» Calling all Bloggers – Interested in reviewing some Exaclair products?
Many of you already know how generous my boss Karen Doherty is with sending out samples for review. If you don’t then I will tell you. We love when bloggers review our products – good, bad or indifferent. The comments that you provide help us to know what you want, and if any improvements are needed. (Such as creating a blank Webbie.)
Though Rhodia and Clairefontaine are a huge entity in Europe, they are not yet as widely known in the United States- but we are working very hard to change that. Your word of mouth advertising is helping us to grow by leaps and bounds. While we might not have the advertising budget of some of the other notebook companies, what we do have are solid product lines that our customers are quite passionate about and wonderful people such as yourselves that are willing to tell others how much you enjoy using your Webbie, Habana or J. Herbin ink.
That being said, if you are a blogger, we’d like to know if you would like to receive Exaclair products to review on your blog. We are not promising that everyone will be able to receive something on this go-round, but we will take a look at your blog and review your request. Note – you do not have to have a blog that is specific to stationery or reviews in general – we love diversity.
Exaclair distributes several lines of products: Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Quo Vadis, Exacompta, Brause, J. Herbin, G. Lalo and Decopatch. Note that Exaclair is the American distributor of these products and does not have access to products that they do not import. If you want to see what all they carry, you can review their catalogs here.
If you are interested, please leave a comment below with your blog address, country, and your top 3 choices of what you would like to review from any of the Exaclair brands. Please try and refrain from saying, “Anything” as we really would like to know which specific products you are most interested in.
02/05/11 – Quick update. This post has been closed for comments. We will be reviewing the blogs that were submitted, (Thank you everyone) and making contact as appropriate.

Hello,
I would be interested in reviewing any of the Clairefontaine drawing, sketching or watercolor papers.
Thank you,
David
Although I am a Mac based Software and hardware Web site, I do mention and talk about Pens and paper I’ve used from time to time. In fact, I just received a Tom Bihn Field Journal (new product) to review. So I’d love to get paper journals for further review.
Rhodia
Clairefontaine
Qua Vadis
Are my first choices. A5 sizes (Stapled) and journals with their own covers to be more specific.
I live in WI. USA
Thank you.
Wow, this would be fantastic. I used to do reviews for JetPens and loce reviewing products.
I wish someone would come bring all of these to Canada also… however, the products I’m specifically interested in are:
J Herbin inks (any of them, especially the authentic ink though)
G Lalo correspondence papers/envelopes
Brause nibs, (particularly interested in cito fein or rose)
I am in Canada, but I find most of my blog readers are in the USA.
Hi,
I’d be very interested in reviewing some Exaclair products.
Glass pens, J Herbin inks (black, blue, and red), calligraphy writing set.
I like the webbie, but I don’t know if you make bigger versions of this notebook. If you do, I’d like to review those. Also, I enjoy hardcover notebooks for their durability. If Rhodia or Clairefontaine have any, that would be great to review.
Although I’m a Canadian located for now in Taiwan, most of the readers of my blog are from the US.

Hiya,
My blog address is mslogica.com, my country is England, and my top 3 choices of brands to review would be Clairefontaine (I would love love LOVE to review the life.unplugged range. I already have access to the basics range because I’m half French and have generous relatives!), Exacompta and Quo Vadis.
From a selfish point of view, I’d love to receive some Rhodia products, but since I have easy access to them and already praise that brand a lot, it’s not of any particular benefit for you to send me any!
I hope you pick me anyway :-)
Hey Stephanie,
I would love to review any Clairefontaine wire or staple bound notebooks (I have only ever seen the Triomphe paper), a Habana, and/or a web notebook.
My blog is at http://blog.norskwoodshop.com
Thanks! Patrick
My blog is http://mrguilt.wordpress.com
My top 3:
1.Rhodia DotPad, any size, though I prefer A5.
2. Lined Quo Vadis Habana
3. J. Herbin Invisible Ink (to compare with Noodler’s)
I would honestly love to try out inks. I owe you guys a review of a Webbie, but my main hesitation is that I have an extremely limited ink supply to do so with. I’d also love the different notebooks, sizes, paper types, things like that. I am a stay at home mom, so I haven’t really got the cash to be getting all this stuff to stick on my blog – most of what I have to review is things I’ve picked up in the bargain bin that everyone already has seen 300 reviews of.
Regardless, I’m thrilled to see a company actively seeking input from the very people they are trying to sell to. It is so rarely done, I guess most folks already know everything there is to know about their consumers and like stagnation! Good job and great idea.
My blog deals mainly with writing sermons and pastoral advice to parishioners, but I would like to do some posts on what my writing process is all about. I easily see including some product reviews in this.
The products I’d like to review are standard “pen and paper” items (notebooks, pads, and inks). My top three choices are:
(1) A large blank Quo Vadis Habana (I’ve been using Rhodia Webbies, but am interested in comparing/contrasting with the Habana.)
(2) The Rhodia dot Webbie, if it ever comes to production or a small blank Rhodia Webbie (I’ve seen lots of reviews for the large ones, but not too many on the small).
(3) Darker J. Herbin inks. I’ve only tried Vert Empire, but would like to try something darker to see how it works for standard “go to” writing.
I’m new to fountain pens and fine paper products. I’d really like to try out some notebooks and inks. I’m going back to school so any school supply paper stuff like notepads could be a good opportunity. Thanks for the offer!
I’d love to do a big notebook comparison with your products:
Habana (blank in raspberry red)
Webbie (blank v 3.0)
Exacompta Basics Journal (Blank 81/4*5 1/2)
Clairefontaine Mlle No Magnetic Journal
(Lined 8 3/4×7)
My blog is http://ladydandelion.net and I am on the hunt for the perfect, fountainpenfriendly notebook. I’m based in Sweden, but have a big American audience. :)
Hope that I’ll got the chance to do this kind of BIG review and comparison. :)

http://coyoteunderground.blogspot.com/2006/02/monkeys-infinity-net-and-obsession-or.html
Paper, pencils, notebooks that could compete with Moleskine.
Thanks
A daily calendar other than the Journal 21 [I'm hunting a different format]
G Lalo stationary – I want to see what the fuss is about
Perle Noire ink as I haven’t used Herbin’s black and can compare it to Montblanc and Visconti blacks currently on my ink shelf
I would love to give my opinion as a fairly new user of fountain pens and good paper. My blog is gaining popularity having 760+ pageviews since I started it two months ago.
I’m a fairly good writer who knows how to spell and punctuate, and one of my best friends is a former copy editor for a large metropolitan newspaper. She’s always ready to proof my Facebook posts when I’m concerned about using too many commas:-)
I’m a US blogger who writes at http://creativeanomalies.com/blog. I’d like to review the Exacompta Basics sketchbook, Quo Vadis Scholar planner, and any size Rhodia pad holder. I’m a college student preparing to move into the world of work and graduate school, so I’m looking for the perfect academic materials as well as the right notebooks for my hobbies – life drawing and writing.
Christi, which specific products do you wish to review?
cmwebb – can you select 3 specific products?
David, can you take a peek at out catalogs and tell us exactly which products appeal the most to you that you would want to try?
Gwynne, which 3 of the Herbin inks appeal to you the most?
Oh this was so much fun last year. I became very addicted to Clairefontaine little red notebooks. But my heart belongs to the Orange and the Black, which I purchase in mind blogging quantities, though my selection is quite limited.
I have been eager to review a Webbie. They look so delish and probably want to make friends with all the other Orange and Black I already have.

I will admit that I don’t usually review products, yet I do tend to share my thoughts around different products with friends. I am by nature someone who loves to write letters by hand. I am a silkscreener. Products I would most like to review would be
Pens – I’m a fountain pen girl
Glass Pens
Their inks – for I find sometimes it’s tricky to find good inks for writing as well as drawing.
Sketching Journals and Art Pads.
Might I add that I am fair while being opinionated ~ good review material.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Hello! I am Andy Welfle, blogger at Woodclinched. Although I focus mostly on wooden pencils, I love many things — paper, pens, mechanical pencils, etc. I would be interested in reviewing some of your paper products, like the Life Unplugged duo or the Exafolio, (also, anything that has an unusual layout for special purposes) and of course, maybe a Rhodia wooden pencil. I had one from a different blog in 2007 ago, but I am pretty sure I used it up.
Thank you for this opportunity! I am a faithful Rhodia user and would love to see some other Exaclair brands.
…And what’s that big orange fountain pen sitting next to the bottle of ink? I couldn’t find it in the catalog. I would love to try that guy out with some nice, rhodia-orange or emerald colored ink. I do love to write in green ink.
I would LOVE to test drive some of these things for my blog. I have never been able to find these locally becuase they aren’t available in Canada and therefore not widely used. My readers tend to come from all over the US and Canada, mainly, and comprise of writers and creatives.
I am most interested in trying out the Webbie books, dot pads and Clairfontaine watercolour books. I prefer both really small and really large books for myself.
Hi Stephanie,
I’d love to review the quo vadis weekly planner and/or J. Herbin pens and inks.
xoxo
I’d be thrilled to review any Exaclair product, but a few of special interest include:
- any Clairefontaine notebooks, but preferably not spiral-bound ones
- Exacompta Basics journal or sketchbook
- J. Herbin glass dip pen
- J. Herbin inks, particularly green or brown inks
I’m in Canada and my blog address is: http://apenchantforpaper.blogspot.com/
Oh Andy…. That’s my Red Lamy Safari fountain pen. My very 1st fountain pen & I still love it. (I now have 6 of them) Unfortunately, Exaclair does not distribute them. (But I wish they did!) LOL
@Stephanie Haha, that’s cool — I was about to say that it looked like a Lamy fountain pen. I have a yellow one that’s really similar. It looks great in that picture, though.
Thanks!
-Andy
Hi Stephanie,
I’m from Palimpsest (London, UK). I’d love to review glass pens, blotting sheet pads or blotter, the Authentic Ink and J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir.
Cheers!
Lito
I would love to test some of these products. There is only one retailer of Clairefontaine here in Chile, and they don’t have any of the notebooks (just some artist paper pads).
I’d love to try Rhodia (blank webbie) and J. Herbin inks (sp. Rouge Borgogne).
My blog: http://365drawings.wordpress.com
Stephanie – please do count me in! I’d love to demo products!
We and tie off over phone/email.
xoxoxo

I am especially interested in the Rhodia dot pad, since I typically take notes and make lists and do just about everything but journal on graph paper.
I don’t do much sketching anymore (just graph paper doodles!) and I keep a near-daily journal – at least, 3 times/week – , so I do a lot of writing on lined paper.
So, Top 3 – Rhodia stapled notebooks (any size), dot pad, and any Clairefontaine lined journal.
Hi Stephanie,
Sorry for not being more specific. I would love to try out any of the…
Graf it Sketch pads
Aquarelle Fontaine Watercolor pads
Any of the Clairefontaine Spiral Collection Drawing pads, Sketch pads or Watercolor pads. (pg 10 of the Clairefontaine catalog)
…and because I’m just a big kid at heart, I’d like to try out the J. Herbin Invisible Ink (to remind me of all the cool spy toys that were out when I was a kid in the 60′s :)
Thank you!
Well, phooey. I suppose I’ll make a better impression if I follow your instructions, huh?
My country is Texas (Fifth generation. Can you tell?)
The products I’d most like to try out are Herbin inks, the Rhodia dot pad, and Clairefontaine drawing pads.

Hey, I run my own blog at manifolddestiny.wordpress.com and also write for Gear Patrol where I profiled the Webbie last month: http://gearpatrol.com/blog/2010/09/15/rhodia-webbie-notebook/ I’d love to do a hands-on follow-up.
I’d also enjoy reviewing any of the J. Herbin inks and whatever notebook Rhodia or Clairefontaine has that is most comparable to Field Notes brand. Sortof a head-to-head of sorts.
Looking forward to it!

Hello,
Living in Australia, fountain pen ink and good paper are fairly difficult to find. There are a couple of bookshops which have a small range of product from the one Australian online supplier but they are yet to take off. Consequently, I order most of my ink and paper online and rely heavily on reviews in blogs, so I have recently started doing some reviews of my own (it’s only right that I give as much as I take!)
Products I would like to review:
J. Herbin fountain pen inks
Clairefontaine notebooks, pads, loose leaf etc… (including Rhodia) Basically anything that is or can be used for copious amounts of writing – as against drawing, which I could not do to save my life!
As a fiction writer, I use colour to inspire me as well as to organise – I currently have 28 fountain pens inked with different colours (many Herbin, but not all) and I will use them all at least a couple of times each week. I am always looking for new colours and new form factors of Clairefontaine bright white paper, and pens, to use them on!
I would be beside myself with glee to have more Exaclair pass across my path that I could burble enthusiastically about– journals, stationery, and to a lesser extent inks are all in my line of interest, and sadly hard to get ahold of locally.
I am in Australia – but my blog has followers world wide.
I would love to review:
- J Herbin inks
- dot pads
- any sketchpad/watercolour journal that will stand up t mixed media treatment.
Dirck, where are you from and which products are you interested in?
Hi Stephanie! I’d like to review the following:
- Rhodia Webbie 3.0 (to compare with the 2.0)
- Clairefontaine TwinBook
- J. Herbin Vert Pré
Thanks!
~Clem/The Archer of Rants of the Archer blog
What a great idea. I would be interested in reviewing the A5 ruled and blank Webbies. I’m a fountain pen newbie and am starting to collect pens and determining what notebooks work well with them.
I’d also be interested in trying out some of the J Herbin ink, particularly the 1670 Anniversary edition.
Thanks for your consideration!
Oh, and I’m in Kentucky.
three pick! :)
- hard cover clairefonataine blank book (preferably in the largest size, 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 I think)
- wirebound multiple subject notebooks (also in the largest size) I haven’t seen these in any of the stores that sell other products and they look cool!
- the spiral graphic flow in the largest size. this one also seems like a rare drop in stores
I mention the Rhodia and Clairefontaine items on my blog. I’d be happy to review rhodia ruled pads or any other ruled, dot, grid writing paper.
Sitting here in Southwestern USA (http://daydreamerswelcome.blogspot.com/) and thinking about all your lovely products.
1. Ink – I’ve tried a sample of the 1670 and love how it looks. I’d love to try more. Greens and browns and darker reds.
2. Notebooks. Smaller than A4 but not the tiny Rhodia pads. A5? Lined or blank.
3. Sketch books. I’ve not tried any of them, so whatever you have that would hold up with multimedia for an art journal.
I’d love to review a webbie (I haven’t been able to find them in my area). Herbin inks would be well considered at The Well-Appinted Desk too. Thanks!
Ana, what country are you located in and whet is your blog address?
Zeus, what country are you in?
Passion – what country are you in?
I have fallen behind with blogging and this would be wonderful incentive to post some reviews and get back on track. I’ve begun art journaling with several of the kids I work with, so my pick of 3 would be:
– Webbie blank in black, v3
– Habana blank in green
– Aquarelle Fontaine Watercolor pad
I love all the products I’ve tried so far. Dot Pads are now my go to for letters. Thanks so much for the offer.

Hi Stephanie. I’d love to review some of these products!
My blog address is http://thepen-guin.blogspot.com
I’m in the US.
I’d love to review:
-J. Herbin ink. I’d love to try the 1670 anniversary or Vert Olive.
-Clairefontaine drawing, sketch or graf it pad.
-Rhodia mouse pad.
Country: USA.
I’m a moleskine and rotring fountain pen user, so I’d love to take a look at
Rhodia pads and J. Herbin ink.
For the 3rd item, I like to use sealing wax, so I’d love to try their best seller.
Thanks!
J Herbin cartridge ink.
Clairfontaine Calligraphy pad.
Clairfontaine clothbound blank book.

Thanks for the tip Biffybeans!
Pe2dave
So yes please, if I’m what you’re looking for
I would like to review these Clairefontaine products:
Roadbook
Life Unplugged in the same size as the Roadbook
any French Ruled notebook or pad
How did you know I was just poring over the Exaclair catalog? Spooky, that’s what it is.
I’m always looking for ways to keep excellent paper on hand for everyday use: it’s why I carry a No 11 Rhodia pad with me just about everywhere. But if I had to pick three (and only three! sigh)
* Classic Rhodia staplebound notebooks. Boring, perhaps, but I always have a notebook in progress at work, just to capture project information, meeting notes, etc.. I recently picked up a planner-cover that looks like it would hold four of these (with some trimming to make the A4 cover fit in a letter-size sleeve.)
* Or maybe the 4-color book for the same purpose. Some way of being able to divide (and find!) notes for different projects is a must.
* I’ve part of a written- and typed-letter exchange, which means I’m on yhr hunt for stationery that’s both pen-friendly, and not girly. I’m intrigued by the G. Lalo products: simple writing paper that’s not embossed or flowered and just meant for simple writing.
Of course, if I really could have my way with Exaclair, I think the Rhodia floor display would look great in my living room. :-D
I’ll be glad to; I’ve written a review you’ve included here before. Although my blog is about teaching writing, I’d be particularly interested in reviewing Exaclair products useful for journaling, because my college students do a great deal of it, and many are as choosy about their tools as I am!
Duh. There’s my blog’s address. Sorry!
I am just starting out with blogging. However, I plan on reviewing fountain pen products on the blog.
Three Exaclair products that I do not yet own that I would like to review: Rouge Hermatite, a Webbie, and a Clairefontaine roadbook.
Thank You for the opportunity!
I forgot to leave my country: USA
Blog: http://etoyocslwoh.blogspot.com/
I’d sure like to review some Exaclair products. My site is not technically a blog, in fact I have two sites, one is a “webzine” and the other a more conventional web site. Here are links:
webzine: http://jehubbard.com/hon30lines/index.htm
web site about my fountain pens: http://jehubbard.com/hobbies/fountain_pens.htm
If you choose me, I would like to review J. Herbin inks,
Rhodia webbies, and
Exacompta journals.
FYI, I currently use a Rhodia webbie as my daily journal.
I used to run a pen and ink review blog, but that felt way too constraining for me, so now I’m just trying to run an all around blog. http://greenlineblogs.blogspot.com/
Every Wednesday, I’d like to do some kind of art supply or pen or ink review. So, glancing through your catalog, I found a few things I’d be ecstatic to try:
The Webbie, J. Herbin Glass Dip pens or Goose Quills, any inks, or the “Nostalgie” notebooks, preferably graph and “Iron Gate” or “Quilt” pattern.
Honestly, I’d be thrilled to review any of your top-notch products. Anything to help get this blog rolling, (hopefully!).
Thanks.
ACK! I forgot to say that my I live in the US (Maryland), but you can find that on my blog. My apologies.
Hi Stephanie,
Blog: http://laoriginaltec.blogspot.com/
Country: USA
The products I would like to review are
-Anything from the Traditional Writing Instruments
-J.Herbin Inks
-G. Lalo stationary
Hello,
I love Clairefontaine notebooks and have been using them with all my creative writing projects for the last five or so years. I’d be interested in reviewing any Clairfontaine, Rhodia, or Excompta products.
Thanks for the quality writing tools!
Nancy
late on this, but i LOVE planners (and have reviewed some for karen in the past) and would be happy to do more reviews of any weekly or monthly planners! i also love midsized graph paper or lined notebooks and enjoy clairefontaine paper and bright colors.
my blog often features tons of lists, which means lots of notebook and paper shots (check out the ‘organize’ page for lots of exaclair shots!).
oh, and i’m in NC!
Hi there,
My blog is new, so perhaps that puts a red flag on it right away – I can imagine you’d want more established bloggers to review your products, but I’ll try my luck anyway.
Also, I currently live in Tbilisi, Georgia (although I’m originally from Canada) however, I do often travel to Germany and have a mailing address there. If the fact that I have a German mailing address and a new blog is okay, then I’d be delighted to review one or more of the following products:
1. Rhodia Webnotebooks
2. Clairefontaine Life un.plugged Roadbook
3. Classic Clairfontaine Clothbound/Hardcover/Twinbook
4. Any Quo Vadis esp Habanas
5. G. Lalo bordered packs or any other stationery
Thanks, AK.
My blog name: Winterstorming (arhianrad.blogspot.com)
Country: USA (Pittsburgh, PA)
Top 3 things to review:
1. J. Herbin’s scented inks
2. Brause Rose and Steno calligraphy nibs
3. Rhodia Webnotebooks A5
I write a perfume blog, but have been a fountain pen user and Herbin’s fan for a long time. I am also a calligrapher and random doodler, and am always looking for the perfect journal to carry around–one that would preferably handle fountain pen ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and the occasional wild oil pasteling spree. I really haven’t found one that’ll do ALL that media perfectly, although I’ve been reasonable happy with my Moleskine watercolor journal lately (it takes fountain pen ink smoothly and is not half-bad with the colored pencil). I do use a lot of G. Lalo for written correspondence, but I haven’t used any Clairefontaine or Rhodia products.
Anyway, back to the real crux of this comment: I would love, love LOVE love LOVE to review the Herbins scented inks. I have always been somewhat preoccupied with finding a ‘good’ scented ink, but I haven’t gotten my hands on the Herbins scented inks yet. I know I’m late to the party, but I would love to review these inks–particularly with regards to the persistence and quality of their scent. As for the calligraphy nibs, I’m always looking for nice, flexible, and graceful nibs for copperplate work.
Thank you!

My wife and I recently started our blog. It’s about pencil wraps, pens, pencils, paper, and other stuff that goes on in day to day life.
Products we’d like to review are:
1. Clairefontaine French Ruled notebooks (any size)
2. Brause Calligraphy and Writing Set
3. Rhodia Dot Pad (any size)
Embarrassingly enough, I had to change my blog location (just starting off after all). It can actually be found at http://etoyocs-howl.blogspot.com/
Sorry about that.
Still in USA
Still interested in Rouge Hematite, The smaller Webbie, or the Clairefontaine roadbook. But honestly, I would be happy to review anything.
I would like to review Quo Vadis products, specifically the lined notebooks so I can compare its superiority with the Moleskine, and Rhodia Webnotebook.
Sincerely,
Bert Oser

Hello!
I am a new contributor to penaddict.com… and I would love to review some of your products (pretty please?). (: I’m from the USA.
I am particular interested in reviewing J. Herbin Inks (1670!), Rhodia/ Quo Vadis planners, and G. Lalo correspondence cards/ stationery.
Thanks!
I am interested in reviewing

I’ve recent purchased a few Moleskines and many pens from JetPens – I haven’t received them yet, but I plan to write a review. After I tweeted about my moleskine purchase, some people recommended me to consider Rhodia in the future. And, I think this is a perfect opportunity for me!
The products I would like to review are:
- Rhodia Webbies A5 Ruled Orange (Or any other Webbie)
- Rhodia Dot Pad 3 3/8” x 4 3/4”
- Rhodia Head Stapled Pads N°12 (Or any other similar size)
Although I’m in Canada, my blog is written in Korean.
My name is Ian, and I am a staff writer for Techware Labs, a fairly big PC hardware site. We do mostly PC hardware and consumer electronics, but I really enjoy fountain pens and have since discovered Rhodia pads when Target picked them up for back-to-school season. I bought out the inventories of the nearest three Targets when they put their school supplies on clearance, and while I was at it I got just about as much Banana Paper as Rhodia paper. I contribute to Fountain Pen Network in my spare time (using an alias that will not be shared here) as well as a couple of other similar fora on other similar hobbies, where I try to be insightful, educational, helpful, and interesting.
I can’t promise that anything will get onto the Techware homepage, but if you’re interested, I’ll talk to our editors and see if they don’t mind me turning one of my editorials into a review of your kit.
I would dearly love a Rhodia academic planner (the 6×9 one if you please), but since the local bookstores (which sell Quo Vadis, my previous favorite before I discovered Moleskine’s planners) can’t order Rhodia products, I am doing without.
I would also enjoy the Rhodia treasure box (as 25 pencils for $45 means I’ll be sticking to my clearance-sale stockpile of Faber-Castells otherwise)
While I am tempted to ask for a webnotebook or dotpad, I should probably round out my request with a bottle of bleu prevenche (13) ink – it seems to be the sort of intense turquoise that recalls the seas of the Florida keys and which I’ve preferred for its simultaneous legibility and distinctiveness.
I once worked with the Clairfontaine Calligraphy pad and loved it. Can’t find it here in Canada, so would appreciate working on another. I am an artist/calligrapher and enjoy the historically accurate products like the J. Herbin inks: the Authentic Ink and the 1670 Anniversary Ink if possible.
I would love to Review a Rhodia No 38 pad, A Quo Vadis Habana and the Clairefountaine Life Unplugged cahiers.

Rhodia Webnotebook in the larger size
Rhodia Pocket Notebooks
Rhodia pencils
My blog focuses on art journaling as well as written journaling and I’m introducing a series of product reviews starting in January. It would be great to review something that the writers who follow me would be interested in and perhaps introduce the art journalers to a new product
Hello, I would like to review:
The Rhodia Webnotebook in black
The J.Herbin 1670 Ink
