Oooh — I can’t wait! They look really nifty. I’m especially interested in the Blackwing folio — I am taking a lot of notes in my new job, and the little elastic holder in my pretty leather folio is too big for pencils. I can’t wait for one that will fit my PB602s!
Thanks Andy. The container arrived this morning. We’re out in the warehouse today getting everything organized, doing incomming inspections and receiving into inventory, etc.. Perhaps some photos to follow on Pencils Pages and Twitter later in the day. Fun stuff.
Charles,
Can you comment on the paper that is being used? These look great!
Sure Marc. Thanks for your interest. All the papers used in our notebooks are sourced from European producers in Spain or Italy. All are acid free with a nice ivory tone. Paper stock weights vary from item to item throughout our range. These will be provided on the individuaa product pages on the Pencils.com store. Also the packaging labels for all our CRS range products will note this information as well so our customers have this information available as we build our retail distribution.
Looks great! Would you have any paper suitable for ink wash over pencil?
That’s really elegant! I am expecting that!
I cannot wait to see the reviews and more pictures and more importantly, get one in my hands.
Hi Charles,
Please send me a parcel…
You can adjust the amount with Mr. Bricka!!
Harshad
Just received Palomino Luxury Sketchbook & Folio cover. Beautiful all the way round. Can keep my pencils and sharpener in one place. A writer by trade, I don’t use unlined paper. Will you have Lined Block Replacements available anytime soon?
Hi I located your page by mistake when i searched Bing for this concern, I have to tell you your blog is absolutely valuable I also really like the design, its cool!
