Introducing the Pocket Tomoe River Notebook by Pebble Stationery Co.

 

 

 

This notebook was developed from a love of writing, creating, organising and learning and a love of pocket notebooks. After years of using pocket notebooks, we couldn’t find one that we really loved, so we decided to design and develop our own.

 

Being users of pocket notebooks, we found that typically pocket notebooks had too few pages – we were constantly migrating tasks and lists and didn’t have the right notes with us because they were in the previous notebook. The paper quality usually couldn’t handle fountain pens, and we snagged clothing and fingers and scratched our pens on the staples.

 

With this in mind, our notebooks have been designed with portability and function in mind. We’ve chosen to use 52 gsm Tomoe River Paper, well known in the fountain pen community for its performance, which is thin enough to allow us to add more pages per notebook whilst keeping it light and portable. Tomoe River paper is well known for its qualities and fountain pen friendliness. Not only does it behave with fountain pens, its thin enough to cram more pages in, so that 80 pages only measures in a <3mm thick, making it thin enough to keep in your pocket.

 

 

 

Our notebooks have been designed using 350gsm covers, ensuring that they are sturdy enough for your Everyday Carry but flexible enough to fit in your back pocket. We’ve made sure that our notebooks are minimalist and classic in style – we want them to fit in no matter where you are – whether out on adventure or in the boardroom.

 

 

The Pocket Tomoe River Notebook by Pebble Stationery Co. will be available soon through Kickstarter. Visit our website at www.pebblestationeryco.comto be notified when the campaign goes live, or follow us on Instagram @Pebblestationeryco to join our journey.

Hi All,

 

Its been a little over a month since my last post and I thought I would update you on our Kickstarter product launch and post some photos of our latest, pre-production samples.

 

Firstly, we are now just under 2 weeks to go for our Kickstarter campaign launch scheduled for the 5^thof November. All of our reward numbers are capped, so get your pledges in early, if you don’t wan to miss out.

 

Based on some advice from our manufacturer and subsequent user tests, we’ve changed the dot grid from 5mm to 4mm, which will provide more space to write in for a notebook of this size. This is about the same size grid as Hobonichi planners, which is around 3.9mm.

 

Here are some photos from our pre-production samples – these are about 95% identical to the final product and have been through the exact sample production process as the final version.

Market Place??

Nice to see this launched on Kickstarter but a little disappointed you can only pre-buy packs that include their pencils. They look nice enough but I have zero interest in pencils. Rules me out of kickstarter.

Pencil-less Tomoe pocket (and other) notebooks can be had here. I have a 120 page A6

The ones in the OP look great, but I also agree re: the pencils. Also, I far prefer lined grid (graph/squared/hobonichi style grid, whatever you want to call it) rather than a dotted grid.

 

BTW, I've also bought notebooks from the link provided by Karmachanic (referring to GoodINKPressions on Etsy), and I can confirm they are excellent. Maybe a little pricey, but very well done.
