Meet Our Handcrafted Books

Meet Our Handcrafted Books

Before a word is written, our books already hold a story. It's in the unique leather grain, the hand tooled spine, and the section sewn pages. 

The story of every handcrafted book begins in the making — with Simon at the bench, creating one at a time, using tools that have been in our family for decades.

We make books for all kinds of people and purposes — for weddings, travels, quiet evenings at home. No two books are exactly alike, but they all share a few things in common:
quality workmanship, beautiful paper, and the knowledge that they'll be used and enjoyed for years to come. 

Read on if you want to know about our most-loved pieces.

Journals

For writers, thinkers, and everyday makers

Our journals are made to be used - in the quiet morning, a busy studio, or beside the bed at night. 

Each is bound by hand and filled with smooth, high quality paper ready for ink, pencil, or paint. Whether you choose a sturdy classic hard bound style or our soft refillable wrap cover, it's made to last through many chapters.

Photo Albums

Heirloom worthy and hand crafted

These books are made to be gifted and handed down.

With heavy-weight black pages and interleaving tissue you can add photos or scrapbook style clippings to both sides of the pages without them rubbing together. Our albums are a favourite for weddings, anniversaries, and baby milestones. You'll find several size and colour options in the range, all designed with care and built to last a lifetime. Add a custom title to make it truly personal. 

Guest & Signature Books

For places and moments that matter

Weddings, milestone birthdays, memorials -some events deserve a place to gather the words that mean the most.

Our guest books are designed with intention: elegant, timeless and practical. The lay flat pages make them easy to write in, and you can choose colours, titles and embsooing to suit the occasion. 

We also offer a formal-style guest book with printed columns - a popular choice for guest houses and accommodation where messages are gathered over time.
