Archer and Olive - Storybook in Plum Notebook

A notebook made to resemble a treasured volume pulled from an old library shelf.

The Storybook in Plum journal from Archer & Olive is bound in deep plum vegan leather and finished with intricate gold-foil and embossed detailing inspired by the ornamented covers of traditional storybooks. Its rich color and decorative binding make it particularly suited to commonplace keeping, reading notes, personal journaling, quotations, sketches, and collections of thoughts gathered over time.

Inside are 160 pages of substantial 160gsm dot-grid paper, sewn with a lay-flat binding for comfortable writing across the spread. A pen loop, ribbon bookmarks, and back pocket complete the book.

We selected the Storybook for The Library because it offers something quite different from our thinner fountain-pen papers: a substantial page intended for journaling, stamping, drawing, collage, and mixed-media work.

A note for fountain pen writers: Boston Lore Studio carries this journal for its heavy paper, beautiful binding, and versatility rather than as a dedicated fountain-pen notebook. Fountain pen performance can vary considerably by ink and nib. For writers specifically seeking paper optimized for fountain pens, we recommend our Tomoe River selections.
