It’s back to school time, so everyone’s posting about the best notebooks and pens. But a post at High Snobiety actually caught my eye with a lot of notebook brands I’d never heard of. Many of their picks are a bit more expensive than your average back to school notebook… just a bit…

That said, they start off with some pretty basic $3 notebooks from Muji:

There are some other brands featured, including Moleskine, that aren’t too pricey. This Normann Copenhagen notebook caught my eye, and is only $26, which for a 14.5 x 22cm notebook with 64 sheets of 120 GSM paper doesn’t seem too too crazy. I had never heard of the Normann Copenhagen brand, which mainly makes furniture and housewares, but they also have a line of office and desk supplies called Daily Fiction, which has some cute stuff that is accessibly priced.

This Montblanc notebook with a Petit Prince design goes for $80:

Then you get into the designer brands, some of which start to get a bit outrageous, such as this $320 notebook by Thom Browne:

The priciest notebooks of all are from Bottega Veneta. This notebook features the brand’s distinctive woven leather on the cover. It comes in two size, 15.5 x 22cm currently priced at $580, or 22 x 27 cm, which was originally priced at $890, but is now marked down to ONLY $356!

Happy back to school shopping, everyone!
