Premium notebook manufacturing brand
A direct-to-consumer brand that designs and makes durable, premium notebooks and leather goods, sold online as an alternative to flimsy mass-market notebooks.
The idea, in plain language
A direct-to-consumer brand that designs and makes durable premium notebooks and leather goods as an alternative to flimsy mass-market notebooks. Money is made by selling the notebooks online at a markup over production cost. The customer is buyers willing to pay more for quality and aesthetics. Starting requires sourcing leather and binding, setting up production (the founder appears to do it himself), building an online storefront, and handling shipping. The episode reports the side hustle grew to about $8,000 a month in revenue; specific margins, prices and startup cost are not given.
Where the sources agree
- Started after frustration with 'genuine leather' notebooks falling apart
