MD PRODUCT A5 Cream Paper Cover
The MD PRODUCT A5 Cream Paper Cover protects a compatible MD notebook with a lightweight and flexible layer of Cordoba paper. It helps guard the outer covers against everyday scuffs and light creasing while preserving the notebook’s natural handling and understated appearance.
A lightweight cover for everyday use
Slide the front and back covers of the notebook into the internal sleeves to create a simple and secure fit. Unlike the Paper Hard version, this model has no rigid inner structure. The notebook therefore retains its original flexibility and continues to open naturally when placed on a desk.
The natural cream colour complements the warm tone of MD PAPER and the restrained design of the MD PRODUCT collection. It is ideal for writers, students and journal users who want practical protection for commuting, study or travel without adding the weight and bulk of a hard cover.
Cordoba paper and the way it ages
The cover is made from Cordoba paper, a specialist paper created to reproduce the soft, supple and slightly velvety feel associated with leather. It contains no leather, yet its tactile surface gives the notebook a warm and comfortable character while remaining faithful to the paper-centred identity of MD PRODUCT.
Cordoba paper is designed to develop character through use. Regular handling, transport and repeated opening may create fine marks, creases and subtle changes across the surface. These signs are not necessarily faults; they form part of the material’s natural appearance and allow every cover to become more individual over time. The paper can even be deliberately crumpled to create a stronger aged texture.
Despite its low weight and flexible construction, the material is durable and resistant to tearing during repeated use. In this version, the paper itself forms the cover without wrapping a rigid board. The result protects the notebook while maintaining its portability, soft handling and ability to adapt naturally to the hand and writing surface.
Compatibility with MD A5 notebooks
This cover is designed for the standard A5 format and is compatible with MD Notebook A5, MD Notebook Cotton A5, MD Notebook Thick A5, MD Notebook Diary A5 and MD Notebook Diary Thin A5. The notebook is sold separately.
Pair it with the MD PRODUCT A5 Blank Notebook for unrestricted writing and drawing, or choose the MD PRODUCT Notebook A5 Grid when you prefer a discreet guide for notes, diagrams and planning.
This item is made for the conventional A5 format. MD Notebook A5 Square and MD Notebook A5 1 Day 1 Page have different dimensions and thicknesses and therefore require their own dedicated covers.

Frequently asked questions
Is a notebook included? No. The cover is supplied separately so that it can be paired with your preferred compatible MD A5 notebook.
Is this a hard cover? No. This item is the lightweight and flexible Paper version. The Paper Hard model contains a firm internal structure and is considerably heavier.
Do marks mean that the Cordoba paper is damaged? Fine handling marks, light creases and changes in the surface are part of the material’s natural character and allow each cover to develop its own appearance.
Brand history and philosophy
The origins of MD PAPER date back to the 1960s, when the development of a paper focused on writing pleasure began. With the same attention to materials, MD PRODUCT selected Cordoba paper for a cover that preserves the warmth and tactile nature of paper while protecting the notebook without hiding its lightness or natural flexibility.
MD PRODUCT sees writing as a pause that helps people organise their thoughts and listen to their own ideas. The brand calls this valuable time for reflection Yohaku: a moment in which thoughts are arranged and personal sensibility can be expressed honestly. Unnecessary elements are removed so that the paper, the hand and the writing instrument remain at the centre of the experience.
“A lightweight cover protects the pages without standing between the hand, the notebook and the idea.”
De papel pero no es frágil.
No tenía claro si comprar esta cubierta, o la de piel de cabra. <br /> Me he decido por la más económica y creo que he acertado. <br /> No parece de papel. Tiene buen tacto, y hace su función perfectamente.
