Key features & specs

How it compares

In the landscape of Office & Stationery, Baronfig stands out by avoiding the animal-based glues and leather covers commonly found in European luxury notebook brands. While it offers a similar tactile feel to more famous competitors, the Confidant's focus on the 'lay-flat' design makes it objectively better for two-page spreads and left-handed writers.

How to use it

1. Open the notebook to any page; the thread binding will ensure it rests flat without holding.
2. Choose between dot grid, ruled, or blank pages depending on your specific project needs.
3. Use fountain pens, markers, or pencils; the 90gsm paper is thick enough to resist most feathering.
4. Utilize the included fabric bookmark to keep track of your most important notes.
5. When full, the archival-quality paper ensures your entries won't yellow or fade over time.
