Our Safavid Indigo design reproduces a leather filigree pattern incorporating handtooled motifs, retaining the elegance and style of the Islamic Golden Age even in our modern context. Originally released in a classic brown leather look, this new deep blue colour scheme pays tribute to the darkest tone of Persian Blue.
Inspired by a magnificent 17th-century Persian (Iranian) filigree and lacquer book cover, the Safavid Indigo journal celebrates the artistry of the Islamic Golden Age. Its intricate leather filigree pattern, hand-tooled motifs, and rich indigo finish pay tribute to the deepest shade of Persian Blue, a color widely used in the art and architecture of the Safavid era. The original binding, crafted from reddish-brown goatskin with real gold, lacquer, and painted details, exemplified the symmetry and elegance that defined Persian bookbinding under Shah Abbas the Great. Designed for both beauty and longevity, this journal features a durable Smyth sewn binding that allows it to lay flat while standing up to years of use. Thoughtful details include a secure magnetic wrap closure, two satin ribbon markers, an accordion-style memento pouch for storing keepsakes, premium cream-colored paper, decorative historical endpapers, and a personalized name plate. Combining timeless craftsmanship with practical modern features, the Safavid Indigo journal brings one of history's finest bookbinding traditions into everyday life.
