Patinated leather grimoire notebook — a compact writing notebook, designed to keep notes, thoughts, and text fragments in an object with an antique look.
This notebook is primarily used for handwriting:
journal, personal notes, ideas, quotes, lists, or short texts.
Its leather cover, visible stitching, and lace closure
give it a presence more akin to a small grimoire
than a standard notebook.
Its use is intentionally specific:
it is suitable for everyday writing and notes,
but it is not a notebook designed for drawing
or wet techniques.
Information
The leather cover features antique-inspired stitching
and a lace closure that keeps the notebook closed
between uses.
The whole gives a compact, structured object
and pleasant to keep close at hand.
The notebook comes with a water lily leaf-shaped bookmark,
designed as a reading and writing marker.
It allows you to quickly find an ongoing page
without dog-earing or slipping paper between the leaves.
The leather may show natural variations in shade.
The color changes depending on the pieces and the leather used,
making each copy slightly different.
Small variations in grain, marking, or shade
are part of the normal appearance of the product.

a lightly loaded rollerball, or a fountain pen with moderate ink flow.
It allows for regular writing without overly thick support.
For journaling and text fragments
The compact format is well suited for brief note-taking,
journal entries, copied quotes,
and ideas you want to keep with you.
This notebook is not designed for drawing
The 100 gsm paper is not intended for heavy sketches,
ink-soaked markers, washes, or repeated water applications.
Its primary use remains writing.
Use and care
-
Untie the lace without abruptly pulling on the fasteners.
-
Preferably use writing tools with low ink saturation.
-
Allow pages to dry before closing the notebook.
-
Clean the cover with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid water, solvents, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Leather evolves with use and may change in shade over time.
🤍 Ikane workshop tip
Keep this notebook for a single purpose:
journal, reading notes, quotes, or brief thoughts.
A clearly defined use makes it more vibrant
than a notebook left empty for "doing everything."
