Pocket Books are crafted entirely in-house at the Ola Bristol studio. The ideal companion for note-taking on the move, they have been designed to offer the quality and durability in a compact size.

Perfect for shopping lists, field notes or on-the-go sketches - they are a joy to use.

Made with beautiful 120gsm ivory paper stock for the pages, with a pleasing texture and good opacity (fountain pen friendly, as always). You’ll find 32 pages inside, that have been simply saddle stitched at the spine.

Each is a bespoke size inspired by traditional Japanese bindings, chosen so that it can be easily slipped into a pocket or bag, but with enough room on each page for sketches and scribbles.

The covers are traditionally printed and cut from large heavy-weight sheets of Ola signature patterned papers. This means each cover is unique and even more special. A simple brass foil logo adds the finishing touch, hand-foiled to the back of each book.

Each set features 2 prints and is presented carefully wrapped in a hand-printed band.

About Ola.

Ola was founded by Katy Goutefangea in the spring of 2013. In her time at art school and years working as a printmaker, Katy had accumulated shelves brimming with sketchbooks, but had yet to find the perfect too. Ola notebooks, cards and papers are produced with the kind of quality that only a love for traditional skills and craftsmanship can bring. Each item is a quiet celebration of pattern and simplicity, influenced by architecture, abstract art and midcentury design.
