Edition #31 Notes
To celebrate five years of Dapper Notes, I revisited the most popular cover material of all time. My very first notebooks released in 2016 were made using a simple but beautiful cork cover. The new Hamsa edition also has a cork cover, but with a sparkly bronze foil imprint, a perfect homage to five years of creating stationery that leaves my heart sparkling.
The word hamsa means "five" in Arabic. In North African cultures it is also associated with good luck and protection. The hamsa (pictured) is a common motif in North African and Middle-Eastern art. I come from a Moroccan lineage, so the symbol is very meaningful to me, and I wanted to share the luck that I feel Dapper Notes has brought me with all of you.
I hope that Hamsa brings you as much joy and good luck as I have felt making Dapper Notes for you the past five years. Here's to many more.
Fray level: None
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers
Orders are shipped within two business days. If I'm away for any reason, you'll see an announcement on the top of the website noting as such.
Some items are made to order, which you'll see noted in the product description.
Once shipped, most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 1 and 12 weeks.

Dapper notes are the antidote to the digital age. Every item is handcrafted, hand-sewn, and designed for maximum delight.

Dapper Notes are the best quality pocket sized notebooks you can get. The textile cover and thread binding means the books will hold up through time. I love the thick paper as well; good for fountain pens.
