I bound this antique-style journal with hand-dyed, brown-toned Italian leather. The symbol engraved on the center plate is Chnoubis, an emblem associated with strength, vitality, eternal regeneration, and wisdom. I believe that the act of writing brings these same qualities into our lives, offering renewal and insight, and giving us the power to shape our own reality.
I bound this journal with high-quality leather and filled it with 95 gr light cream-colored blank paper, which is ideal not only for fountain pens but also for sketching. The pages are hand-sewn. I added gold decorations using 24K gold leaf. I hand-marbled the endpapers and selected the best pair for this journal. The edges of the journal are also marbled.
All processes are done by hand, in accordance with tradition and respect for the environment. Although it takes time, this journal is bound with love and care, making each one a unique piece.
Please note that this journal is not a Moleskine that bends back on itself. This journal has a structure: it is sewn on five cords and has a rounded and hammered spine. This journal opens smoothly and is easy to write in. It is built to last and will protect your words for years to come.
Size: about 18×23cm (about 7.1×9inches)
About 440 pages
You’re welcome to personalize the journal with an engraved initials or title on the spine. After your order, I’ll contact you regarding personalization.
