I prefer black but they come in other colours and are also available in B6 (7 x 5 inches), B5 (10 x 7 inches) and A6 (5.8 x 4.1 inches). The Open-Flat Lined Notebook in the A5 size (about 8.2 x 5.6 inches). The Muji notebook I keep re-purchasing is: Some are lined, some are blank and they also have grid options. Lined or un-lined: Muji notebooks come in different styles. Every bit of extra weight counts and these are almost as light as air. They don’t really have a lot of big ones, but the smaller ones are perfect for tucking into a purse or hand luggage. Range of sizes: As with the Moleskines, Muji notebooks come in many different sizes. It’s partly because they’re thin, but it’s really pleasant to write in them because I’m never fighting with the spine to stay open. I’ve never had a problem with gel pens bleeding through and the paper is also really smooth and pleasant to write on.įlat-laying: Muji notebooks lie really flat. Even the most expensive notebook when I checked was less than $10 (CDN).Įxcellent paper quality: The paper Muji uses in its notebooks is high quality. True, they are small and slim, but you can buy packs. Here’s what I love about Muji notebooks:Įxcellent value for money: Notebooks start at $2.00 (CDN). Now they have stores globally but haven’t lost the commitment to minimalism and high quality products, especially given the price point. ![]() I would go there during summer breaks and stock up on stationery (again, please see the note above about back to school shopping). ![]() I’ve been buying their notebooks and pens since before they expanded worldwide and were just one store in London, I think on Tottenham Court Road. However, you can find Moleskine notebooks for purchase at your local stationery or book store as well if you don’t want to buy directly from their website!) ![]() (Please note that I linked directly to the Moleskine website in my links above and that all links and pricing were accurate at the time of posting. I have also seen them on sale at many local book and office supply shops. On their website, they have a ‘Last Pieces’ section and you can usually find some good deals. Moleskines aren’t cheap but one way to save some money is to buy them on sale. The 3-pack Cahier style from the Journal Collection, size Large (8 x 5.25 inches). The Classic Collection Notebook in size Large (8 x 5.25 inches). There are 2 notebooks I keep re-purchasing from the Moleskine collection: My personal picks for Moleskine notebooks: I either get the pastel or the bright shades of Moleskine books (this is another reason why I love the 3-pack - you don’t have to stick with one colour for too long - although I’m not sure they do varying colours by pack anymore.) What I like about the 3-packs are they’re a bit lighter than the books from the Classic Collection.ĭifferent colours: Look, this may seem like a silly thing, but when you’re 5 years deep into re-writing the same novel (I speak from personal experience), the slightest bit of colour can do wonders for your mood. I have also bought the 3-pack of different coloured notebooks (known as the ‘Cahier’ style in the Journal range) and those also fit into my bag. I’ve bought the really small ones and tucked them into my purse. Range of sizes: I love that Moleskines come in so many different sizes. Moleskines aren’t perfect in this regard, but they are so much better than many others. I’ve been gifted some gorgeous notebooks over the years but I never end up using them because I have to keep one hand on the actual book, spreading it out so it doesn’t collapse inward. ![]() (Note: this feature isn’t available in the ‘Cahier’ books I listed below.įlat-laying: My biggest pet peeve with notebooks are ones that don’t lay flat on the table as you write. Ribbon marker: The Classic Collection Moleskine books come with a ribbon marker so you don’t lose your place. They also have ones with the small dots, so if bullet journalling is your thing, try them out. I’ve even seen ones where one page is lined and the facing page is blank. Lined or unlined: I’m partial to lined notebooks, but whatever your preference, there is likely a Moleskine available for you. It’s smooth, not flimsy, and it’s weighty enough that you can write on it with heavy ink without fear of it bleeding to the other side. Here’s exactly what I love about them:Įxcellent paper quality: The paper is good. It’s really hard to find the same level of quality, variety and consistency in other notebook brands. Moleskines are the stereotypical favourite of every writer, artist and tech entrepreneur out there, but there’s a good reason why.
