Before announcing new stuff for October, Calepino is giving away some beautiful bookmarks, some metal line markers. Found by Jenn who sent me a box, these little brass bookmarks can be added to your pages to show you exactly what you were reading or writing in your notebook.
Limited to the next 30 orders, no minimum order !
We will start adding them in each order starting from number 91744.
Since last week, Calepino is sold at the brand new store “1984” located in Seoul, South Korea. An opening party was organized on the 20th of September. Here are some pictures.

The colour of the leather will change over time.

Even if it was not a priority at the origin,
it is clear that Calepino was well received internationally.
In less than a year, our small notebooks made in France
have been sold in more than fifty countries.
Last in list, in Montreal – Canada at the nice shop Rooney.
In Seoul as well, South Korea (pictures hopefully soon).
And more recently in Singapore.
There are two shops carrying international designer brands,
such as Engineered Garment, Makr, Il Brusseto, Moscot et Gitman Vintage,
and now Calepino.
Both located in the capital, the shops KNOW NOTHING IT
and the very recent (open only a few days ago) PACT also develop
their own creations branded SIFR.
Some pictures from these places:
As often, it is a story of meetings. The one between Calepino and Thierry Weyd in charge of the “Editions Cactus“, which invests different fields such as literature, poetry, comics, music, performance, visual arts, cinema…
And the one with Lukas Richarz, artist, who lives and works in Nantes at the workshop from the “Association Mille feuilles”.
Meetings which lead to the creation of a work of the latter,
in the form of a book: QUALITY CONTROL (O023).
An object published by “La Manufacture des Cactées” (Editions Cactus), manufactured and printed in Nantes by Calepino in 100 copies, then controlled by its author.
This very special Calepino notebook (I do not reveal anything…) is to be published Saturday, September 8, 2012 at the opening of the exhibition VOLKS TRESOR by Lukas Richarz at the Fermeture Eclair, in Caen (France), starting at 7.30 pm. You will discover its uniqueness and get it on this occasion. Some more pictures will follow ……..

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! !”

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…
