The velvet cover as a sensory experience
Velvet is one of the most pleasant fabrics to touch — soft, warm, with a slightly "stroking" feel. In this notebook you receive a dark blue velvet cover with a moon and stars motif. It is already a distinctive experience to hold before you even open it — and that is exactly what makes it suitable for personal, more "ceremonial" use than everyday notebooks.
What to use it for
Many people look specifically for a beautiful, keep-worthy book for evening thought-sorting or a morning gratitude journal. Others use it as a dream journal, kept by the bed — writing down what they remember as soon as they wake. Yet others use it as a personal diary, for letter drafts, or for notes from more important meetings. What they have in common is that you consider the content important and are looking for a worthy carrier for it.
Inside pages and writability
The notebook's pages are standard notebook pages, comfortable to write on with ballpoint, fountain pen and pencil alike. The velvet cover doesn't affect the writing experience: when you open it you get the traditional notebook feeling, only the cover is decidedly special. The motif — moon and stars — quietly underlines the evening, calm, intimate use.
A gift idea
This kind of notebook is a particularly kind gift for the acquaintance of yours who likes to write, keeps a journal, or simply enjoys beautifully crafted, keepable objects. It is a fine birthday or Christmas attention, and looks especially good tied with a small velvet ribbon. The recipient can use it for years, since the velvet cover is durable when cared for.
Care and storage
Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, as velvet can fade. Do not expose it to moisture, and avoid contact with greasy surfaces. In case of staining, gently wipe it with a soft brush, only in the direction of the pile. Do not use harsh cleaners. Check the motif's details occasionally, and store it on a flat shelf so the cover does not crease.
