The Notebook Collection

Paper worth keeping a thought in

Every Twinfold notebook is chosen against one standard — rescued materials, makers we can name, and built to be written in for years then returned to the earth once it’s full.

Espresso Shot Notebooks
The short version

Rescued materials, makers we can name, and paper that takes ink and time equally well. We choose every notebook against one standard — then let the range speak for itself.

What makes a Twinfold notebook

We don’t stock notebooks. We choose them against one standard — where the paper comes from, who made it, and what happens to it after the last page.

Made close to home

Wherever we can, they’re milled, bound and finished by small UK and European workshops — a family bindery in Dorset, paper milled in Cumbria. Short supply chains and named regions, not anonymous factories.

Rescued materials

Pressed from waste that would otherwise be burned or buried — coffee cups, offcuts, spent grounds — given a second, more useful life.

Made to keep

Sewn bindings that lie flat and hold, covers that soften rather than fray. A notebook you’ll refill a shelf with, not bin in January.

Kind at the end

When it’s full, it composts or recycles cleanly. No plastic laminate, no mixed materials that can’t be parted.

The signature

Two rescued materials, one notebook

Every notebook in the range is built from two waste streams that meet at the fold — one inside, one out.

Inside

Recycled coffee-cup paper

The thin lining that makes a takeaway cup waterproof also makes it near-impossible to recycle the usual way. We rescue it, strip it back, and press it into a smooth, forgiving writing paper that takes ink without bleeding.

Outside

A second rescued stream

The cover is pressed from a different waste depending on the range — repurposed food packaging, textile offcuts or spent brewing grain — so no two collections carry quite the same grain or colour.

Choosing a size

Three formats, three kinds of thinking

Not sure where to start? Match the notebook to how you’ll actually use it.

A7 · Pocket

The Shot

Lists, overheard lines, the thing you’ll forget by lunch. Slips into a coat pocket and goes everywhere with you.

A5 · Everyday

The Stitched

The all-rounder. Meetings, journalling, a day’s worth of thinking held in one sewn, hard-wearing book.

A5 · 160 pages

The Layflat

Room to sketch and spread out. Opens completely flat for two-page work that never fights the spine.
