Paperchase sadness, where do I get notebooks now?!

I know paperchase closed a while ago, I stocked up on their Agenzio notebooks and I'm only just coming to my last ones.

I am notebook lost. Where do I go now?! My parameters are:

Must have off white pages - I can't use bright white paper.

I prefer bullet journal style but lined js fine

I will spend a reasonable amount, I used to buy the paperchase ones full price.

I mostly use notebooks for work and it upsets me to use fancy lovely ones for that so moleskine would be a stretch too far for me, plus I go through them quite fast.

TK Maxx have a lovely range of quirky notebooks.

MadeOfAllWork · 21/10/2023 09:11

Tiger have a good range of note books.

I get the moleskine ones in tk maxx

Ottergami B5s are reduced on Amazon now - perfect size and lovely paper. Less keen on covers, but they are a joy to use.

Papier?

tinyrobot2 · 21/10/2023 09:15

Waterstones shave some similar to the Agenzio, they have a range for around £12/13 as well as some more expensive moleskin ones

Tesco will be selling Paperchase items soon apparently

Yep our big Tesco is currently setting up their Paperchase section!

MadMadMad · 21/10/2023 09:42

Newmum you beat me to it, our Tesco Extra is also setting up a whole aisle for Paperchase “coming soon”

I like Leuchtterm but not sure if the paper colour would be right. Found a video comparing them here: https://www.gouletpens.com/blogs/fountain-pen-blog/leuchtturm1917-notebooks

CatOnAHotShedRoof · 21/10/2023 11:34

Agree with PPs - TK Maxx is good for stationery. I like their hardback notebooks for journaling.

GunboatDiplomacy · 21/10/2023 11:39

Our old Paperchase has been taken over by Ryman Design which is clearly aiming at the same niche.

Atorres243 · 01/08/2025 18:34

I search on eBay and other reseller websites

ChristmasLightsLover · 01/08/2025 18:34

Muji have good ones.

purplecorkheart · 01/08/2025 20:31

TK Maxx is worth a look. Tiger also. I tend to find that giftshops at tourist attractions are worth a look or if your local garden centre has a gift shop. Bookshops are also worth a look.

Lulu1919 · 01/08/2025 20:34

Paper chase sell in Tesco and Sainsbury's

madaboutpurple · 01/08/2025 22:08

The Works have some stationery that is worth a look.

EveryDayisFriday · 01/08/2025 22:10

I get my notebooks and diaries from The Works.

@youveturnedupwelldone I’m overly invested in this for you. Appreciate Lecturnnnnn ;) 1917 will be too spendy, so how about something like this from Amazon. Still naice, but more budget friendly?

I love notebooks so much that I bought a stationery business many years ago so I really am a fellow nerd for this kind of thing.

I rate Muji paper. And their pens too. But am still working through some of our old stock so I can’t really be spending on much these days.

Apart from a diary. Cos it’s a new one each year!!!!

Maybe I should change my username to “OfStationery”…

Hello, two years on, I have a small one still in its packaging if you want it (15cm x11cm). More than happy to send if you sort postage!

channelislander · 09/08/2025 15:53

I miss Paperchase so much! Not only do I struggle finding the right kind of notebooks since they shut down, but finding birthday cards is near-impossible. Everything else seems either too crude or too twee for my taste!

As a former Agenzio die-hard I've become a big fan of Leuchtterrm, as a PP suggested. I saw some Moderno notebooks in WHSmith recently which had a similar look and feel to them, so I might try those at some point. I'm glad it sounds like Tesco are finally reintroducing the Paperchase range, if only I didn't need to board a flight to get to one!

Saw some paperchase ones in Tesco yesterday
