My first creative project, inspired by Japan

​​​​I have decided to start this new beginning with my first creative project, which combines my love for books and unique graphics.

 

Picture this: Tokyo's bustling metro, a sea of commuters with their noses buried in books wrapped in paper and fabrics covers. Inspired by this visual symphony during my solo journey in Japan, I was determined to bring a touch of that back home. Eager to purchase those book covers, I visited every shop I came across, but I couldn't find any that fit European standard book sizes.

So, I decided to create my own. I've bought my first sewing machine and have been learning how to cut, sew, and I have started experimenting different techniques, translating my ideas into real, tangible creations. This project is a reflection of that journey—bringing my concepts to life through trial, error, and discovery, as I explore and learn fabric and design.

 

Each cover is handcrafted from fabrics sourced from my mum's and my own collections, city shops, markets, deadstock materials and some friends' homes.

 

All our book covers are made on-demand, and it takes approximately 2/3 weeks to complete and ship an order.
