A Little Monsters edition
The fuzziest Dapper Notes returns!
I'm so happy to bring back a new Little Monsters edition. These notebooks are the fuzziest Dapper Notes with faux fur covers and are so cute and insanely soft and one of my favorite things. No animals were harmed in the making of this incredibly plush notebook, but beware: it may shed a wee bit.
They're also really hard to make. Production takes longer, and the fuzz makes an enormous mess in my studio. But that's kind of the point as they've historically arrived as a Black Friday release that counters the sales and discounts, and instead introduces something pricier than my usual notebooks: something that took more effort, something that is special and supports the arts.
Your Monster Ricky will arrive in a white and green box, screen printed with peach colored ink to match the bely band. Also included: a Dapper Notes unbreakable comb, so you can doll up your Little Monster.
Monster Ricky is named for my family's pet lovebird. It is a special release notebook and is not part of the Bookhead Club.
Strictly one per person.
Fray level: Very 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

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.
