This handbound petrol green notebook is crafted in Istanbul using traditional Anatolian bookbinding techniques.

Its sahteyan (goatskin) leather cover is embossed with an authentic Rumi pattern, a historic motif deeply rooted in Turkish-Islamic art.

Featuring beloved Stella 90gsm paper, it provides a smooth, archival-quality writing experience.
A meaningful, heirloom-quality piece designed to accompany your creative journey and personal reflections.

-Details about the Cultural Heritage on Your Desk
The cover features an intricate Rumi motif, a design historically associated with “Diyar-ı Rum”—the Anatolian lands.
For centuries, this motif has appeared in Seljuk, early Ottoman, and wider Islamic art traditions, symbolizing unity, movement, and continuity.
This notebook carries that cultural lineage in a refined, modern form:

- Premium Sahteyan Leather (Goatskin)
Sahteyan leather has been the preferred material for Ottoman manuscript bindings for hundreds of years due to its durability and its ability to hold embossing beautifully.
Traditionally tanned and richly textured

- Deep petrol green tone (color may shift slightly under different lighting)
Flexible, strong, and develops a beautiful patina over time
Naturally unique surface each notebook carries the authentic marks of real leather

- Stella Paper - Beloved by Writers
90 gsm premium Stella paper
Smooth surface ideal for fountain pens, pencils, and ballpoints
Minimal bleed-through
Acid-free and suitable for long-term archiving
A favorite among authors for its balanced texture and clean writing feel

- Handbound Using Traditional Techniques
Nearly no industrial machinery was used in the making of this notebook.
Each section was individually folded, sewn, and pressed by hand in a workshop dedicated to preserving disappearing Turkish bookbinding traditions.
This slow, intentional craftsmanship gives each notebook a unique character.

- Elegant Interior
Deep burgundy inner cover for a rich visual contrast
Opens flat for comfortable daily writing
Ideal for journaling, poetry, travel notes, and creative work

- Artistic Gift Packaging
Packaged using traditional Turkish marbled paper (Ebru) and a handmade leather band,
making it a thoughtful and culturally rich gift for writers, artists, historians, and stationery lovers.

- Color Accuracy Note
The petrol green leather may appear slightly different depending on daylight, warm indoor light, or studio lighting.
I photographed it in natural and indoor light to show its full range.

(Material Note)
Because this notebook is made from genuine sahteyan goatskin and fully handcrafted, small natural marks or texture variations may appear on the leather.
These are not flaws but signs of authenticity and traditional craftsmanship.
