de KEMPEN, Belgian notebooks by Brepols
Brepols has been making paper goods in Turnhout since 1796, and de KEMPEN is their notebook for people who like to write by hand. A special binding lets it lie completely flat, which helps left-handers and anyone who wants to use the full width of the page. The cream-coloured 90 g/m² FSC paper absorbs ink quickly, so nothing smudges, and it is thick enough that your writing does not show through.
You choose the pages: ruled with page numbers, plain, or dotted with a subtle dot grid. There are two sizes, both with a flexible cover: Large (17 x 22 cm, 192 pages) and Pocket (11 x 16 cm, 160 pages). Every colour has its own endpaper, based on old Brepols marbled paper kept at the National Museum of Playing Cards in Turnhout, and a coloured ribbon bookmark. The cut corner is a nod to the reinforced corners of the old Brepols missals.
At Penworld you can have any notebook personalised with your name, in gold, rose gold or silver foil, or blind embossed. de KEMPEN also comes as a 2027 planner.
