Buying stationery as a gift usually means matching pieces from different places and hoping they go together. This set puts a notebook, a case and a pen from one designer in a single gift, so it feels considered and gets used every day, from the first page of notes to the last.

Are the notebook pages lined or blank?

The notebook has 104 lined pages, which suits handwriting, lists, meeting notes and study.

What size is the notebook?

It is A5, roughly the size of a hardback novel, so it fits most handbags, tote bags and backpacks.

Can the pencil case hold makeup brushes?

Yes. At 20cm long, it fits most makeup brushes, eyeliners and pencils, as well as pens.

Is the pencil case real leather?

No. It is made from soft faux leather and coated kraft paper, which gives a leather-look finish.

What colour ink does the pen use?

The ballpoint pen writes in black ink, a practical choice for work, school and formal notes.

Can the pieces be bought separately?

Yes. Each piece is also sold individually on Waha, so a notebook or pen can be added later.

Is this a good gift for a teacher?

Yes. A notebook, case and pen are used every day in class, which makes this a useful thank-you gift.

How should the pencil case be cleaned?

Wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth, avoid soaking it, and leave it to dry before refilling.

Does the set suit students going back to school?

It does. The lined pages, compact case and ready-to-use pen cover the basics for a new term.
