Edition #38 Notes
I first met Layne Ewing when she created a design for the Goodtype Tuesday challenge, where she was [not surprisingly] one of the top three winners. Following Layne's work has been a delight, and I am so excited we got to collaborate on the final piece of her Greta Van Fleet collection: illustrations inspired by the music of that band.
For this edition, Layne painted a variety of patterns onto the cover fabric using gold ink and a dry brush. I then screenprinted the design in black ink, and we picked an endsheet pattern with galaxies and the night sky, also screenprinted in gold. Apropos since the name of Layne's art for this edition is "Dreams in Gold".
We hope this notebook inspires you to dream big. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Fray level: Normal
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 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.
