BastiJio

We are Basti and JiO, Georgian artists creating handcrafted books and pens with a vintage character. Each book is carefully bound and painted by hand, while fallen tree branches are transformed into unique writing instruments in our workshop. Our journey began on the streets, where we sold handmade “Stone of Gladness” necklaces—small reminders to appreciate life, made from stones collected by the sea. After moving online, our early accessories received little attention, which pushed us to rethink our direction and create something truly distinctive. Today, after serving more than 200+ customers, we are ready to share our creations with the world.
