Whether you're new to this beloved brand or a long-time fan, there's something here to spark your creativity.

Best of all? You finally have a home for your composition book! Say goodbye to those uninspired cardboard covers and say hello to full-grain leather luxury. Available in three unique styles, the Number 9 collection is here to elevate your journaling experience. Let’s dive into what makes this anniversary edition so special and why the B5 size is worth celebrating!

Why the B5 Size is a Perfect Fit

The B5 notebook has always been a fan favorite because it strikes the perfect balance between spacious and portable. At 10.75" tall by 16.5" wide (270mm x 420mm) when laid flat, this size is ideal for composition books, creative journaling, and planning your biggest adventures. It gives you the extra space you need for writing, sketching, or organizing, without being as cumbersome as a full letter-sized notebook.

Here’s why the B5 traveler’s notebook is such a game-changer:

• Spacious Writing Canvas: Perfect for those who feel cramped in smaller journals. Whether you're mapping out a project, creating an art journal, or filling pages with long-form thoughts, the B5 has room to breathe.
• Composition Book Compatible: Finally, a size designed to snugly house your composition books. This is especially great for students, writers, or professionals who love this classic format but want to dress it up in style.
• Balanced Design: While larger than an A5, the B5 is still portable enough to slide into most bags, making it an ideal companion for life on the go.
