This is the “deluxe journal” from Roger La Borde and is part of the First Press brand. This notebook I got in the sale was one of 2 similar floral designs. The second in a green colour is still advertised on their website.

It is printed and bound in china on paper from managed forests using vegetable based inks and bagged in biodegradable cello.

The pages are all brightly coloured, with vibrant and bold patterns following throughout. See some examples below:

Can’t get more pretty than this.

The paper is thick.  Easy to write on and compact. I use this as my dumping journal, so it travels around in my bag and I write draft blog posts, to-do lists and all thoughts that pop into my head while commuting. Usually I use an exercise book for such things, but this is a welcome change.
