About Us
We introduced our collection of thick, luxury notepads in 2012 at our small brick-and-mortar shop in Pacific Palisades, California. We started with just the black initial line; they became so popular that we decided to add more designs and offer them wholesale to our friends in the business. The rest is history!
These notepads are special! 275 sheets of luxurious, smooth 80# text weight paper for our original large pads, and 140 sheets of extra-heavy 80# cover stock for our Luxe Gold Foils (160 sheets for the Gold Foil Bucks and Paddies). Even the 80# text weight on our color-printed pads is so thick your pen will fall deeply in love.
These deluxe notepads are just waiting for your lists, your thoughts, your plans, your brilliant ideas… and your love notes, too. Weighing in at almost 3 lbs (even more for the large gold foils), each notepad is made with the finest quality paper and card stock and works beautifully as fine stationery. Fold a page from the large notepad (8.5x7) in half and it will fit snugly into a #10 envelope; our buck notepads (4x9.25) slip into the same envelopes without folding. We also carry small square notepads (5.5x5.5) which will fit into 5.75 square envelopes (see our recommendations for envelope and ribbon suppliers on page 29). Please explore to see the entire line, and don’t forget to order trays too. They look beautiful on any desk or table top.
Deliciously thick notepads of the highest quality paper, in three sizes.
