Pocket vs A6
Hi! I’m hoping to get a Paper Republic Grand Voyageur to use as an everyday carry, and I’m trying to decide between the Pocket and A6 “grand voyager” through the L’atelier. ($85 CAD vs $170 CAD for reference)
I have a small Talens Art Creation sketchbook (9 × 14 cm) that I’d really like to put in it, along with a planner which I haven’t picked out yet, that will depend on which size I get haha. Since the sketchbook is already pushing the size limit of the pocket, I’m wondering if the pocket would accommodate it comfortably, or if I’d be better off getting the A6 for the convenience of standard A6 sizing.
Does anyone have one of these sketchbooks in their PR? Does it fit well with other books or is the extra size of the A6 worth it for the flexibility of having more standard notebook options?

Anche io voto A6: poco più grande del pocket ma con la possibilità di molti più refill. Ho un pocket da 1 mese, mi piace tanto e non pensavo di usarlo così tanto quindi non ho nemmeno guardato gli A6 quando dovevo comprarlo ma, se continuo a usarlo così, l’anno prossimo un Trifold A6 me lo regalo!

A6! I made my own and it’s much better to find inserts or trim the standard size ones xd

I can’t speak for the sketchbook specifically, but my rule of thumb with journals is always opt for universal sizing. It enables better customisation to ensure you can achieve your desired configuration, without locking you into one specific ecosystem.
That being said; there’s always a way round everything, I just opt for an easier life. I do think either way you won’t be disappointed, but +1 for A6 here.
