There are quite good quality paper notebooks in Europe, these are the ones I know:

Rhodia/Clairefontaine/Oxford - French, with one of the best quality paper I know. Not very expensive, Rhodia is the most expensive one, and Oxford the cheapest, often used at schools.

Miquelrius - Spanish, quite good paper, quite good price

Moleskine - Italian, the most expensive of the lot, and very famous, its paper quality is not good if you use fountain pens

Leuchtturm - German, similar to Moleskine and in several product lines, quite good quality paper.

Dingbats - British, very good paper, and they give a percentage of what they earn to projects related to nature protection. A bit cheaper than Moleskine and Leuchturm

Online - Another german brand, decent paper. In the Rhodia/clairefontaine price range

Do you know any other notebook brands from Europe? would like to try some more (bit crazy about stationery)

Leuchtturm is my go to notebook. S tier.

I am trying a flexible B6, and this is a size I really like and will stick with. Had to go for one with dots instead of grid, however. I also wish they made the grid in nice colours as the dots and lines, but black will do.

I like Moleskine and Leuchtturm

I use...

  • Hardbound sketchbooks from Royal Talens, a Dutch company, their brand is called 'Art Creation'. They come in sizes ranging from A7 to A4 (and square), with smooth thicker paper (120gsm, it's great for fountain pen and, well, for sketching and light watercolors too). They're re not expensive.
  • Pocket (A7) spiral notebooks Clairefontaine. They're great for writing even with a fountain pen and, here in France at least, one can find them absolutely everywhere for a reasonable price ;)
