Material Guide
Material Guide
Corkskin is a practical, quietly beautiful material made from the renewable bark of cork oak trees. It offers the look and durability of leather without animal products—lightweight, water-resistant, and easy to care for, with a naturally unique grain. Sourced mainly from Portugal, corkskin is also a material with impact: its growing demand has helped revive rural economies and sustain traditional cork-harvesting communities. Ethical, durable, and thoughtfully made, it fits naturally with brands that value craftsmanship, sustainability, and conscious design.
SUPPORT PAPER:
- ARTISANAL PAPER: Made on an original 19th-century papermaking machine from a now-closed mill, this paper brings character and quiet history to each album. A thoughtful mix of paper weights is used throughout, creating strength and visual interest while keeping the album comfortable to handle — never overly chunky. Subtle inclusions add depth without distracting from your photographs.
- 21st CENTURY PAPER: A modern, laid-textured paper in 250–300gsm, chosen for its clean structure and reliable support. Acid-free and beautifully consistent, it offers a crisp, contemporary feel that allows photographs to sit neatly and securely, making it an ideal choice for a sleek, timeless album.
Binding
Binding
Style: SADDLE and DAISY BINDING (PAMPHLET)
Fact: Pamphlet binding is an ancient, durable technique dating to the 4th century, formed by sewing a single folded section directly through the spine to a leather cover. Using simple 3–6 hole sewing patterns—chosen according to thickness—it creates a strong, flexible book that opens completely flat, ideal for journals, music, or zines. While classically straight-sewn (Saddle), the structure can be enhanced with daisy stitching or multiple signatures joined to a cover for added strength and character.

Really cool product, such fascinating piece of work. Very happy with it and Natalie added a lovely touch with the calligraphy with our family name. Would 100% recommend, really worth the money.
