Every year, LEUCHTTURM1917 and the Bullet Journal® team pick one colour to carry the collection. Blue22, Green23, Yellow24, Turquoise25 — and the 2026 colour arrived on 8 August, Bullet Journal Day itself: Purple26, a deep, inky plum set off by the collection's gold lightning-bolt branding. It might be the best-looking one yet.
The full Purple26 line-up is in the shop and shipping now, and it covers the whole journaling kit:
- Bullet Journal Edition 2, Medium (A5) — the flagship. Hardcover, 206 numbered dotted pages, 120gsm paper with barely any show-through, index, future log, page dividers, sticker set and the detachable pocket guide. £28.90
- Bullet Journal Pocket, pack of 3 — the travel-sized version. One little landscape notebook per month; a double-page spread opens out to the space of a full A5 page. £20.90
- Drehgriffel Nr. 1 gel pen — precision-milled aluminium and brass, 0.5 mm black gel ink, refillable, and now dressed in Purple26. Limited edition. £28.50
- Pen Loop — the self-adhesive elastic loop that keeps your pen attached to your journal, with the Bullet Journal lightning bolt embossed in the corner. £4.50

Photos only get you so far with this colour — the plum shifts between purple and berry depending on the light, and the gold foil does most of its work in motion:
New to bullet journalling?
A bullet journal is one notebook that replaces the to-do list, the diary, the habit tracker and the pile of sticky notes. The method — invented by Ryder Carroll — uses the dotted grid, an index and a handful of simple symbols to log tasks, events and notes quickly, then migrate what still matters to the next day or month. No printed layout telling you what your week should look like: you build only the pages you actually use.
That's why the LEUCHTTURM1917 Edition 2 is the notebook we recommend to beginners — the index, numbered pages, future log and pocket guide are already set up for you, so you can start with a pen and ten minutes. If you'd rather test the water first, the little Bullet Journal Pocket covers one month per notebook.
Purple26 is in stock now — order online or call in and see it in person at 4 Callender Street, Belfast. Journalling for the year ahead? The 2027 dotted planners have arrived too.
Stock is limited — last year's Turquoise25 didn't hang around.
