We also specialise in a unique selection of artisanal binding styles and finishing techniques including traditional hand-tooled gold leaf detailing and ink speckled page edge finishing.

We pride ourselves on sourcing only the finest materials & leathers, all of which are sourced responsibly from reliable suppliers.

Our bindery is primarily set up for small to medium-sized runs depending on the project in question.
