France has been making exceptional paper since 1934, and the Rhodiarama softcover is where that heritage meets a format you'll actually carry everywhere. At 105 x 148mm, this A6 notebook sits comfortably in a coat pocket, a handbag, or the breast pocket of a jacket. It goes where larger notebooks cannot.
The cover
The cover is finished in Italian leatherette, soft to the touch and genuinely tactile in a way that synthetic materials rarely are. The Rhodia logo is embossed cleanly onto the front, and the rounded corners give the book a refined, considered silhouette. The cover flexes rather than creases, so it holds up well through daily use without developing the unsightly warping that stiffer covers are prone to.
Twenty cover colours are available, from understated classics like Black, Chocolate, and Taupe through to richer tones including Sapphire, Iris, Peacock, Midnight, and Raspberry. There is something here for the reserved and the expressive alike.
The paper
This is where Rhodia has always distinguished itself. The paper is a premium 90gsm ivory vellum, acid-free and pH neutral, with a surface smooth enough to make writing a genuine pleasure rather than a chore. It is fountain pen friendly and handles markers without significant bleed-through, which makes it unusually versatile across different writing instruments. The ivory tone is warmer and easier on the eye than stark white, particularly under artificial light.
The A6 format contains 144 pages, with a glued spine that lies flat when open. Ruling options are lined or dot grid, the latter being particularly well suited to mixed use: structured writing, sketching, diagrams, and bullet journaling all coexist comfortably on a dot grid page.
The details
An orange ribbon page marker keeps your place without folding corners, and an elastic closure keeps the notebook securely shut in a bag. An expanding inner pocket at the back holds loose papers, receipts, cards, or whatever accumulates during the day. The signature Rhodia orange used throughout the interior is a small, deliberate touch that makes the notebook feel complete rather than merely functional.
In use
The A6 Rhodiarama works well as a daily carry journal, a meeting notebook, a sketchbook for quick ideation, or a dedicated space for a single project. Its size means it is always within reach; its paper quality means you will not resent using a good pen in it. It makes an equally thoughtful gift for someone who writes seriously.
