Assorted coloured elastic cord wrapped around cardboard holders labeled with numbers to represent colour of cord, laying on a black quilting mat.

After making hundreds of traveller's notebooks over the years, I've found this particular 2mm shock cord offers the best balance of stretch, durability, and ease of restringing. It holds inserts securely without feeling overly stiff, ties cleanly, and is now the elastic I trust for every notebook I make.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this to restring a Traveller's Notebook?

Yes. This is the same elastic used in every Rowsome Leather notebook and is suitable for replacing worn notebook elastics or building your own system.

This elastic is also compatible with most Midori-style, Traveler's Company–style, and other refillable notebook systems using 2mm elastic.

How much elastic do I need?

Most Traveller's Notebook covers require only a few metres depending on size and stringing method. If you're unsure, my stringing guide will help you determine the correct length.

Is this the same elastic used in Rowsome Leather notebooks?

Yes. I spent a lot of time searching for the best quality elastic for my products, and now I can share it with you!
