The maker gives no ruling spacing, no fountain-pen claim and no weight on the page, and we have not tested the paper.
What is the Palau Soft Cover Wiro Notebook?
It is a large wire-bound notebook with a bold printed cover, made by a London stationery brand. The Completist says it was founded in January 2018 and is based in Peckham, London, and that its range is sold in 24 countries. The maker calls the Palau a tile-inspired summer print and pairs it with the brand’s printed pens. We read the maker’s product page and About page on November 5, 2026.
The notebook is a lined, soft-cover book rather than a hardcover journal. Palau is also the name of a pen and a daily planner in the brand’s range.

The wire runs along the left edge, so the cover folds right back behind the pages. The maker does not give the ruling spacing, a thickness, the coil diameter or the paper brand.
Our notebook sizes chart lists the standard formats. The Palau is wider and a little taller than A5, so an A5 cover or folder will not fit it.
What color is the print?
The maker’s words and its photo disagree, so check before you buy. The page text calls the print bright red and white, while the product photo shows blue and coral shapes on a cream ground in a tile pattern. We drew what the photo shows and say that our cover is by eye. The brass wire shows in the photo as a gold tone.
Does the wire binding lie flat?
Yes, per the maker, the brass wiro keeps it flat. A wire-bound book lets you fold the cover behind the page, which suits writing on a lap or a crowded desk. If lay-flat is the main need, our best lay-flat notebooks roundup compares other builds. We have not tested how the coil copes with a bag.
Who is the Palau Wiro Notebook for?
It suits people who plan and journal in a large book that stays open, because it has 160 lined pages and a binding that lies flat.
Journaling and planning: 160 lined pages of 115 gsm recycled paper, with the wire keeping the page flat.
Skip it if you want a pocket notebook or a stated fountain-pen claim: it is 178 × 215 mm and the maker makes no ink claim. For dot grid choices, see our guide to notebooks for bullet journaling.
What does it cost, and where is it made?
It was £20 (about US$26) at the maker’s shop on November 5, 2026, which is our $$$ band ($20 to $75). The Completist says it ships from the UK Monday to Friday and accepts returns within 28 days of delivery, with the buyer paying return shipping. It adds that it covers duties on orders to the USA. We did not check other sellers, and prices change.
It is made in the UK per the maker, though the page does not say where. The same maker’s Palau Pen is sold under the same name, and its Laurel Weekly Planner is the brand’s best-selling weekly planner.
