I guess I’m lucky that my notebook addiction has never tended to focus itself too much on truly high-end, luxury notebooks like this gorgeous Hermès notebook cover made of ostrich leather. I’ve occasionally coveted such things, and who wouldn’t! But at $1,000 new, or $100-200 used (if you’re lucky enough to find one), plus the cost of refills at $35 each, an addiction to this kind of notebook could bankrupt most people pretty quickly! I wouldn’t mind having one of these, though– the system for attaching the notebook to the cover is rather clever, and the leather must feel great.
From what I can see on the Hermes website, they don’t sell this kind of notebook cover anymore, and the notebooks they offer now, while “only” about $500 and up, don’t tempt me at all! They still sell the refills for this notebook, though.

Hi Nifty,
Thank you for the link! Hermes does in fact still make this agenda cover. Their website only has a very small fraction of what they produce.
Product availability is difficult with Hermes. They might only make 6 of these agenda covers a year and the only way to find out which stores have them is to call the stores that have them. An Hermes store has no way of knowing what other Hermes stores have.
Kind regards,
Blake
