The TRAVELER'S notebook 20th Anniversary Card Size is the edition released in 2026 to mark twenty years of TRAVELER'S COMPANY. It is the smallest notebook in the range, even more compact than the Passport, designed to carry the essentials and nothing more. Here is everything you need to know.
A true pocket size
The Card Size measures just under 11.5 cm by 7.5 cm, roughly the size of a card. It is the smallest TRAVELER'S notebook ever released. It slips into a wallet, a shirt pocket or a small pouch, and comes out in a second to jot down an idea, an address or a list. Where the Passport is already compact, the Card Size takes minimalism even further.
An anniversary edition
This size was created in 2026 to celebrate twenty years of the TRAVELER'S notebook. True to the spirit of the brand, it keeps the leather cover that develops a patina over time and the refill system, but in a miniature format. It is both a nod to the notebook's history and a genuine novelty for anyone looking for the most portable size possible.
What the set includes
The Card Size set brings together everything you need to get started right away: the leather cover, Card Size refills, a waxed cotton case, a kraft paper folder, two elastic bands plus a spare central elastic band, and a cotton protective bag. Everything is ready to use, just like a Starter Kit, but in a pocket version.
Card Size, Passport or Regular?
To compare the three sizes: the Regular stands about 22 cm tall, the Passport about 13.5 cm, and the Card Size comes in under 11.5 cm. The Regular is made for writing and drawing, the Passport for travelling light, and the Card Size for the bare essentials, when you only want to carry a very small notebook. Many users adopt it alongside a Regular or a Passport rather than as a replacement.
How to use it every day
The Card Size excels at quick notes: a shopping list, an idea you don't want to forget, a contact's details, a few words while waiting for the train. Some use it as a permanent pocket notebook, others as a minimalist travel journal. Like every TRAVELER'S notebook, it develops a patina and soon becomes a small personal object you grow attached to.
Who is it for?
The Card Size is for those who want a truly minimalist notebook, always on hand, alongside their main notebook. It is also a lovely way into the world of the TRAVELER'S notebook, and an original gift idea for anyone fond of Japanese stationery.
What can you write in it?
Despite its small size, the Card Size lends itself to many uses: shopping and to-do lists, reading ideas, quotations, daily expenses, vocabulary from a language you are learning, or simply passing thoughts. Some turn it into a minimalist gratitude journal, one line a day, others into an address book or a tasting notebook. Its limited space becomes an asset: you get straight to the point.
Card Size and pen
Being slim, the Card Size pairs well with a compact pen, such as a small ballpoint or a pocket mechanical pencil. You can also slip in a thin pocket sleeve to keep a card or a ticket with the notebook. It is the lightest possible set so you are never caught unprepared.
