Inspira
stationery is a premium brand from the beautiful country of Indonesia. Many
beautiful things come from Indonesia but I must admit that until I found Inspira
I had no idea beautiful stationery was one of them.Their design is Italian.
The
Inspira company is located in East Java and falls under Tjiwi Kimia which has
been producing paper products since it was established in 1972. Their paper manufacturing encompasses a wide
variety of paper and stationery products, such as fine paper which their
notebooks are made of, paper useful for the office, such as photocopy paper,
envelopes and exercise books and gift wrapping paper. The variety is
astounding. In addition, they also focus on sustainability regarding the
environment but also regarding their community and that alone would make
Inspira stationery an inspiration. You

Their
stationery is highly inspiring with various designs and colors. They have
notebooks, diaries, agendas, and recycled natural looking products. I am
interested in all of them and for this article I focused on their notebooks. They
have notebooks that come in different sizes, such as A5 and A6. Some of the
notebooks have excellent quotes on them. I have three notebooks from Inspira
and all three of them are in the A5 size and have the finest paper for writing.
Two
of the notebooks I have are from the ‘Botanical’ line which has flowery and
somewhat artistic designs on them. One is a spiral notebook with a fresh nature
green color and violet. When you open the notebook, there is a cute drawing on
the inside as well which gives a happy tone to the notebook. The paper is of a
very good quality and when I wrote on it with my green pen it did not show any
bleedthrough. It stimulates to keep writing. It comes with a ribbon which keeps
the notebook together and which makes it also easy to stick in some loose
papers or notes. There are 70 sheets of paper in this spiral notebook. I found
that this notebook serves a very good purpose of taking study notes, for
instance, writing facts, which as you can see I did about Inspira itself.
The
other notebook is a hardbound one with a light green color and orange, in a
cute flowery design. The edges of the notebook are rounded and there is more
paper than in the spiral one. Since this notebook has more pages (96), it can
also serve as a study book for university for one of your favorite topics. For
me, personally, it will be used for personal journalling because of the
intimate feel of it. The paper quality and feel is the same as that of the
spiral notebook which is in one word: quality. This notebook also comes with a
ribbon.
The
third notebook has a recycled look when it comes to design. The outside cover
is brown but with very thin black lines on it. Also, the cover is very soft, it
bends practically when you need it but keeps the notebook perfectly together. One
of the novelties of this notebook is that exactly in the middle there is a
pocket divider in which you can put whatever small piece of paper you want.
That is why I think this would make a great travel journal. You can save your
receipts, small scraps of newspaper articles or whatever you want from your
trip. Because the notebook is flexible due to the soft cover, you can also glue
things in this notebook without being afraid the notebook won’t take it. The
cover lends itself to want to doodle and create on it. The paper has good
quality, with lines that are a bit darker distinguished than the other two. This
notebook has 64 pages.
All
of them lend themselves for different writing tools as well, whether it is
fountain pen, fineliner or a gelpen. No matter how beautiful I find these
notebooks, their surprising thing is first and foremost the paper quality.
The quality of the paper is so incredibly fine. In all three of the notebooks, I wrote without any effort and
the strange thing is that when you write as if things flow, you do get
inspired. You can find more information about Inspira stationery on http://www.inspira-stationery.com/.
