Here at Sujiivana we love a product with a story, and the legend of the Archie Grand notebook family, as told by Archie himself, goes a little like this:
“Founded in the recession of the 1980s, the original family company found itself in dire straits after the death of Archie’s grandfather, Reinhold. Archie was at this time in London attending Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art. A further decade was spent embroiled in artistic practice until, last year, Archie decided to revamp and revitalise his grandfather’s company.
Having met some of the great characters of English society including Alan Clark, Nigel Coates, Lord Archer, and Bruce Bernard, Archie came upon the notion that each of these charming charlatans should each receive a notebook of matching colour – a gift to aid them in their creative pursuits. And so Archie Grand Notebooks, for friend and foe, came into being.”
The notebooks are made with great care and attention to detail. With 120 pages of quality blank paper, they have a rigid cover, are thread-sewn and have a matt leather-like lamination. They’re the perfect size for a pocket or your evening bag! Ideal for notes, journals and sketches and they make wonderful, fun gifts.
Colourful, stylish and supporting a small and entrepreneurial family business… fabulous!
The Sujiivana team each has their favourite – which one will you choose?
