Different ways to use a journal

Make it fun by adding pictures of your recipes or stickers of food. Decorate with a pretty washi tape.

the dots should really be on a metric scale grid of 5x5mm or 10x10mm
Other than that, i LOVE the journal.

Hi Jasper
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you love the journal overall. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the dot spacing and will certainly take it into consideration for future designs. Your input helps us improve, and we’re grateful for it!

A worthy Moleskine replacement

Soft to the touch, like leather (but not), the cover communicates true quality. The paper also feels very similar to the classic Moleskine notebooks. I've been searching for quality blank page notebooks for a long time, and this is the only ones I could find. And it being local is a bonus! Well done to The Papery team!

Beautiful journal, made with amazing quality. The silver cover is gorgeous! I would just say that the paper is not quite thick enough to prevent ink from markers or highlighters from penetrating through to the other side of the page.

M
Marlouise

The Papery provides one of the very few square grid bullet journals available in South Africa for an affordable price. I love the fact that there are so many cover options, and I have just received my third order from them. The journal covers stay intact and doesn't show wear and tear easily. My only complaint is that the pages are very thin and that often leads to pens bleeding through to the next page and prevents the use of most markers, but as long as you are selective with the stationery you use, the journals are of great quality.
