Original. Practical. Historical.
Take note.

We won’t use this space to recount the holy hell of creating these PlaidPads (masochists, visit here), but the screaming is over and the baby is beautiful.

These limited-edition linoleum block-printed moleskine notebooks—created by the very talented Amy at Papa Studios, are ready for your deepest philosophical musings, next-big-thing concepts or creative brainstorms. Who knows what sparks they’ll ignite.

It’s time you had something in common with Picasso, Hemingway and Van Gogh and other brilliant artists, authors and geniuses. They carried Moleskines (pronounced mol-a-skeen'-a, in case you’re curious) and now, you can, too.

Our pad is bound with a 'moleskine' cover featuring a custom Plaid design. 192 acid-free pages are thread-bound with an expandable inner note-holder crafted from sturdy cardboard and cloth. Each book is hand printed with treebark brown with teal “plaid” pattern. 5 1/8” x 8 1/4” printed in a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered pieces. (We may produce other sketchpads - but never this artwork again. Ever. Swear.)

Plaid Bags

Our first ever House of Plaid product is here. It's a Plaid messenger bag, hand crafted by the guys at Bagaboo.

This is a nice bag. Built like a real deal messenger bag, it's made of tough cordura nylon, put together individually, by hand, in Hungary. Duraflex buckles, seatbelt webbing for the shoulder strap, YKK zippers and 'cosmolon' velcro. Tough materials selected by a former bike messenger in Budapest. For real.

The outside of the bag features a 2/3 plaid pattern (kind of feels like heavy duty wool), and 1/3 cordura nylon.

The main bin is big enough for a MacBook, and loads and loads of other goodies. There are also three smaller pockets, perfect for separating your cords, camera, phone, sketchbook, etc. Two outer zippered pockets offer additional storage. Strap is adjustable, and includes a tough shoulder guard with loops and places to strap a walkie, cell phone, or whatever. Bottom of the bag includes a reflective stripe.

This is a limited edition piece - only 30 bags have been made for sale. Each bag comes with an official Plaid numbered hang tag (1/30, 2/30, 3/30, etc). Once they sell out, we'll never make them again.

We're offering these bags at OUR COST. We're not making a dime on them. Our goal is to continue to sustain House of Plaid, and offer original design goods, while supporting independent manufacturers and artists. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
