Silvine Notebook

Silvine is an iconic British stationery brand with a history dating back to 1837 when William Sinclair established his first printing company in Wetherby, West Yorkshire. The brand is best known for its classic red exercise books, which became a staple for generations of schoolchildren across the United Kingdom and the British Empire.

Today, Silvine products continue to be manufactured at the Sinclairs factory in Otley, West Yorkshire. The brand prides itself on its 'British Made' heritage, utilizing traditional machinery alongside modern automation. The paper used in their premium 'Originals' range is often sourced from the historic James Cropper Mill in Kendal, further cementing the product's domestic manufacturing roots. The company remains a family-owned business, currently managed by the sixth generation of the Sinclair family.
