The Classic range of notebooks has a horizontal elastic closure which sets them apart from the pack, and that every one of their notebooks is handmade in Florence, Italy? Chef’s kiss, perfection. The Ciak Mate is a slimmer, no-frills version of their notebooks created with the same enviro-friendly vision.

The Paper
- 128 pages of 85gsm ivory paper.
- Acid-free, chlorine-free.
- 5mm dot grid in black ink. 40 cells vertically, 27 cells horizontally.
- Feels rough to the touch, a toothy writing experience.
- VERY thirsty– sucks up ink.
- Moderate ghosting, surprisingly little ink feathering with medium nibs
- The page here has been imaged on a flatbed scanner, which exaggerates the amount of show-through.
