# Left-Handed Notebooks The Leftybook is a Notebook Designed for Left-Handed Writers By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lefthanded-writers References: [brit.co](https://www.brit.co/left-handed-gifts/) & [imborrable](https://www.imborrable.com/en/leftybooks/360-leftybook-sanz-i-vila.html) The 'Leftybook' is a notebook designed entirely for left-handed writers. No detail has been overlooked in the design of this niche notebook. First, the spine has been placed on the right side of the book with a thread-sewn and glued binding so it can lay flat. The lines inside the notebook have been printed at a slight slant to prevent the writer's hand from smudging the ink. The book also includes a highly practical ruler printed on the inside cover of the notebook. Across the front of the notebook is a fun and graphic illustration by Sanz i Vila of a left hand clumsily using tools designed for right-handed individuals. The illustrations cheekily illustrate the frustrations of left-handed writers while serving the dual purpose of further solidifying the purpose of this niche product. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Left-handed Niche Products:** The rise of the Leftybook suggests an untapped market for left-handed individuals and demands for similar left-handed niche products. - **Customized Stationery:** Customized stationery for specific demographic groups, such as left-handed writers, can be a successful area for new product development. - **Inclusive Design:** Inclusive design thinking can help businesses create products and services that are accessible and appealing to underrepresented groups, such as left-handed individuals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Stationery:** The stationery industry can exploit the untapped potential of left-handed individuals by developing more customized and niche products. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can create specific categories for left-handed products, attracting customers with specialized needs. - **Education:** Institutions can assist left-handed students and make them feel welcomed by offering the Leftybook and other customized stationery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md) - [Left-Handed Athlete-Focused Nutrition Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lefthanded-athlete.md) - [Ergonomically Curved Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curva-pen.md) - [Magnetic Whiteboard Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiteboard-notebook.md) - [Reusable Paper-Free Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuka-book.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Clinical Bed Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hospital-bed-notebook.md) - [Hybrid Luxe Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noteanote.md) - [Custom Notebook Designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griiid.md)
