Light and soft like the thin skin of an onion, the diaphanous paper of the Dressco notebook has a unique wrinkled feel. Diaphanous: a beautiful word and yet seldom used for materials that allow light to pass through them. The same type of paper was much loved for international mail during the era of typewriters. Nowadays, there are almost no manufacturers that continue to make this type of paper, but Dressco has created a notebook that allows you to fully enjoy its unique texture.

The cover is Biotope Magellan Blue, which features a deep, vivid color and a craft-like texture. The endpaper that connects the cover and onion paper of the notebook is Sagan Sachs Blue with a sandstone-like texture.

A trademark of TAKEO paper makers, Dressco was born from the idea of expanding how people can experience paper through rich textures and colors. The design of the Dressco line products is kept simple in order to emphasize the qualities of the paper. Particular attention is paid to the binding and manufacturing techniques of the notebooks.
