There are far too many articles that celebrate cat-themed stationery for my liking. Yes, if you didn’t know already I’m a dog person. So of course I was excited to review a notebook from new brand on the block, Rollo London, which uses a greyhound for its logo.
The basics:
The notebook is pocket-sized, covered in French navy faux-scotch grain leather, which gives it a wonderfully textured finished. It has a matching navy band to keep it neat and tidy and a charming gold-coloured dog charm, yes, Rollo himself, more on which later.Inside, the lined pages are 70gsm, which makes for a smoother writing experience and minimises show-through. There are 92 pages in all so it’ll last a decent length of time, although that depends on how you choose to use it. You can keep your place with the matching page marker. And there is a pocket on the inside back cover for storing the odd receipt or photo.
Usage:
Size-wise, the Rollo London notebook is perfectly suited to an everyday carry, but its luxe appearance elevates it from being the sort of notebook that you might scribble a random phone number in or a shopping list. For this reason, I’ve been using mine as a gratitude diary. Of course, there are heaps of ways you might choose to use a notebook. But it’s the ideal way to make the most of how special it feels while maximising the practical benefits of its shape and size. Its appearance also means it would be a great gift if you can bear to part with it.
The ooh factor:
In my opinion, the thing that makes the Rollo London notebook exclamation-worthy stationery is the 3D dog charm that features on the front cover. The tactile charm gives the notebook its stand out and is typical of its subtle understated charm, building on the luxe materials that it is made from. On the inside front cover there is a gold disc that covers the back of the dog charm. It’s this attention to detail that makes all the difference.
The Rollo London notebook is stocked in flagship Paperchase stores in Glasgow, Manchester and on London’s Tottenham Court Road. Or you can purchase online from RolloLondon.com.
For now, I’m off to find more dog-themed stationery, and to take my tiny terrier Posy for walkies. For more information contact
