Venus and The Cat Blank Sketchbook

€15.00

This sketchbook is the companion to the notebook inspired by the same Aesop's tale Venus and The Cat. The design focuses on the sleek silhouette of a black cat playing with a thread, symbolising their grace and mystery. In Sicily and much of Italy, black cats have long been seen as devilish creatures, but I've always found them mesmerising—beautiful, elegant, and full of quiet wisdom. This sketchbook is a tribute to them and the lessons they teach us about resilience and beauty in the face of prejudice.

Perfect for:

Pair this sketchbook with the notebook for a complete set—one for drawing and sketching, the other for jotting down notes and reflections. It's the ideal gift for cat lovers and anyone who appreciates a high-quality sketchbook for their creative projects. With sturdy pages perfect for sketching, writing, or even watercolour, this sketchbook is as versatile as it is charming.

“Why have black cats been judged as evil for so long? Syros, the island where I live, is full of stunning black cats—mysterious and graceful, with their golden eyes catching the sunlight. I created this pattern to challenge the myth of black cats as unlucky and to celebrate their unique beauty and charm.”
