Gothic Notebooks

Gothic notebooks in three executions

Hardcover notebooks come with embossed cover, silver-shimmer print and ribbon bookmark – compact, lightweight and well suited to a handbag. Leather notebooks are filled with handmade paper that takes on the look of ancient manuscripts through its texture and used finish; plenty of models can be sealed with a metal lock. Grimoire notebooks feature a three-dimensionally worked cover with figurative motifs and pages aged for effect – these models sit more on the shelf than in the bag. Every model features blank pages without ruling, unless otherwise specified in the individual product description.

The motifs run from dragons, ravens, skeletons and Green Man through pentagram, Yggdrasil and Baphomet to witch cats and Egyptian motifs. Among the illustrators, Ruth Thompson is represented with her dragon series, and Lisa Parker with animal and witch motifs. Matching companion pieces sit among the Dragon Letter Openers and the wider Gothic Desk Accessories.
