Perfectly imperfect: our imperfect notebooks have minor cover imperfections (unless otherwise stated) while staying completely in-tact on the inside.

Timeless elegance meets sustainable design in our handcrafted square grid notebooks.

Monarque features an exquisite monarch butterfly motif, inspired by 19th-century textile artists and conceptualized by our designers. Let your creativity flow in the 160 pages of beautifully thick, bright 150gsm paper. Sized at A5 (comparable to a Moleskine Notebook or Bullet Journal), B5, and TN — the notebook seamlessly integrates portability, functionality, and classic aesthetic.

Handcrafted in Canada and created from premium, sustainable materials. Each notebook is a bespoke, limited edition piece, elevating your everyday essentials into objects of meaningful beauty.

Ink sustainability:
• Algae ink - The black ink in our 2025 Planners is colored with Algae Black™ pigment, which reduces carbon emissions by 200% compared to conventional inks made with carbon black.
• Algae Black pigment is made from 100% renewable algae waste feedstock.
• Recycled ink chemistry - ink chemistry during the printing process is recycled.
• We still needed to mix in some conventional black ink to get it dark enough, but we are committed to continuing with testing as we'd love to make the full transition to this sustainable alternative.

Paper sustainabilty:
• Certifications - Our paper is Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified by Preferred by Nature, SFI® Certified Sourcing, acid-free for archival quality, and made in both the USA and Canada.
• Mills - Paper mills are largely fuelled by renewable energy (70%) and recycle the materials used during the manufacturing of the paper.
• Paper process - During paper manufacturing, water is reused 10 times to reduce water usage, while treating and returning 90% of the water used to watersheds.

Ribbons:
• Ribbon duos are 100% recycled plastic waste or Tencel (Toile de Lin)

Covers:
• Cover materials - Our current covers are made from Lenzing™ Ecovero™, cotton and linen, or a mix of Rayon and Lenzing™ Ecovero™.
• Coated cover materials - All coated cover materials are Lenzing™ Ecovero™ with an aqueous coating. Aqueous coatings have low VOC emissions, biodegradable, non-toxic, energy efficient, and recyclable.
• Opting for these materials rather than traditional polyurethane covers saves 1,281 pounds of plastic material (vegan leather) each year.
• Gold foil - Gold foiling decoration is emissions-free aluminum and lacquer.

• Cover materials
