Buckram has a linen textured appearance with a high sheen finish due to the protective coating applied. Widely used in the bookbinding industry it is popular due to its hardwearing, durable surface.

Our range of imported Leatherette, or Vegan Leather as it is commonly called, is often mistaken for authentic leather because of its soft, luxurious feel. Leatherette remains popular for animal friendly or eco-conscious clients although it does not wear as well as authentic leather and should be handled with care.

Linen is a classic textured woven fabric, made from the fibers of flax plants, and it remains one of the oldest and most expensive textiles in the world. Our range of unique linens are available in an extensive range of colours including numerous "natural" tones that have become increasingly popular over recent years and will compliment any modern decor.

Our range of imported Japanese cloths add a luxurious feel to albums. Asahi's beautiful smooth silk texture, and stunning low sheen appearance, have made them one of our most popular cloths.

Indulge in the luxurious, dense pile and silky smooth feel of traditional and textured velvets. It's easy to see why these have become some of our most popular cover materials.​

Our Classic Leather range features beautiful beautiful, textured, corrected grain leathers which are popular for their near perfect surfaces with minimal scarring. Corrected grain leather generally has a full pigment finish applied to the embossed surface, and should be the leather of choice for those clients wanting authentic leather with a uniform appearance. Any natural blemishes do not affect the leather's durability in any way and act as nature's imprint of authenticity of leather.

Our Premium Leather range features beautiful analine leathers that are well known for their authentic surface grains and textures. Analine Leather is an uncorrected grain leather that has been dyed without any pigment applied to the surface.  This means any scarring is far more prevalent. It is almost impossible for an album, particularly large albums, to be completely free of some sort of scarring. Any natural blemishes do not affect the leather's durability in any way and act as nature's imprint of authenticity of leather.
