Carta Rustica – Where Every Notebook is a Journey

Nestled in a quaint workshop in the heart of Saigon, skilled artisans meticulously craft every detail of our notebooks. From the rich, comforting scent of genuine leather to the silky-smooth touch of paper reminiscent of a Mediterranean breeze, each element is a testament to our dedication.

Carta Rustica is more than just a brand; it's a bridge connecting the romantic spirit of ancient Italy and Greece with the innovative soul of Vietnamese craftsmanship.

Each Carta Rustica notebook is a silent symphony, echoing the timeless beauty of Santorini's white-washed walls, the whispers of wind in Roman piazzas, and the golden glow of a Florentine sunset on terracotta rooftops. You're not just writing on paper; you're continuing your own unique story, adding chapters to your personal history.

At Carta Rustica, we don't just sell notebooks. We offer you a cherished space to capture:

  • The very first strokes of your writing dreams.
  • That heartfelt letter you haven't yet sent.
  • The spontaneous sketch of a life-changing idea.
  • Or simply a few quiet lines penned on a peaceful afternoon.

Our handcrafted leather covers serve as a protective embrace for your deepest emotions. Every subtle scratch, every stitch, tells a story—a unique mark of time, a reflection of the journey you're living. We don't strive for perfection; we strive for soul, for a product that breathes with your experiences.

Let Carta Rustica accompany you on your creative ventures. Because every word you write, every thought you ink, deserves to be treasured as a masterpiece.
