Part of the officially licensed Around the World in Eighty Days: The Victorian Age of Travel journal collection, the Breakfast & Tea Notebook is inspired by Jules Verne’s celebrated novel and a historic 1888 edition preserved in the British Library.
The novel follows Phileas Fogg’s extraordinary journey around the world by railway and steamship, capturing a Victorian age transformed by travel, technology and global connection. The Breakfast & Tea design brings this story into everyday life through the familiar rituals that accompany a journey.
Made with specially selected 100gsm writing paper, this compact notebook is designed for recording plans, ideas and discoveries. More than decorative stationery, it transforms a specific literary treasure from the British Library into a practical and giftable contemporary product.
Ideal for museum shops, bookstores, travel destinations and independent gift retailers.
