Sol Small A6 Notebook

I was nervous the hand-painted cover would look cheap in person, but the colors are actually rich and the texture feels lovely. The 103 gsm pages take my fountain pen without ghosting, which is a huge plus for me.

The wire binding lies completely flat when I jot notes during meetings, which is rare for an A6. The 103 gsm paper handles my fountain pen without any ghosting on the other side, and the hand-painted back cover is a nice surprise nobody sees coming until they flip it over.

The cover arrived and it's genuinely prettier in person—the hand-painted cloth has a texture you can feel, and knowing the back is painted too makes it feel special. Paper is thick enough that my gel pens don't bleed through, which is exactly what I needed for daily notes.
