Description
Handmade in Italy, the CIAK Softcover Notebook is quietly elegant and built to be used—day in, day out. Its signature horizontal elastic closure keeps your notes secure and doubles, rather cleverly, as a pen loop. The cover is soft yet durable, made from vegan-friendly faux leather, while the smooth, ivory-toned recycled paper inside makes writing feel effortless—whether you’re scribbling ideas or plotting greatness.
This is a notebook that looks after your thoughts—and the planet, too.
Top 3 Features
- Fountain Pen Friendly: 80gsm recycled paper that resists feathering and bleed
- Signature Closure: Elastic band keeps it neatly shut and doubles as a pen holder
- Vegan & Handmade: Faux leather cover crafted in Italy with no animal products

I’ve really enjoyed having this notebook as a journal. Such good quality, from the covers to the pages to the elastic closure- it’s super handy. I hope to keep buying the same notebook for years

CIAK Evo Large Notebook (A5, Dot Grid) Red
Beautiful notebook, and I do like a good notebook! The cover is lovely, flexible but not too much. The paper quality is great too, but I have yet to write on it. I also like the horizontal elastic closure, which can also keep a pen at hand. I chose the red/dots version. The red is a great colour and dots have long been favoured for flexibility. Great product.

Great format, and fab value. Paper quality is good if you like a smooth off white. I’ve always got one on the go.

CIAK Evo Large Notebook (A5, Plain) Yellow
I highly recommend the journal. I have been journaling for many years now, and I feel the for the money it is a very good quality journal. It is luxury for sure. The quality of the paper is also very good, I use ink and fountain pens and it doesn't imprint on the other side.
