Need a notebook that’s as bold as your to-do list? The Penco Reporter Notebook delivers retro vibes in a perfectly palm-sized format, ready to capture every bright idea, shopping list, or secret sketch.
✨ Why you’ll love it:
• ✔️ Pocket-perfect and top-bound. A7 size with top binding = quick notes, fast flips, and easy handling—just like an old-school reporter (minus the trench coat).

• ✔️ Tough but soft. The flexible PP cover is smooth to the touch and built to survive bags, pockets, and spontaneous inspiration.
Available in 7 vibrant colours—from classic navy to punchy red—this notebook is small in size but big on personality.
Perfect for: Creative bursts, field notes, micro journaling, or keeping in your back pocket for whenever inspiration strikes.
