Episode 189: Enon Avital of Dapper Notes! Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

Dapper Notes – Enon Avital’s unique, beautiful notebooks covered in lush paper and fabric and filled with excellent paper – occupy a special place in the notebook landscape. Brimming with color and texture, they elevate the pocket notebook to an art form, and the hand of their creator quite literally graces every book. Enon is that creator, and we had a lovely time learning why he started producing beautiful books, the pleasure he takes in sharing the process, and the care he takes in creating objects that are inherently unexpected.
