?

The product description does not specify the exact paper type, but it is suitable for general writing and sketching with most common pens and pencils. For best results with wet inks, testing is recommended.

Does the V&A branding affect the notebook's design?

The V&A branding is typically subtle, often a small logo or mark, intended to signify quality and heritage without detracting from the main design of the flying cranes.

Can I replace the pages once they are full?

This is a bound notebook, meaning the pages are not designed to be replaced. It is intended to be filled and kept as a complete journal or record.

How durable is the fabric cover for daily use?

The fabric cover is designed for regular use, but like most fabric items, it can show signs of wear over time, especially on corners and edges. Careful handling will extend its pristine appearance.

Troubleshooting

Ink bleed-through on pages

Use pens with lighter ink flow or consider using a blotter sheet. Pencils and fine-tip pens generally perform best.

Fabric cover feels rough or dirty

Gently wipe the cover with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely.

Pages are dog-eared or bent

Ensure the notebook is stored flat or in a protective sleeve when not in use. Avoid overstuffing bags where it might be crushed.
