Korean Notebook Set

A old friend of mine lives in South Korea. Whenever she visits the US, she brings me some little gift, usually cute Korean stationery! This little notebook set was from her last visit. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen notebooks clipped into a carabiner before!

The notebooks are all blank inside, and each has a different colorful design on the exterior. The construction is a single stitched signature, and the covers are nice and sturdy. At 3 7/8 x 5 1/2″ , the size is a little wider than a Field Notes or most other single-signature notebooks, but it’s still good for tucking in a pocket if you unhook them from the carabiner.

I don’t think I would ever buy a set of notebooks hole-punched for a single ring or carabiner like this, but I can’t deny that it has a certain practicality. You could clip one notebook or all three to a bag to keep then handy for jotting quick notes. Maybe they could be clipped to a reuseable bag to keep a shopping list at hand when you go grocery shopping. A kid could clip them to a school backpack… though I can see how that would backfire, at least if you went to school with some of the wiseass kids I did!

There’s no branding on the outside, so I have no idea who makes this notebook set. A quick google search didn’t turn up any similar products, so they are a bit of a mystery! They’ll never be something I use daily, but they’re a fun curiosity, and a pleasant reminder of my thoughtful friend.
