What is Turk's head knot?

A Turk's head knot is a decorative knot with a variable number of interwoven strands, forming a closed loop. The name is used to describe the general family. While generally seen made around a cylinder, the knot can also be deformed into a flat, mat-like shape. Some variants can be arranged into a roughly spherical shape, akin to a monkey's fist knot. The knot is used primarily for decoration and occasionally as anti-chafing protection.

Story - Behind The Collection

In 2017, we met a young girl while on holiday in the south of Turkey, Izmir province. Because it had a maritime background, she was making home accessories with Monkey's first knot (a type of Turk's head knot). We asked her to cooperate with us to make keychains with the monkey's fist knot. Then by supplying brass hardware, we started to produce our keyrings at the beginning of 2018. We've also added a similar knotted leather bookmark to the collection.

I received my keychain as described. What I didn’t expect was what a lovely package that accompanied it. I was so pleasantly surprised by a beautiful letter with the History of Galen Leather, pen case, small pouch and other pleasantries. (If you have a pet, it was kind of how my dog must feel when he gets a Bark Box!) I was receiving a gift from a stranger in another land! It made my week! I am happy with the look of the key chain but hope it holds up… we’ll see. I am rough on my keys and got leather hoping it would hold up better than the cotton rope type I’ve gotten before.

Perfect

I really had no idea what a time saver this would be.
Diving into the Tardis like depths of my handbag has taken too much of my life.
Now my hands magically grasp the monkey knot and I’m away!!!

Looks great too xxx
