Journal, Naple style leather journal, Large size journal, Hand sewn and hand bound journal, Personalize journal

I bound my 'Naple Style Journal' with hand dyed brownish Italian leather which I got inspiration from antique Naples city. The symbols engraved on the center plates are the Orphic eggs, the snake who wraps an egg, which signifies the source of the universe and creation, I believe the act of writing makes us the demiurge of our life. Therefore we create our reality. 

The pages are made of 95gr between white and light cream color blank paper which is great not only for fountain pens (it doesn't bleed through) but also for graphite and watercolor. Pages are meticulously hand-sewn. I did gold decorations with 24K gold and I completed the journal with a tooled leather bookmark for harmony and beauty. Marbled endpapers are unique because I made and selected the best one for this journal.

All processes are done by hand, in accordance with tradition and respect for the environment. Although it takes a lot of time, this journal is bound with love and care, making each one a unique piece.

Please note this journal is not a moleskine that it bends on itself. This journal has a structure, it is sewn on five cords, it has a rounded and hammered back. This journal opens well and is easy to write.

-Size: about 17.5x25.3cm (=6.8x9.9 inches)
-About 400 pages (about 200 sheets)

You're welcome to personalize the journal with engraved title or initials on the spine. After your order, I'll contact you for personalization.
