These hard-cover Coptic books feature a truly extraordinary paper printed by Vintage Paper Co UK, known as ‘Ranks of Flowers, Fancy No. 29’. They are called Fancy Prints because they involve complex multi-layers of colors, skillfully printed onto antique text print, normally 200+ years old! 
 
Each cover showcases one of these original Fancy Prints atop a richly textured Nepalese Gauze Butter Paper, which blends colored parchment with gauze cloth to create incredible depth and dimension.
 
Inside, the book is filled with 112 pages of khadi cotton rag paper and lined with exquisite marbled prints by Jemma Lewis. Each book is hand-bound using the Coptic stitch and tied with vintage sari silk ribbon.

  • Khadi Cotton Rag Paper

    Archival quality, environmentally friendly Khadi cotton rag paper is made from 100% cotton rag fibers, and has an exquisite texture and tactile feel.

    Each sheet bears the unmistakable imprint of the handmade process, with subtle variations in thickness adding to its charm, along with its unique and hand torn deckled edges.

    The paper has a soft fibrous surface that’s perfect for a wide range of artistic and writing mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, even fountain pen.


    Khadi is beloved by artists and enthusiasts of every level for its exceptional quality, versatility, and its immense beauty.

    The pages lay completely flat without damaging the spine, giving journal users unhampered access to the entirety of every page.

  • Hardcover

    One-of-a-kind hard covers are designed with handmade papers and bound with a Coptic link stitch first used by the Copts in ancient Egypt to bind papyrus scrolls into the first codices which allowed knowledge and wisdom to travel beyond the Alexandrian Library.
    My preferred coptic stitch is that originally used in Ethiopian Coptic binding, weaving multiple needles with linen thread.
