BESTSELLING
Klasyk Notebook
Klasyk has been with us almost from the start, and for many, it marks the beginning of their journey with our brand. In 2027, it turns ten! Over the years, we've refined every little detail without changing what made you fall in love with it in the first place: minimalist design, exceptional paper and handmade binding.

YOU'LL LOVE IT, IF
YOU LIKE TO TAKE NOTES YOUR WAY
The subtle dot-grid pages are perfect for writing, sketching and creating diagrams. They help keep things aligned and organised without limiting your freedom.
YOU VALUE WRITING COMFORT
The smooth 100 gsm paper is fountain pen friendly, while the specially designed binding allows the notebook to open completely flat. This makes every part of the page equally comfortable to use.
YOU APPRECIATE THE DETAILS
Sturdy covers, premium solid-coloured papers and a book cloth spine give Klasyk its signature binding. Each piece is finished by hand, with close attention to how the materials come together and every little detail.
What's inside?
160 dot-grid pages
SIMPLE, VERSATILE LAYOUT
The 5 mm dot grid helps keep spacing even, create your own layouts and organise notes. The dots are subtle enough to stay in the background, yet provide a useful guide for writing and sketching.
Exceptional paper
100 gsm, with an exceptionally smooth surface and a warm white shade.
Thoughtful minimalism
Clean layouts, subtle printing and no unnecessary embellishments.
Opens completely flat
Pages stay open without having to hold them down.
Working on paper is a moment of truth. Space on a page is limited, just like the number of days in a week. As you fill in your calendar, you'll quickly see when you're running out of room and start approaching your plans more realistically.

How Klasyk is made
IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOUR
Every year, we kick off our seasonal collection by spreading out stacks of swatches and debating which shades of paper and book cloth will look best together. It's a delightful but tricky task – we can spend weeks discussing the differences between two almost identical shades of beige!
CLEVER CONSTRUCTION
Klasyk covers are made from cardboard wrapped in beautiful, solid-coloured papers. It's our own take on a binding that's both lightweight and sturdy, while letting you feel the texture of exceptional papers beneath your fingertips. Most importantly, we join the covers with a strip of book cloth, keeping the spine flexible so the planner can open completely flat.
BOUND BY HAND
Our workshop is a small-scale manufactory: we cut book cloth, prepare ribbons and gather all the components. Before the covers take shape under our hands, we inspect each one (very) closely. We sift through tall stacks of hundreds of cardboard pieces to spot and eliminate even the tiniest scratch! Once ready, we attach the covers to both sides of the paper block, add a ribbon bookmark and finish the spine with book cloth. The entire binding process is done by hand, with the final trimming left to our trusty, well-worn guillotine cutter, affectionately known as Monika.

KLASYK COLLECTION
THE PLEASURE OF WRITING
A word about paper
For our Klasyk collection, we use wood-free, uncoated 100 gsm paper with FSC certification. Its exceptionally smooth surface lets your pen glide effortlessly, while the subtle warm white shade is easy on the eyes, even during long writing sessions. The carefully chosen paper weight helps minimise ink show-through while keeping the pages lightweight.
