Cotton & Flax Patterned Pocket Notebooks

May 26, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

Erin Dollar, the owner and maker behind Los Angeles-based (and so very chic) Cotton & Flax, recently made her first foray into paper goods, and I’m totally jazzed about it! The new Cotton & Flax notebook collection includes six pocket-sized notebooks in light blue and gold ochre, with a different pattern printed on each.

The notebooks were created in collaboration with Scout Books, and they’re made from 100% recycled paper and vegetable-based inks, so they’re stylin’ AND eco-friendly. Gotta love that. And, if you love getting a peek behind the scenes (I do!), be sure to head on over and have a look at the making of these seriously snazzy notebooks.
