Dapper Notes – Enon Avital’s unique, beautiful notebooks covered in lush paper and fabric and filled with excellent paper – occupy a special place in the notebook landscape.

Enon is that creator, and we had a lovely time learning why he started producing beautiful books, the pleasure he takes in sharing the process, and the care he takes in creating objects that are inherently unexpected.
