Caderno Pequeno Dorian

The hand-painted cover is what sold me, and it looks even better in person—the paint has a lovely depth you don't see in printed ones. The 103 gsm pages hold up great to my fountain pen without any bleed-through, which is a rare find.

Flipping through 120 pages of this thick 103 gsm paper feels incredibly smooth, and the wire binding lies completely flat when I’m writing. The hand-painted cloth on both covers is even more vivid in person, a tiny work of art for my desk.

The cover’s hand-painted cloth is so unique—mine has this soft, uneven brushstroke pattern I can’t stop staring at. The 103 gsm pages handle ink without ghosting, and the wire binding feels sturdy enough for daily tossing in my bag.
