A Rather Splendid Notebook for Your Botanical Musings
We have, quite without meaning to, created something rather marvellous. Our Botany A5 notebook pairs gorgeous hand-drawn botanical illustrations inspired by landmark plant biology publications with paper so properly nice that your fountain pen will weep with joy. It opens completely flat, which is rather the point of a notebook, if you think about it.
Why Choose Our Botany Notebook
Beautifully Crafted by Hand in the UK: Each notebook is made with the sort of care that makes us feel faintly embarrassed at how much we care about stationery.
Fountain Pen Friendly Paper: 100 gsm paper that handles even the most ambitious ink without showing through. Utterly fetching, really.
Lies Flat When Open: Because nothing is more irritating than a notebook that springs shut mid-thought, rather like a very enthusiastic clam.
Space for Everything: 180 pages means room for sketches from botanical gardens, plant experiment notes, daily to do lists, or simply lovely thoughts you do not want to forget.
Product Details
Dimensions: A5 format, 21cm x 15cm, perfectly sized for thoughtful writing or a tote bag.
Pages: 180 pages of paper that makes writing feel like less of a chore.
Paper Weight: 100 gsm, fountain pen friendly and rather good for sketching.
Binding: Hardcover in a design that is fabulously made and delightfully stylish.
Made: Handmade in the UK with the sort of attention to detail that people actually notice.
Whether you are treating yourself or gift giving to someone who deserves something rather good, this notebook is quite the showstopper. Given that we make these by hand, do not dawdle.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
