Measurements

Close your notebook.
Measure the whole width, then the height on the front cover.
Count the visible part of the back into the width measurement. For example – if your notebook happens to be bound by a spiral, then count the part of the spiral you can see when looking right down at the cover into the width measurement.

Then measure how thick is your notebook.

You do not have to add anything for better fit – we will do that and the covers will be perfect!

If you would like the covers to be made for one certain book, please follow the measuring notes for notebook covers.

If you would like the sort of book covers that are used for protecting original covers of the book while travelling etc and the covers should fit a range of sizes, you must come up with the maximum measurements by yourself. Decide, what would be the maximum width, height and thickness of the book.

In latter case you might like the covers that are turned back around the back cover, which may be adjusted to match the book’s width and thickness.

This depends on what sort of folder do you have in mind and what would you like to fit in it.

Folders with binding option usually have only pages in them so we need just the page size you intend to use with the folder. You do not need to add anything to make them fit better – we will do that and the covers will be perfectly suited.

Folders with a larger pocket option might also fit a tablet or even laptop. Depending on, which is larger, the pages or the smart devices, the overall measurements will have to be decided by the larger item. You are most welcome just letting us know what would you like to put into such a folder and we’ll make all the necessary calculations.

At the moment we offer the sort of books and photo albums that are made out of pre-made blocks. So the measurements depend on the block you choose. Please see the respective pages linked for more information.

Style

List of what’s available and I do not see why not to add them to whichever sort of covers or book you like:

  • Pockets for notes and loose pages, may be even for pencils.
  • Bookmark or three, or ten.
  • Fastening by strap or straps. Or ten. Covers with zipper are also available.
  • Small strap to hang your pen to.

 
 
This is not an exhaustive list and may be updated by any feature you may think of.

Decorations

Here's a list from a top of my head. You're most welcome to ask for more but here's a start:

  • Hand carved images, patterns.
  • Hand painted images, patterns (so you may get a colourful item).
  • Pyrography - hand burnt patterns on the leather. This suits best for leather goods with natural finish. These might be combined with hand painted option.
  • Lacing. There are many amazing ways to decorate leather goods with all sorts of lacing techniques.
  • Seams in alternating or similar colour might also be set up as a decorative pattern.
  • Patterns made of on sewn laces - very beautiful option.
  • Holes. Yes, we will make a pattern out of holes. Very beautiful option and may be combined with layers of leathers in alternating colour.
  • Metal rivets.

In general yes but also no.

It all depends on the size and detail of the image that is supposed to be carved onto the given surface. Include your chosen image to the contact form when composing a letter to us and I'll let you know!

We offer many beautiful colours and sometimes it is possible to mix them to get more.
For example - we're mixing yellow and blue to get a sort of green that we like more than the one that is available by default. So - for example - we could get violet or purple for you too.

We can not offer you white, gray and pink though.
