A couple of years back a quaint little stationery shop in Paris called Louise Carmen went viral on the Internet. They make leather notebooks which you can customise in the store itself. You can get your name embossed, add charms, even customise the paper inside. The whole point of the notebook is that you buy it once and it lasts you a lifetime. It comes with additional inserts, that users can just keep replacing once they run out of paper. This writer finds them to be extremely chic and has always dreamt of going to Paris and buying one for herself.
