Galen Leather Co.

Galen Leather Co. is a family-owned business based in Istanbul, Turkey, specializing in handcrafted leather goods for writers and travelers. Founded in 2012 by Zeynep, the brand began as a personal project during her recovery from illness. After her passing in 2019, her brother Yusuf and husband Yunus continued her legacy, maintaining the brand’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and timeless design.

Known for products like leather pen cases, notebook covers, and the distinctive wooden Writing Box, Galen’s offerings are crafted using natural materials such as vegetable-tanned leather, brass, and wood. Many of their items are designed to work with popular stationery brands like Leuchtturm1917, Field Notes, and Moleskine, while others cater to modern needs with laptop and tablet sleeves.

Each piece is handmade in their Istanbul workshop with attention to detail and an emphasis on durability and style. Galen Leather has earned a loyal following among fountain pen users and notebook enthusiasts for its quality, practical designs, and customer-first approach.
