Ten colours Two papers. One journal.
THE CHOICE
Choose how you create.
Every other journal decides your paper for you. The Pro lets you choose: thick 160gsm for markers, paint and layered spreads or smooth 120gsm that fountain pens glide across, with more pages in the same book.
160gsm: markers, paint and layering
120gsm: fountain pen friendly, everyday writing
Same price, whichever you choose
THE FIT
Sized for your life, not the other way round.
Three sizes, identical inside. B6 slips into a coat pocket and travels light. A5 is the classic, big enough for real spreads, small enough for every bag. B5 gives your layouts, lettering and art room to breathe on the desk.
B6 - 4.9″ × 6.9″ · pocket-sized, travel & everyday notes
A5 - 5.8″ × 8.3″ · the everyday carry classic
B5 - 6.9″ × 9.8″ · extra room to create
THE PAPER
The back of every page stays yours.
Pens, brush markers, even paint, the ink stays where you put it. No bleed, no ghosting, so every spread gets a clean page behind it and no page in your journal is wasted.
THE SETUP
Page one is ready before you are.
A pre-printed key, index, numbered pages and a pen test page, plus a layout divider guide in the box. The tedious setup evening is already done; your first entry can be an actual entry.
THE BUILD
Considered, down to the last stitch.
True lay-flat binding that stays open where you leave it. A pen loop and elastic closure. Two bookmarks so your weekly spread and your collections are never more than a flick apart. All wrapped in textured vegan leather.
THE FEEL
Quiet on the outside. Loud on the inside.
No embossing, no pattern, no noise, just smooth matte vegan leather in a colour you chose. The Pro looks at home in a Monday meeting and on a Sunday nightstand, and gives whatever you make inside the plainest possible frame.
One journal. Three lives.
Plan your week. Journal your evenings. Create something beautiful in between.
IN THE BOX
Everything you need to start and keep.
A black fineliner pen, a layout divider guide, and a printed storage box that keeps a finished journal safe on the shelf. Everything you need to start, and to keep what you started.
Not all dotted journals are created equal.
A minimalist cover doesn't have to mean a basic journal.

"I've found my forever notebook"
"I've tried them all — Moleskine, Rhodia, Leuchtturm… Then one day I happened across Scribbles That Matter. The paper drinks the inks in. Holds them. There is no bleed through. The pages feel sturdy in my hand. You want an outstanding notebook? GET THIS NOTEBOOK."

"Plain, clean, and professional - it just works"
"No flashy patterns or shiny logos. Just blank pages that invite your own creativity. I like that it doesn't try too hard. The paper is thick enough for gel pens, fineliners and brush pens without bleed-through or ghosting — and I write with a pretty heavy hand. It's my go-to now."

"A true workhorse - well worth every penny"
"I waited a long time to write this review as I really wanted to test its durability. I threw it around, carried it everywhere and opened and closed it a thousand times. The ribbons never ripped, the pockets stayed solid, and the paper is magnificent — 160gsm! I just ordered another one."
