FAQs

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

The notebook is approximately A5 size, measuring around 176x250mm.

Can I choose the colour of the notebook?

No, the notebook is supplied in one of four assorted colours at random. You cannot choose a specific colour when purchasing.

Is the paper suitable for fountain pens?

The 80gsm paper is designed for a smooth writing experience with minimal bleed-through for most pens. However, performance with fountain pens can vary. It is recommended to test a small area first.

How do I clean the PU leather cover?

You can clean the cover by gently wiping it with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.

Does the notebook lay flat easily?

Yes, it features a 180° lay-flat binding specifically designed to make writing and note-taking more comfortable.

What is the purpose of the elastic closure?

The elastic closure keeps the notebook securely shut, protecting the pages and any loose items inside.

What material is the cover made of?

The cover is made from high-grade PU leather.

Troubleshooting

Pen ink bleeds through the paper

While the paper is designed to minimize bleed-through, some very wet inks or markers might show on the reverse. Try using a different type of pen or writing more lightly. If the issue persists, consider using the back of the page for lighter notes or sketches.

Elastic closure feels loose

Gently stretch the elastic closure to its maximum comfortable point for a few minutes. If it remains loose, it may be due to normal wear and tear. Avoid overstretching it when closing the notebook.

Cover shows minor scuffs

For minor scuffs on the PU leather, try gently buffing the area with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, use a very slightly damp cloth, ensuring it dries completely afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
