Description The Paperblanks New Romantics Velvet Cape Journal in the Mini size is 3.75 x 5.5 inches and Smyth Sewn for durability. It has 176 lined pages of acid-free ivory 85 gsm paper, includes a memento pouch and ribbon marker, and features an elastic band closure. The New Romantics covers are ideal for anyone who admired the subculture's wholehearted embrace of swishing velvet capes, bold eyeliner and rebellious poses. The movement began in London nightclubs and spread across the world as sensitive and artistically inclined young people expressed their discontent with the current moment by drawing from the aesthetics of earlier eras and imagining the times to come. The New Romantics found ways to gender bend and thwart authority, and they looked misanthropically fabulous doing it. These journals celebrate the drama that made the New Romantic movement some of the most ironic good times popular culture has ever had. Paperblanks journals are made in China. We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $59 for US customers, and for orders over $250 for our Canadian customers.
