Bespoke Service for handmade, personalised leather Wedding Guest Books and Memory Books

August 31, 2015

Bespoke Service for handmade, personalised leather Wedding Guest Books and Memory Books

Why not order a bespoke book to mark a special occasion or for a memorable gift? It's a popular option for Wedding Guest Books, Memory Books for anniversaries, scrapbooks and family albums; and Journals and Sketchbooks for birthdays and Christmas.

We'll work together to make your perfect book, including a dedication, quotation or similar on the title page and your perfect combination of leather and binding colours. You also choose the size and format that best suits your needs.

Memory Books

These fine leather scrapbooks are a brilliant way to collect mementoes from your adventures, to record family milestones or for use as a photo album. With 128 pages of heavyweight paper for all dry medium artwork, light wash and mixed media they are bound with spacers in the spine to allow for the extra thickness of your inclusions. Use with acid-free photo spray mount, photo corners, glue dots or washi tape.

Journal / Sketchbook

Ideal for daily use for taking notes, making sketches or keeping a diary. They have 224 pages of Mohawk Superfine Smooth plain white paper that is a dream to use with all writing instruments. 

Sketchbooks can alternatively be bound with specialist artist's papers on request, including watercolour and pastel papers, and a mix of types of paper.

Wedding Guest Book

An elegant addition to your wedding day, these books lie open on a table to collect your guests well wishes. These have 224 pages of Mohawk Superfine Smooth paper (a slim version with 112 pages is also available).
