Bomomemo By Bomoart Budapest

Some days ago I could finally get myself to visit this beautiful shop in Budapest, Hungary.
I've been browsing their online store every week just to see their awesome products.

Their new website just launched this week! http://www.bomoart.com/

 

They offer paper, leather and half leather bound notebooks, diaries, sketchbooks among many other things like postcards, greeting cards, calendars, boxes, etc with vintage like designs. Various styles, inspired by the atmosphere of the 1910s, '20s, '30s and '40s, all with amazing detail!
Their designs are quite unique and original.
You can almost get everything with the same matching pattern. For example, there is their hot air balloon themed design. If you really like that, its available on almost every product they offer!
The spines of the leather products are beautiful! And the leathers feel really nice in hand. On top of that, you can choose the color of the leather you want.
If you order a half leather bound notebook/planner online, you can select the design you'd like, and the preferred leather color as well!

All in all, when I was browsing online, I was like "OMG!". When I went to the shop, "OMG! OMG! OMG!"
The B&M shop is really small, but its filled up completely with their products. Abundant supply.

 

So, what I've bought on my first little trip there, is a 3 pack of BomoMemo.
A/5 sized, paper covered, lined notebooks, with 96 pages each. (I gave one to my sister. It had beautiful flowers on it, but I thought it would be a wee bit feminine for a hairy guy...)
This is also available in A8 size, but with different cover designs in the pack.

Again. Amazing detail!!!
They are just pure joy to look at!
(The Christmas card is also from them)

And they don't only look good from the outside. The inside of the covers are also taken care of, and there is a red plastic-like dividing page both on the front and back. Its like those pages what are mostly found in photo albums, just thicker.

Luckily the paper itself is also nice!

It has a little texture, but nothing bad.
It takes ink quite well. It can bleed with wetter inks or nibs though, but most of the time there is just show though.
What also happens with wet inks is that the letters can get a little bit hairy. Most of the time you have to look really close to see it.

Stormy Grey is on the wet side.

The dots did bleed a little, but the tattoo like process doesn't make it easy for many papers. Most of those are also just show though.

No disappointment at all! It worthed every penny! (Forint...haha)

I hope I can get myself a full leather planner for 2015 form them.

I already knew about Bomoart and I absolutely love their papers!!! Some of my bindings have their paper on the covers. I have never been to their physical shop, but if I ever go to Budapest I will make sure to stop by!!!

You are welcome to visit my blog: http://gatzbcn.blogspot.com/ and that is my shop: https://www.gatzbcn.com/shop

Thank you for the report - I really love their work.

What a pity that I'm not living close enough to take a look by myself, it's just mail order...

Greetings,

Michael

I've ordered a couple of journals from them this year. I'm 100% happy with them. They were essentially made to order journals that perform well beyond their price. I recommend them highly.

I'm happy to hear that! :happy:

 

Today I went to the store again, and this little thing came home with me:

B7 size daily planner for next year. It was hard to decide from those many options.

The paper is actually quite awesome!

Very thin, but my very wet M1000 EF doesn't even feather! No bleed through either. I'm impressed!

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! :D

Thanks for the beautiful review! I'm glad this workshop is receiving some more attention as their products are definitely worth it. Also the Memo notebooks have my favorite motifs on the covers - lovely.

 

I ordered a few of their notebooks last year, also an address book and a daily diary which is so nice I'm going to use one of theirs in 2015 as well.

 

The only thing I've stopped using is their Kindle case which is amazingly beautiful - strangers have commented on it on the train! - but the paper is too tender to withstand being pulled out and stuffed back into my handbag several times a day. It would probably be great for people who mainly use their device at home. Or used an extra pouch for protection.

Maybe they're going to make a full leather case one day in which case I'd certainly be one of the first customers.

I'm happy that you like it!

You've made aware of them actually and I'm really thankful for that! :happy:

It took me a while to finally get to the shop, but there's no turning back!

BTW, your blog really deserves its name!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
