An A5-sized notebook with 80 pages inside a lavender velvet cover and the words "Believe in Yourself" on the front. Lavender velvet is an unusual material to encounter in everyday stationery — it is soft, muted, and quietly distinctive, sitting somewhere between the calm of the light blue and the richness of the purple in the velvet range. The colour has a natural warmth that photographs do not always capture; in person, the velvet nap gives the lavender a subtle, shifting quality depending on how the light hits it. Paired with "Believe in Yourself," this notebook has the most personal and encouraging tone in the collection.

"Believe in Yourself"
This is the most inward-facing title in the velvet notebook range. Where "Make it Happen" is about doing and "Embrace the Journey" is about accepting, "Believe in Yourself" is about being — trusting your own judgment, recognising your own capacity, and writing from a place of self-worth rather than self-doubt. It is a phrase that resonates most during transitions: starting something new, recovering from a setback, stepping into unfamiliar territory, or simply reminding yourself that you are capable of more than the inner critic suggests.
For people who use journaling as a self-care practice, a notebook with this message on the front serves as a small, daily affirmation. You do not need to write affirmations inside (though the open pages certainly accommodate that) — the message on the cover does the work each time you reach for it.
The Lavender
Lavender sits in an interesting space in colour language. It is not as commanding as purple, not as neutral as grey, and not as airy as light blue. It carries associations with calm, creativity, and gentle femininity — but on velvet, it takes on a richness that lifts it beyond pastel territory. The velvet nap gives lavender a soft depth that makes it feel considered rather than sweet. Of the six velvet colours in the range, lavender is the most expressive without being bold — it makes a statement, but quietly.
Lavender pairs naturally with the wellness and self-care aesthetic that draws many people to journals in the first place. If the notebook will live on a desk or nightstand alongside candles, crystals, or skincare, lavender velvet fits that world seamlessly.
Care
Brush gently with a soft cloth or lint roller to keep the velvet nap fresh. Lavender is a mid-tone — it shows marks less readily than the light blue but more than the darker colours. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth for surface marks. Store flat or upright.
A Note on Gifting
The lavender colour and "Believe in Yourself" message make this the most emotionally resonant gift in the velvet range. It carries care and encouragement in a way the other titles do not — giving someone this notebook says "I see you and I believe in you," which is a different kind of gift from practical stationery. Particularly suited to someone going through a difficult time, starting a new chapter, building confidence, or working on self-care. Also good for Mother's Day, birthdays, and for anyone who appreciates the intersection of beautiful objects and meaningful messages. The lavender colour skews slightly feminine, so for a more neutral alternative with a similar encouraging tone, the light blue "Embrace the Journey" is the closest match.
Common Questions
How does lavender compare to the purple velvet notebook?
Lavender is softer, lighter, and more muted. The purple ("Create Magic") is deeper, richer, and more intense. Lavender feels gentle and encouraging; purple feels creative and bold. Same A5 velvet format, different colour personality.
Is this notebook suitable for a professional setting?
The velvet cover and "Believe in Yourself" message give this a personal, wellness-oriented character rather than a corporate one. It is better suited to personal use, home offices, and creative environments than formal business settings. For a more professional-leaning velvet notebook, the black "Carpe Diem" or dark green "Make it Happen" are the more neutral choices.
Is this the same format as the other velvet notebooks?
Yes. All velvet notebooks in the range share the same A5 size (21 × 14.5 cm), 80 pages, 1.7 cm spin
