And whatever ideals you’ve set for 2024, be sure to write them down in a quality notebook, not on a piece of paper that will end up in the trash anyway. So take a look at the 5 notebooks we’ve selected. Every notebook in the list comes with ink-friendly paper, so get your fountain pens ready…
Pineider Milano Leather Notebook Large
Available in 11 cool colors and covered in a soft Saffiano leather, the Pineider Milano notebook is our first recommendation for its elegant design and quality paper. Big enough to fill it with ideas but at the same time extremely versatile and easy to carry everywhere.

Montblanc Notebook #149
Montblanc notebooks are already classics. Made in Italy, they are available in a variety of colours and are also made of Saffiano leather. The 272 watermarked pages and large size make this notebook a trustworthy companion, especially when journaling. What I like most about this notebook is the generous line spacing which allows you to go for a broader writing style.

Smythson Portobello Notebook in Ludlow
Although their stationery is more expensive, Smythson shows they don’t compromise when it comes to quality. Besides the construction, the British brand’s notebooks come in an array of colors and leather textures, such as this Nutmeg Brown Portobello in grained calf leather. The notebook contains 192 pages of Smythson’s signature gilt-edged, pale blue featherweight paper, more than enough to plan the new year in style.
