The Takeo Dressco Stitched Notebook is the small notebook you actually keep in a pocket. Its cover is a fine grade of paper with a soft, almost leather-like touch, wrapped around a slim block of stationery paper and finished with a single row of visible stitching down the spine. It looks unassuming and feels considered the sort of thing you’re glad to pull out mid-conversation.

Two textures run through the range: a laid Spica bond and a smooth bank paper, each cover colour named for a leather it echoes. At 85 by 145 millimetres it sits happily in a jacket or the back of a diary, opening flat so a quick note never fights the binding.

Why You’ll Love It

• It’s built to be carried: You keep it on you and the leather-like cover shrugs off pocket wear, so it still looks good weeks in.
• It opens flat: You write a line without holding the pages down, using the whole spread even on a small page.
• A small pleasure to own: You reach for it because the cover feels good in the hand, and the stitched spine quietly says it was made with care.
