We're delighted to introduce our CARTA soft-cover notebooks! This is the larger notebook, a pleasingly useful digest size, available in five different cover variations. Our founder Erika Stefanutti is rarely without a notebook at hand, and she has attended to every aspect of these new designs with kindred spirits in mind.
 
With their flexible, matte covers and elegantly rounded corners, our notebooks are made to be light enough to toss into your bag, yet substantial and beautiful enough to sit on a well-dressed desk. They're filled with with fine writing paper pages in a heavy 116 gsm weight, with a lovely texture for working in either ink or pencil.  
 
For many years, Erika has made a habit of marking her own notebooks with the Latin phrase, vade mecum, or, go with me. On the inside front covers of our notebooks, you'll find this phrase, along with a space to write your name and the date. You'll also notice an image of a single antique Paoletti intaglio: this is is Ariadne, the Cretan princess who helped Theseus escape from the Minotaur's labrynth. We thought she'd be an excellent friend to have along should you encounter a puzzle on your own writing or drawing journey.
 
CARTA notebooks are sold individually, and are packaged in a simple, removable paper band. Matching pocket-sized notebooks are also available.
