Clairefontaine's A5 Koverbook Blush range of notebooks are made for the - how shall we put it? - slightly less careful among us!

That's because the cover is a sturdy polypropylene, which will put up with a fair degree of being stuffed into bags and maybe dropped a few times. Its double wire binding means that sheets of paper are not only secure, but you can open the notebook up flat on the desk which makes things a lot easier when writing.

But the fact that it's practical doesn't mean it has to be unstylish, because it's not. The pastel coloured cover is pleasing enough to grace a boardroom table as much as a classroom desk. The two flaps serve as both bookmarks and storage pockets, and it's supplied with a sticky label so you can personalise your Koverbook.

Contains 160 ruled pages of superior quality Clairefontaine 90 gsm brushed vellum, which is PEFC certified. Made in France.
