The Paperie Blog

Leuchtturm have been making quality stationery for over 90 years and the 1917 range is one of the most popular notebooks in Germany.   This fabulous notebook range is now available in the UK and at The Paperie we’re stocking more than 100 different variants. With the wide range of colours and paper styles, Leuchtturm has quickly become our best selling notebook range.

Similar in many ways to the Moleskine range of notebooks, Leuchtturm1917 notebooks come in a much wider range of colours – 11 in total –  including black, white, red, pink, blue, green, brown, tobacco, taupe – almost every colour you can think of!

The notebooks are available in a range of sizes from pocket (A6) through to A5 and a jumbo A4+ version, and they come in a choice of four paper styles – ruled, squared, dotted and plain. The markings within the notebook are suitably subtle for design or writing work and we’ve found the notebooks work excellently with most types of fountain pen.

Finally, to make organising your thoughts that little bit easier, each notebook also has an area for you to list the contents at the front and each page is individually numbered. You can even add a pen loop in one of six different colours to ensure your pen and notebook are never parted.

The Leuchtturm1917 range starts at £8.95 for the pocket notebooks and is now available for shipping worldwide – FREE UK delivery is available.
