What it is The Rhodia stapled pad — the orange (or black) notepad that has been on French desks since 1934. The paper 80gsm Clairefontaine vellum paper, brilliant white and exceptionally smooth. Stapled at the head into a scored, coated card cover that folds fully back and stays there. Microperforated so sheets tear off cleanly along a straight edge. Who it's for Everyone, honestly — but especially fountain pen users, who buy these by the handful because the paper doesn't feather or bleed. Why we stock it It's the best cheap notepad in the world and we will happily argue about it. The paper is far better than the price suggests.
