There are diaries so beautiful you almost do not want to write in them. But this light-brown tanned leather diary is not merely aesthetic: the evil eye motif that decorates its cover carries millennia of symbolism. Fill it with your thoughts, plans, dreams — and let a symbol that protects what you write be with you throughout.
The symbolism of the evil eye
The evil eye — the antidote to the envious gaze — is one of the most recognisable protective symbols in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indian cultures. It is believed that whoever carries or displays it is guarded from envy and negative energies. The evil eye motif on the diary cover is not merely decorative: it is a kind of guardian watching over the thoughts and words written within.
Tanned leather: characterful and lasting
The distinctive quality of tanned leather is that it becomes more beautiful with time — the patina that regular use brings makes each piece uniquely its own. The 20×15 cm format is practical: it accommodates A5 pages, is large enough to write in comfortably, and compact enough to carry in a bag. The 3 cm thickness signals that a great many pages await your thoughts.
From India, by hand
Indian leather working and bookbinding are crafts with a long tradition. The carved or embossed evil eye decoration on the diary cover is made by hand, which means each piece is subtly individual — the depth of the impression, the tone of the colour, the grain pattern of the leather. This individuality is what makes a tanned leather diary a special, personal object.
