https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6MNSSPGGBE Can writing simply be about feeling the moment, without the pressure of planning transitions? Whether accompanied by the wisps of steam from a hot mug, or amidst the swirling mists on a mountainside https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782046883_c2586e9b0b_b.jpg When we put pen to paper, it is a wish to ultimately pierce through the fog and dust of the world, to return to simplicity after shedding the tensions of daily life. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784430163_75c9994488_c.jpg You love the feel of leather, but the high price tag makes you anxious, afraid of accidental scratches on the surface. **With X17, you don't have to feel this way.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784430123_aed8971357_z.jpg Thick cowhide leather, with natural grain that isn't overly processed, even showing pores and scars. You will deeply feel its past life, a trace of existence in harmony with nature. **The journey of nurturing words,** **is like nurturing life,** **from nothing to something, thoughts reborn.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780986137_945c197959_c.jpg Following the earlier release of the X47 series, **{Carnet Select Stationery}** now introduces its sister brand - **X17 __Super Elastic Series__** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784177016_2556f9c2b9_z.jpg Compared to the professional, business-oriented X47, X17 leans towards a simple, casual aesthetic, making it a more fitting everyday companion for journal users. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780863492_12ce34bb09_o.jpg **Five specialized (inner page) sizes: __A7 / A6 / A5 / A5 Landscape / A4__** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780863522_64fcfdd5c3_o.jpg ■ Product Size Chart ■ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782654685_97dcb6779a_c.jpg __This listing is for the **A6 - Double Elastic**__ __Product Dimensions__: 10.0 x 14.8 x 2.2cm https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51797017872_4ee6b837c8_o.jpg △**A6-2_LT-20 (Matte Red)**△ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780859782_3dc0d01cc1_z.jpg __Not a vibrant hue, visually comfortable__ △**A6-2_LT-50 (Brandy)**△ __Leather is one piece, **seamless**__ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781921918_a93d2e2e00_z.jpg ☆**Showcases the leather grain beautifully; each piece has a unique pattern, with a rich texture and color.

The grain becomes more pronounced with age.**☆ △**Each journal includes a transparent pocket**△ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51787079223_8e1e8d460b_o.jpg ◆ **A6 Includes Transparent Pocket Style** ◆ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51787079238_56510f4bcf_n.jpg ▓ **Product Features** ▓ ★〖**Raw Cowhide**〗★ The edges are not deliberately finished with glue, allowing you to see the leather fiber structure. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782314634_3a70033230_o.jpg Elaborate surface treatments often mask the natural characteristics of leather; rather than being overly refined, X17 prioritizes a simple, practical approach, preferring to retain its natural essence. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781919353_bd4e3ac498_z.jpg ▲__ Belgian Vegetable-Tanned Leather__ __Characteristics__: Natural grain, 2-3mm thickness, matte finish, natural leather texture, soft to the touch. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780863472_f89898a4d1_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784430123_aed8971357_z.jpg ▲__ Italian Waxed Vegetable-Tanned Leather__ __Characteristics__: Special waxed waterproof layer, 1.5-2mm thickness, polished glossy finish, extremely fine pores, smooth texture. **(Image below) Other series products.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51563208452_1a2af5e57e_c.jpg The Italian glossy vegetable-tanned leather, colored under high temperature/pressure, shrinks during processing, resulting in a thinner profile, between 1.8-2.0mm. Minor surface blemishes or scratches are less noticeable. **__Nature's Natural Traces Interacting with the Elements__** When we touch leather products, do we realize they were once part of a living being? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781716981_77047d7e41_c.jpg Scratches from cows brushing against hedges, or scars from insect bites, are naturally preserved. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782680500_4a2c0e7d46_b.jpg While preserving the original marks of ink, it also reminds us to be grateful for the earth's nourishment, to maintain humility, and to cherish the leather items we hold. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782437939_74f03f2c65_c.jpg **Unprocessed, retaining leather grain and pores.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780862397_bd929038d7_z.jpg (Above) The A5 "Viewfinder" series; larger sizes better reveal unique neck grain patterns. **__Inner Surface Treatment of the Cover__** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51787440249_b3b37f4798.jpg **(Above) Inner surface of the X17 leather cover.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51787072928_3fb9037cae.jpg (Above) Inner surface of the X47 leather cover. ★Specially designed with front and back grooves on the inner side of the leather, allowing the notebook to close flatter and thinner. **__Robust Corners for Long-Lasting Protection__** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782437769_bf3f473247_c.jpg The longer you use it, even as the leather softens, the exterior remains firm and stylish. The non-collapsing corners, in particular, fully protect the inner pages from damage. ★〖**Overcoming Disarray, Assembling into Books**〗★ When using refillable notebooks, do you experience these annoyances: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51561079555_b0482b39a9_w.jpg ▪ Pages become damaged after multiple flips, requiring hole reinforcement stickers. ▪ The click-clack of binder rings can be distracting in quiet environments. ▪ Writing directly on the bound notebook is inconvenient due to the binder mechanism. ▪ Limited writing space as pages must be laid flat. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51564036516_f0523cb3a4_n.jpg Loose pages are meant to be assembled into a book; why not start with a "bound book"? X17 breaks free from the limitations of loose pages, adopting the concept of **assembly into a book**. You can arbitrarily categorize different themes, making it easier to organize secondary notes into a collection. Even those who prefer quick jotting won't have to worry about separated notes. ★〖**High-Tech X Elastic Band**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51786003477_e3ce03d7bd_z.jpg X17's elastic band differs from ordinary rubber. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781925593_3f0e7da379_o.jpg Drawing from Germany's vital automotive industry, it's made from high-tech rubber – the **same material used for hydraulic seals**. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781676366_90f2589bbd_z.jpg Exceptional **elasticity** and **tear resistance**, merging technology and humanistic design, creating a superior product. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782557460_bc81c13387_o.jpg ★〖**Patented Semi-Circular Notch**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780863547_d9bc6b90d6_o.jpg Securely fastens the inner pages to the outer cover, akin to bookbinding; https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51782314604_246349cda6_z.jpg Not only does the leather cover have a semi-circular notch, but the **inner pages do too**. This allows the entire notebook to lie flat for comfortable writing. **A semi-circular notch on the page edge also horizontally secures the contents.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784177011_0e475d1926.jpg ★〖**Flat Writing Without Removing Pages**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781925718_1760cb0bb0_c.jpg No need to remove inner pages, no break-in period required. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, you won't be bothered by the **ring binder mechanism**. From the moment you get it, you can write comfortably, as if on a hardcover book. ★〖**Hand-Bound Inner Pages**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51561087940_244d771c5f_o.jpg X17's leather books and inner pages have semi-circular indentations at the top and bottom. This special design cannot be assembled with large machinery; each book is individually secured by hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV1XsxGbhe0 ** P.S. We recommend using X17's specialized sizes. Using inner pages from other brands may not fit the cover or may even exceed its dimensions.** ★〖**Custom-Made MUNKEN Paper**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51564200063_29cf6bdb0c_z.jpg Germany, a leading nation in pen manufacturing, naturally has a high penetration rate of fountain pen use; without good paper to complement it, even a precious pen loses its luster. In developed countries like Europe, North America, and Japan, most books and advertisements use MUNKEN paper. The original producer of MUNKEN paper was Munkedal in Sweden, referred to as "MUNKEN" in the printing industry. X17, focusing on lightweight and portable products, strives for excellence by initiating its own specialized paper development project. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51564644679_6ddfba41f9_z.jpg The paper needs to **hold ink well**, **write smoothly**, **prevent bleeding**, **avoid slipping**, and **not scratch the surface**; instead of an overly bleached white, it adopts a **natural off-white** that is easier on the eyes. After testing over one hundred types of paper, X17's custom-made MUNKEN paper was born, featuring **low weight**, **high quality**, and **excellent ink retention**. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51564201233_0b4317cb55.jpg ► __**MUNKEN Characteristics**__: ❒ Delicate and smooth paper surface feel. ❒ Uncoated, with strong ink absorption. ❒ Free of chlorine and fluorescent brighteners; the paper color is an ancient, natural light beige. ❒ Low reflectivity, reducing eye strain during extended writing or reading. ❒ Slightly alkaline paper quality ensures long-term preservation without degradation. ❒ 30% lighter than ordinary paper, making it more portable. ❒ Made from chemical pulp, it is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. ★〖**Utilizing Every Inch of Space**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51786003027_7d32c605ef_o.jpg What makes X17's inner pages stand out from other brands is that the **inner pages and cover are almost the same size.** ◆◇ General notebook writing space ◇◆ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51787692995_f8c039f642_z.jpg ◆◇ Ring-bound refillable notebook writing space is even less ◇◆ ☆ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51794687322_078f244d49_z.jpg What makes X17's inner pages stand out from other brands is that the **inner pages and cover are almost the same size.** ☆**While X17 minimizes storage space,** **the number of writing lines on the inner pages actually increases.**☆ This fully embodies the minimalist craftsmanship of LESS IS MORE. ★〖**Rare Index Numbered Pages Within Interchangeable Inserts**〗★ It's easy to separate notebooks, but reassembling them can be difficult. For refillable, bound notebooks, how do you organize and categorize? X17, with its focus on systematic structure, has already anticipated this~ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51564943660_8e27bf9e21_z.jpg Regardless of the X17 size you use—A7, A6, or A5— each notebook contains 62 pages, optimized for usability. The page numbers at the bottom of each page facilitate future indexing and organization. ★〖**Perforated Inner Pages**〗★ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51579737666_65291f72e5_o.jpg Each inner page is perforated with a nearly invisible **hidden scoring line**, offering greater versatility for refillable notebooks. This is especially useful when organizing secondary notes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781800191_e75091190f.jpg The "words worth a thousand gold" we pursue often emerge in the most unexpected moments. Fleeting glimmers of inspiration are more worth cherishing than repetitive daily routines. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51780985862_ee6eb4e8ce_z.jpg Moonlight gently caresses the earth, the lake surface shimmers, recalling that summer day, when we barefoot danced away our youthful waltz. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51781800101_46d5a3ab37_c.jpg **X17's** passage of time transforms turbulent emotions into a serene landscape. Use pen and paper to savor life's turning points, letting words flow, until you meet a better version of yourself.
