The brand's philosophy is "A little nice, goes the extra mile"
Items are well designed, minimalist and clean looking but still affordable.
I picked these notebooks up during my first visit to a Standard Products store.
On the left is the ash notepad, it's A7 sized, 80 sheets of white paper in a 5mm grid layout
The other is a gray notebook, A6 sized, 64 sheets of cream paper in a 7mm ruled layout.
The ash notepad is a great size for casual notetaking.
I was surprised by the paper quality, it feels coated and it's very smooth.
The cream paper in the notebook feels reminiscent of Midori's cream paper but of course, Midori's paper can't be beat.
Both the grid and ruled layouts are very functional, the printing is light but visible.
Design wise, I think they are very pretty, they would look great even as table decoration.
My only gripe is that the cover design on the notebook is a slipcover and I would've liked it if it was printed on instead.
In conclusion, these notebooks are very affordable. So if you're looking for an aesthetic simple notebook/notepad, I recommend going to Standard Products and picking these up!
