Westerstraat 112, Jordaan
A Jordaan paper shop with a bindery behind it
Paper & Quill sells hand-bound notebooks, fountain pens, inks and good paper. The notebooks are folded, sewn and covered in the workshop behind the counter, then sent to you wrapped in kraft paper.
- Bound in our own workshop
- Free name embossing
- 100 g paper that holds ink
For people who still write by hand
Journal keepers, art students, fountain pen fans and anyone looking for a gift with a name on it.
Good paper should hold ink. A notebook should last. That's the whole idea behind the shop.
So we use 100 g paper that stops ink from bleeding through, and we bind every notebook in our own workshop instead of reselling someone else's. Whether you sketch in graphite, try a new ink every week or still write letters, the page should keep up with you.
Buying for someone else? We'll emboss their name on any notebook, for free.

How a notebook is made behind our shop
Every notebook goes through the same four steps on the bench at Westerstraat 112.

Fold the paper
Sheets of 100 g paper are folded into signatures, the small stacks of pages that become the body of your notebook.
