In 1912, French engineer Georges Claude installed the world’s first neon sign above a barbershop in Paris. His vibrant, tubular lights soon adorned the storefronts of small businesses around the world and symbolized the entrepreneurial drive that formed the backbone of their communities. 

This Slate notebook features a neon red and blue design inspired by the Blackwing 6, our tribute to independent businesses and their entrepreneurial spirit. Each notebook includes 160 pages of high-quality, 100GSM dot-grid paper, a durable dual-sewn binding, and our signature matte hardcover. It also has a built-in pencil holster that comes loaded with a limited edition Blackwing 6 pencil.
