A5 Notebook with Lay-Flat Design
This A5 notebook is designed for both beauty and practicality, featuring a lay-flat design that allows for effortless use. Each notebook is hand-sewn using marine blue French linen thread, carefully chosen to match the vibrant blue cover. With 92 pages, it opens completely flat, ensuring a smooth writing or drawing experience.
A Cohesive and Thoughtful Design
The dot grid and endpapers are printed in the same deep blue, creating a seamless, monochromatic look throughout. To complete the design, this edition comes with a matching sardine charm, adding a playful and unique touch. Each cover is screen printed by hand using a design made from hand-carved linoleum stamps.
Inspired by the Flavors of Málaga
This edition is named after 'espeto,' a traditional dish from my hometown of Málaga in southern Spain. These skewered sardines are grilled over olive tree flames, infusing the air with the unmistakable scent of happiness. Like the dish, this notebook is a celebration of tradition and joy, brought to life through thoughtful craftsmanship.

They are just a tiny bit smaller than A5. This is because I trim it once it's bind to get nice edges

96 pages counting the end sheets. In total, it's 90 pages with dot grid
Munken pure is an off-white premium paper made in Munkedal, here in Sweden. Just 200km away from my workshop. It's perfect for fountain pens. It doesn't ghost and it takes a lot of ink to make it bleed.
The paper used for the covers is called Scandia 2000. It's a premium paper made in Lessebo, also here in Sweden.
The dot grid has a 5mm spacing and the dots are printed in a matching color with the cover and thread used for the binding.
Binding details
Binding details
The notebook is sewn by hand in 6 signatures of 4 sheets each, using matching thread color. Each signature is 16 pages.
The notebook is then pressed and the spine is glued using archival PVA glue. This adds extra strength to the notebook and keeps it slim.
Handmade notes
Handmade notes
These notebooks are handmade one by one. This means that although I aspire to make them as perfect as possible, minor imperfections are bound to happen.
Most people find these charming and it's a sign of a product that is not factory made.
However, if you are not happy with any of my notebooks and think it's not in an acceptable shape, please reach out and I'll be more than happy to send you a replacement or sort it out in any other way.
