Metamorphosis. Memory. Meaning.
The Story Behind the Beetle Notebook
The beetle has walked through ancient myths, sacred scripts, and centuries of symbolism — quietly, persistently, purposefully.
To the Egyptians, it was sacred. The scarab beetle rolled the sun across the sky, a daily act of transformation. In cultures across Asia and Africa, beetles are symbols of resilience, luck, and quiet power — nature’s tiny architect of change.
The Dingbats Pro Beetle Notebook
The Dingbats Pro Beetle Notebook isn’t just a tool for writing. It’s a lucky charm. A ritual. A canvas for becoming. With every page you turn, you’re not just documenting ideas, you’re evolving. Just like the beetle itself, which hides beneath the surface, transforms in silence, and emerges stronger, bolder, ready to leave its mark. At Dingbats*, we see journaling the same way. A private ritual of self-evolution.
WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT:
A powerful Pro Beetle
So we created the Pro Beetle Notebook: a powerful, purposeful object designed not just for writing, but for becoming.
This notebook is for the metamorphosis. For the quiet shifts. The bold pivots. The ideas that crawl in as whispers and walk out as movements.
We don’t believe in lucky breaks. We believe in lucky notebooks.
And this one? It’s got your name on it.
Why Green?
The deep green canvas was chosen with intention. Green is the color of renewal, the shade of regrowth, grounding, and hope. It evokes ancient forests, fresh starts, and the natural world in motion. It’s where life begins again, just like your ideas do on each page.
What’s Inside Matters
Inside the covers, a golden web of intricate lines, inspired by the vein structure of a leaf, branches across the endpapers.
Why? Because just like ideas, change doesn't start in the spotlight. It begins in the smallest spaces, invisible, quiet, but full of life. The pattern is a tribute to unseen growth, inner transformation, and the natural wisdom woven into every corner of our world.
