Something needs to be said about the good old traveler’s notebook. When traveling, most people have a list of essential items that must accompany them or never even leave their side. Passport is an obvious must, as well as travel documents, money, and of course their mobile devices. But what is it about a notebook that makes it equally as important? What is it with a leather cover and a few blank sheets of paper that make a notebook a travel must-have? It is because it is the most primitive way of recording your journey. It is also the slowest. But it also is the most timeless. And like a beautifully crafted leather briefcase that develops a patina over time, so will the pages that you’ve written on in a beautifully crafted notebook.
Midori was established in 1950. They are the manufacturers and purveyors of fine stationary products. The Travelers Notebook is one of their staple items. The book itself is bound in leather that is made in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Roughly cut and with a rubbery feel, the cover feels rugged, vintage, and worn-in as new.
The paper is MD Paper made in Japan. The highest quality paper you’ll find. Made to take great ink and the most comfortable writing experience. The paper comes as refills for the notebook and can be changed out once it runs out. That way the cover can follow you all around the world to record even more memories as you go from one unforgettable destination after another.
CHARALS has just received incredible line of Midori stationary products including the Traveler’s Notebook. Find us at 171 Robson Street or call 604-689-3497 for more information.

Swiss manufacturer of fine writing instruments Caran d’Ache and world-renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta join forces to create the brand new Fixpencil.
Paying respect to the iconic silhouette of the Fixpencil, Botta has incorporated a chessboard pattern onto the classic hexagonal body. And that chessboard pattern isn’t just for show; every five adjacent rectangles is equivalent to 1 cm, hence making the Fixpencil an accurate measuring device, as well.
Made from light and resistant aluminum, the Fixpencil comes in a beautiful hexagonal case along with four brightly-coloured water-soluble leads.
