Time-Tested

Received the 1st September 2012 : 

“I said to myself during this beautiful first day of September and seeing it on the table in the garden, that it would probably pleased you to have some news from an old Calepino that has already well lived, traveled and helped many times, many annotated sketches, plans, lists and notes of all kinds … Here are some pictures of my (already!) old Calepino who follows me everywhere for several months now. You will notice: somewhat cuted and intersected to adapt perfectly to the back pocket of my eternal 501 and to adapt the closer my beautiful curves of my little right cheek! !”

Summer break

Biblioteca de Arte – Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian

Tomorrow night is the beginning of the holidays for Calepino.
A little rest, travel, and time with family. A good time to relax and maybe to think about the future creations and products.

There will be no dispatch from the 14th of July to the 27th, but you can still place your orders and still enjoy the summer sales discount of 15% with the code “SOLDES15”. I will dispatch these orders when I’ll be back, July 31.

For those who wish to receive their notebooks before the holiday period, and take them on vacation, order online until Friday, July 13, 3pm (Paris Time) and you will be delivered within the next 10 days.

Happy holidays to all.

Notebook customization projects

Calepino proposes for some time the notebook customization.
Whether for an event, a collaboration, a brand, a business, a boutique or even just for fun, hundreds of these customized notebooks are already out of the workshop.

Here are some snapshots from the workshop (completed or in progress) of some of these pocket notebooks customized for different brands or stores in France and abroad.

Calepino in The Netherlands

Two new shops have now Calepino in stock in The Netherlands.

The first one is Red Wing Shoes, the famous shoes brand, that proposes the notebooks and wooden pencils in their beautiful shop in Amsterdam. You’ll find it at the 15th Reestraat, 1016 DM Amsterdam. Do not hesitate to visit this really nice place when you’ll be there.

 

The second shop is By Mölle in Hoonhorst at 5th Kerkstraat. Hoonhorst is a small village located in the city of Dalfsen, eastern part of The Netherlands. In this city, Marianne Maat and Ken Hughes decided to open their shop in an old windmill from 1862, and provide functional products made of natural materials, crafted in Europe with respect for our environment. A peaceful place where you can now find Calepino…
