This notebook is part of a beautiful series by Norwegian company Darling Clementine. They include exterior color and interior pattern variations. Each notebook is labeled as R.P.S. (rock, paper, scissors) ‘edits.’ This particular edition is between a sand-beige and a mustardy-yellow, with a bold teal and black pattern on the inside front and back covers. It comes, too, with an attached ribbon bookmark; and it includes lined pages. Not only are they visually striking, but the covers feel amazing, a hardcover notebook that still feels soft and a lil bit luxe, especially in its minimalist cover and maximalist inside.

I am particularly fond of these notebooks, and have too many different ‘edits’ at this point. Jk, there is no such thing as too many Darling Clementine notebooks. I first picked these up at one of my favorite stationery stores, Chicago’s Greer, a black-owned shop with some of the best stationery selection in the U.S. I became a bit obsessed, and noticed how fast the R.P.S. notebooks would sell out at Greer’s online shop. I ended up ordering a number of different Darling Clementine products directly from Norway as part of their closing sale in Summer 2020, as they are now focusing on design consulting. I will post the other edits as well, as the color and pattern combinations are too much to not feature.
