Mindful Journalling
Chic layflat notebooks designed for creative, style-conscious minds
At Ink & Bloom, we create stationery for those who see paper as more than practical – it’s a creative space, a moment of calm, a form of self-expression. Our layflat journals are thoughtfully made in England using FSC-certified 300gsm card stock printed with vegetable-based inks, making them as gentle on the planet as they are beautiful in your hand.
Inside, you’ll find 208 off-white blank pages, 100gsm in weight and fountain pen friendly. The specialist sewn lay-flat binding allows your notebook to rest fully open, so you can write, sketch, or plan across a full double-page spread without interruption. It’s an absolute pleasure to use – whether you’re capturing thoughts on the go or settling into a quiet, intentional journalling session.
We believe that journalling is good for the soul. Taking time to slow down, check in with your thoughts, and clear your mind on paper is a simple yet powerful act of self-care. Whether you're writing your next big idea, making sense of a busy day, or simply exploring creative thoughts, our notebooks are designed to support that journey – beautifully.
Each layflat journal is finished with our signature linen-textured cover, created using a silk-weaved embossed finish. These eye-catching designs are painted in our Manchester studio and reflect a love of colour, form and expression. As with your favourite bag or jewellery, your notebook should feel personal and stylish – something you reach for daily and are proud to keep close.
If you're searching for a luxury A5 lay-flat journal, a plain page notebook for sketching, or a flat-lay notebook that opens perfectly every time, this collection is for you. Made for style-conscious individuals, designed with care, and built for everyday use.
