You need to be clear about what key points your agenda should have based on your routine. What makes that agenda your ideal agenda?

We warn you in advance that whatever your choice is, it will be a success and you will not regret it.

Mark's 2023-24 Diaries

agendasmarks

Mark's diaries come from Japan and are 16 months long (from September 2023 to December 2024).
Available in 3 sizes: A5, B6 and A6.
Its interior is completely the same regardless of its size or cover design.

These are weekly diaries in a COLUMN with hourly division. Ideal for all those who like to write down each activity in detail. It also has monthly planning and some sheets with interesting Japanese information. For example: subway lines, holidays...
One of the most important aspects of these diaries is the paper. It is a VERY SATIN paper and it holds up very well to ink and pens. But because it is so satin, the ink is not absorbed as well, so you have to let the ink dry a little before passing your hand over it, otherwise it will smudge.


They also have a plastic case with a zip pocket , to store papers, pens, your phone (you can control the phone screen through the plastic). It also has many pockets on the inside of the case to store cards, washi tape, stickers...


They are very versatile diaries to always carry with you, light and flexible.


IMPO: B6 starts from OCTOBER TO DECEMBER instead of September.

Kokonote Agendas 2023-24

Kokonote diaries are created in Spain and have 17 months, from August 2023 to December 2024 (except for the basic school diary which is 12 months).

At Entropía we work with 3 collections; the BIG, which is the largest, desktop size for those people who need to write down a lot but don't have to carry it around with them.

The Premium one is the one that has the spine in a folder, with designs by well-known authors and the brand's own models.

Finally we have the normal (basic) school one which is a ring-shaped one and is only 12 months old.

Later on, some other models will also arrive daily. Depending on the model, the interior is different and that is why we recommend that you look inside each model to see the interior in detail to see if everything fits you.


Kokonote planners are weekly with monthly planning as well. They have a lot of extra planning pages and the paper is also very nice. They are not that portable due to their size and weight but they are a very good option as a desk or office planner.

CIAK Agendas

We are super happy because this year we have brought the Italian brand CIAK as a novelty.

Ciak diaries are ideal for carrying around so that your bag/backpack doesn't weigh you down as if you were carrying a brick. Their paper is very thin (70g) and their binding is very flexible. So we can say that their compact and small size make them strong and light diaries.

It is also worth noting that, as the paper is so thin, they are not suitable for certain inks, not to mention pens...

These are 17-month DAILY diaries, from August 2023 to December 2024.

We have two collections: DENIM, which is lined with denim, and EARTH, which is lined with fabric and uses recycled paper.

UO Study Agendas

UO Estudio's school diaries are a staple at Entropía. Both their covers and interior are full of good vibes and joy.


They are available in 3 formats: A5 Daily, A5 Weekly and MINI. All of them are from September 2023 to August 2024
We have collections, and each design is available in three formats. In the store there is one open for display for each format.


The 3 designs only have a different cover, they are the same inside, they are only different in format. Although they all share the same style and extra pages: full color pages, with modern phrases, special pages such as menstrual calendar, seasonal fruit and vegetable calendar, etc.


A5 DAILY: 1 page per day but on weekends they share a page.
A5 Weekly: Weekly view with horizontal configuration.
A5 MINI: block view weekly. Sewn binding.

Ok... We think we've given you a good summary and now you have no excuse not to get yours.

Who will be your partner this 2023-24 academic year?
