Leather to keep writing safe

  • • Huseyn makes leather-bound notebooks, albums and planners
  • • His own pleasure for writing prompted him to pick up his craft
  • • He never makes the exact same design twice

Technology has forever changed the way we take our notes, and yet Huseyn Heuseynov has found a way to keep his writing habits alive. After a fateful trip across Azerbaijan, during which he discovered how impractical and fragile most notebooks are, Huseyn decided to contribute to the perpetuation of handwriting by designing durable leather notebook covers. To ensure that his every creation remains inimitable, before sketching his designs, he consults with his customers to understand the notebook’s purpose. However, it is his preference to stitch the cover to the paper instead of gluing them, that makes his notebooks truly unique, durable and precious.
