Edition Notes
This sketchbook is a companion to the Playground edition. It has the same corduroy cover with a screen printed design by Hugo Moura, but inside everything is different.
Echoing Hugo's ink on paper work, this large size notebook is the first ever to be using 48 pages of 100lb paper inside instead of the usual 70lb paper you know and love. It's more sketchbook than notebook, and a very apropos but also very fun experiment to make. A playground for creation indeed.
The colors are also different with a red bookcloth to back the corduroy cover, red ink printed on white handmade paper endsheets, and a flame red thread.
Fray level: High
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

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

Highest quality construction and materials, keen eye for detail, and delicious design, month after month.

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.
