Bespoke Service: ribbon, strap, fob or thong?

by Susan Green August 28, 2018

Bespoke clients commissioning a handmade leather Journal, Sketchbook, Wedding Guest Book or Memory Book have four closure options to choose from. 

Straps

In the same colour as the book's leather covers, straps wind around the book and are held in place by a discreet leather buckle. Ideal for any kind of book, especially Memory Books where some expansion in the book's width can be expected.

Fobs

Ideal for Journals or Sketchbooks (but not Memory Books), these quick-close magnetic snaps double up as a penholder. Usually made in the same leather as the book covers, but contrasting colours may be available on request - please enquire.

Thongs

Ideal for any kind of book, available in Neutral, Tan, Dark Brown, Navy and Black, they are narrower than the leather straps. Other colours may be available on request - please do enquire.

Ribbons

Ribbons lend a romantic, feminine feel to Wedding Guest Books and Journals. Silk and linen offer unique tactile qualities that enhance the enjoyment and appearance of your book, with colours to co-ordinate with your binding thread colour. Woven silk ribbons in heritage patterns and colours can be arranged by special request.
