It's a Wrap!

And what a beautiful wrap it is!

Our leather rustic wrap journal is still our number 1 bestselling product for so many reasons.  In case you're not aware of them, we’ve listed a few below: 

Reason 1: Luxurious Fine Leather Cover

Soft with a subtly aged look, the covers wrap around and tie with a leather strap.  Three equally gorgeous colours to choose from - brown, chestnut and black.

Reason 2: Pages Begging to be Written On

The handmade, deckled edged papers of the rustic wrap allow for beautiful penmanship whether you opt to use a ball point, fountain pen, or even water colour paint.  

Reason 3: They're Customisable

Apart from the obvious choices of colour and size, you can also opt to have the journal stamped with a title, initials or a date.  This makes a great gift for so many occasions;  – travel journal, wedding guest book, wedding anniversary (1st is paper!) corporate gift or occasion birthday.

A Colour Change for a Bestseller

Up, Up and Away...Our bestselling Hot - Air Balloon Collection has changed.

Pictured: Landscape album in Hot-Air Ballon design (back) and Portrait sized Hot Air Balloon album (back)

The leather colour is now closer to crimson than brown, and the paper sides though still vintage and whimsical, have a much more colourful palette.  

What hasn't changed is the charm of the vintage hot air ballon design, the hours of work that go into crafting the books, the attention to the finest details - such as the hand decorative tooling along the leather spine and corner edges, and the classic raised bands on the spine.

It is a stunning handcrafted leather book, perfect for personalising with embossing of initials, a title, name or date.

Impress someone special with this personal gift.  Ideal gift for travellers, birthdays, or as a whimsical gift for new babies.

The collection includes the albums shown above and blank journals in two size options.  

Don't Like to Give Vouchers? Ours Will Change Your Mind!

A gift voucher is a great option when you really can't decide what to give someone, or with so many options available, you feel that the person really needs to make the selection for themselves. 

However, the feeling that vouchers often don't look like much of a 'gift' often lingers.  Even though we've all heard that good things come in small packages, it can feel like you are not giving a gift all when you hand over the little plastic card, piece of card or email an e-voucher! 

We like everything we create to be a little bit special.  Whether it's a custom made album, or the experience of a bookbinding workshop, we really strive to add something extra to make it personal and unique.  That being said, we couldn't just settle for handing over a piece of paper when someone purchases a gift voucher.

Although the voucher itself is 'just' a printed piece of card.  We've tried to make it a little bit more special by placing it in a wax sealed handmade envelope enclosed in a soft leather wrap.  It's still a voucher - but with the tactile and tangible experience of receiving (and giving) a gift.
