Galen Leather Galata
After more than 15 years of craft, production, and a deep love for analog tools, we opened our flagship store in the heart of Istanbul, inside a historic building in Galata.
This space is more than a shop for us. It is a place to experience the world of Galen Leather in person — to touch the leather, test fountain pens, explore paper, and slow down with ink and writing. Inside, you’ll find our leather goods, notebooks, fountain pens, inks, and stationery tools, along with a dedicated paper testing station, pen testers, and an ink testing area with more than 300 colors to try.
Whether you are visiting Istanbul or already part of the local stationery community, we hope our Galata store becomes a place where you can discover, test, write, and feel at home.
A special space where you can experience everything around writing, leather, and notebooks — just a few steps from Galata Tower and Galataport.
