Summer of Sketching

Collaboration first

This edition marks the very first Dapper Notes collaboration with another artist, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how it all came out.

The outdoors are calling

Summer of Sketching is a project aimed at encouraging artists to go outside and create, using the warm weather to be inspired by nature and the outdoors. Happy summer, and happy sketching!

All in the details

Can you pinpoint what inspires you to write, to doodle, to journal your everyday? No matter the source, your Dapper Notes was made with extra care for all the little details, and is ready for you to capture life!

Watch
How Summer of Sketching was made

Every Dapper Notes notebook is made by hand, from scratch using a variety of materials including: a fabric cover that's bound to bookcloth, a decorative end-sheet, all sewn with waxed thread. Watch this video to see how they're made, step by step.

Fabric covered

Every notebook cover is made from two materials: a good looking fabric on the outside backed by book cloth inside.

Reviews

Dapper notes are the antidote to the digital age. Every item is handcrafted, hand-sewn, and designed for maximum delight.

Teresa

Highest quality construction and materials, keen eye for detail, and delicious design, month after month.

Dana

Dapper Notes are the best quality pocket sized notebooks you can get. The textile cover and thread binding means the books will hold up through time. I love the thick paper as well; good for fountain pens.

Cindy

I am a lover of texture, both visually and physically, so the different book covers are perfect for me!
