I had packages waiting for me when I returned from vacation - lots of packages. First up, I received a shipment of the Traveler’s Company “B-Sides and Rarities” refills and accessories, described as “a range of refills that are a little out of the ordinary.” These include “Washable Paper” made from the same material as laundry tags intended to survive a trip through the washing machine, “Super Lightweight“ paper that is even thinner than Tomoe River, and a “Letter Pad” featuring sheets of Midori MD Cotton Paper with lines on one side and grid on the other.
More offbeat refills, not primarily intended for writing, include a “Sticker Release Paper” designed to hold a sticker collection, an “Accordion Paper” insert that folds out like a roadmap, “Message Card” refills that contain letterpress-style notes to exchange with friends you meet on your travels, and zippered cotton cases that allow you to use your Traveler’s Notebook as a wallet. I plan to have a more thorough, in-depth review of certain refills this week.
The MD Cotton Notebooks shown compared against a standard Midori MD A5.
Finally, we now carry Midori MD Cotton Notebooks, in sizes F0, F2, and F3. These slightly larger formats, originally intended for art but equally good for writing, offer a larger page dimension inspired by the golden ratio. Midori MD Cotton Paper is among my favorite writing papers, and behaves exceptionally well with fountain pen ink. Visit the shop for additional details!
