Pen Clip
From Charles & Marie; home of always cool stuff:
"By now you should know that we are suckers for all things smart and helpful and this is another prime example! Such a smart contraption – and so simple! It's a clip that you can attach to pretty much any notebook or folder or diary of your choice and once done so, you can attach your writing utensil of choice to it.
It is such a simple idea, but so amazingly clever! .."










I have used one of these for the past year with my Moleskine pocket notebook (the short one). Next to my Parker pen it's the best accessory for a Moleskine notebook. It pulls a little on the notebook's spine, but it's worth the convenience of having the pen and notebook securely together for ease of use.

This product is exactly what I've been looking for for years. After finally discovering them online through authentics.de it took another few months for me to find a domestic retailer of the pen clip. After learning that Charles and Marie were selling the pen clip I order quite a few. It took almost a month for them to arrive due to a backorder, but I finally received them yesterday and they are every bit as brilliant as I had hoped.

But will the notebook still be able to lie flat on a table with the pen clip attached? I've seen many attach-a-pen solutions, but all of them have to be removed from the book before writing. That's not really convenient.

Hi. I'm living in Israel, and when I saw this product, inmediatly I wanted to order it. But, here is the problem, the cost of the pen clip is very affordable, it's just $ 16 (11 euros). No problem with that. But when I proceed the checkout, here is the surprise : the shipping cost (as cheap as possible) was 29.90 euros !!!!. Totally abusurd.
Come on, be serious! Put the thing on an envelope and send it by certified post.
Thanks and sorry, because I'm quite upset

I found both sizes of these at pencilsthings.com under "Clips & Pulls". Selection of chrome or matte finish. Not inexpensive, but they look worth the cost if you are devoted to carrying your notebook.
