The Workshop

Every planner begins
with a single sheet.

We fold 90gsm Italian cotton paper into eight-leaf signatures, sew them with waxed linen thread through hand-pierced stations, and case them into covers cut from vegetable-tanned board. The result opens flat on a desk and stays open — no fighting the spine, no ghosting through the page.

"I've used the same planner method for six years. Folio is the first book that kept up with me."

— Margot Bellamy, Creative Director

90gsm · Fabriano Medioevalis

Italian Cotton Paper

Mould-made in the Fabriano valley since 1264. The surface accepts fountain pen ink with zero feathering — watch ink sit on top, then sink cleanly.

Waxed Linen Thread

Each signature is hand-sewn through five pierced stations with waxed linen. The thread outlasts the paper and the cover — and shows beautifully at the spine.
