Fits any A5 & B5 notebook from any brand
100-day happiness guarantee
THE IDEA
Open straight to your page.
No unpacking ritual, no hunting for a pen. Unzip and your journal is already there, lying flat at a true 180Β° so you can write in bed, on the train, or wherever the thought arrives.
THE SYSTEM
Fits the space you're in.
Tight on space? Keep the notebook panel on, your pens and supplies tuck neatly underneath, still a fingertip away. Room to spread out? Lift the panel off and every supply is in front of you at once.
Compact mode: one tidy footprint
Expanded mode: everything on show
Switches in seconds, no repacking
THE CAPACITY
All of this. One zip.
Journal, pens, markers, ruler, sticky notes, stickers, phone, earbuds, e-reader. Every tool has its own loop, slot or pocket, so the thing you reach for is the thing you find.
THE DIFFERENCE
Pack once. Not five times a week.
Every other set-up means gathering your supplies, tipping them into a bag, and doing it all again when you move. The Pouch is packed once and stays packed, grab it and go, indoors or out.
THE FIT
Fits every brand.
Any A5 notebook fits the A5 Pouch and any B5 fits the B5 Pouch - STM, Leuchtturm, Moleskine, Archer & Olive, Rhodia. Keep the journal you already love; just give it somewhere to live.
THE CARRY
Handle it. Folio it. Strap it. Bag it.
Grab the handle for the commute, tuck it folio-style under your arm, clip on the shoulder strap and go hands-free, or drop it into your tote. Four carries, one pouch.
THE BUILD
Built like a bag. Not a pencil case.
Handbag-grade materials throughout: water-resistant, scratch-proof fabric, a non-scratch rubberised zip, premium hook-and-loop, an easy-clip strap and interior mesh pockets. V2 is lighter than the original and tougher.
THE FABRIC
Made from recycled bottles.
That water-resistant shell starts life as recycled PET bottles, spun into a tough technical yarn. It shrugs off drizzle, spills and bag chaos and keeps a little plastic out of the world in the process.
THE SIZE
Two sizes. Pick your notebook.
The A5 Pouch (7β³ Γ 10β³) is the everyday carry, bag-friendly and quick. The B5 Pouch (8.5β³ Γ 12.5β³) takes the bigger notebook and the fuller kit. Same build, same features, same price.
Your desk, wherever you sit.
Train, cafΓ©, park - the kit comes with you, already packed.
Not all pouches are created equal.
Here's what you actually get for your money.

Questions, answered.
-
Any brand's A5 notebook fits the A5 Pouch (7β³ Γ 10β³), and any brand's B5 fits the B5 Pouch (8.5β³ Γ 12.5β³) - STM, Leuchtturm, Moleskine, Archer & Olive, Rhodia and more, hardcover or softcover.
-
No, this listing is for the Pouch only, with its shoulder strap and removable notebook panel. The journals and stationery shown in photos are styling. If you need the journal too, our Dotted Journal Iconic and Pro come in matching A5 and B5.
-
In compact mode the notebook panel stays attached, so your journal sits on top and your supplies tuck neatly underneath, ideal for a train tray table or your lap. Lift the panel off its hook-and-loop and you're in expanded mode: the journal on the panel, the open pouch beside it, every supply visible at once. It takes a second to switch, with no repacking.
-
Yes, that's the point. The pouch opens a full 180Β° and lies completely flat, turning into a portable writing surface for your lap, bed or cafΓ© table, with your pens in reach beneath.
-
Yes, the V2 fabric is water-resistant and scratch-proof, made from recycled PET bottles, with a rubberised zip guarding the seam. It shrugs off rain, splashes and bag spills; it's not designed for submersion.
-
Yes, the shoulder strap clips on and off in seconds, so you can go crossbody on the move and minimal at your desk. Four carry styles: handle, folio, strap, or inside your bag.
