The legend of the Archie Grand notebook family 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 characters of English society (Alan Clark, Nigel Coates, Lord Archer, Bruce Bernard, to name a few) during his London years, 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.

Their notebooks are made with great care and attention to ensure their quality. They have a rigid cover, are thread sewn and have a matt leather-like lamination. The size is 160×115 mm and neatly fits the pocket of a suit or a small evening bag. The notebooks contain 120 blank pages of high quality paper that soaks up the ink perfectly.


They make fabulous gifts for friends and family. Who will you buy one for?
