Just came back from Shanghai on Saturday. While researching in certain interesting design shop I found this range of notebook with very nice covers. They are called Imaginote and made in Shanghai.
I like the paper despite the binding is a bit coarsely done. Most of the range is like novels and they lie flat when opened as well. I'm gonna see if they are worth appearing in our stores, will put them into rough use for a few weeks. The cute little deer you asked? It is made in Korea by cplay.
