With our online shop now up and running for over 2 months I have been playing around with several new ideas for cover styles and design. Too much time on my hands I hear you say. If only that were true. Needs to get out more then I hear you cry. Well that's as maybe but you have to think about something to while away the time whilst driving to and from London.
Anyway the result of this brain rummaging has been the development of our new range of "book style" covers for the journals.
For these we have temporarily done away with our wrap around style and designed the covers with a soft flexible binding of leather and weaving a "belt" of leather through the cover to form the tie and to compliment the over all design.
We have used either goatskin or calf for the covers and the belts.
These are currently available in both A7 and A6 sizes, with our usual 120gsm high quality writing paper.
NEW LIMITED EDITION SIZE
We have also produced a limited edition, currently 10 only, in a larger square size (15 x 15cm). These have a good solid feel and would be ideal for sketching. The leaves are made fom a heavier 135gsm, slightly textured off-white paper.
Depending on the popularity of this size we may expand the range to include this as standard. So if you have any thoughts please let me know.
I am in the process of uploading them to the online shop (carronvalebindery.co.uk) but they are already available at our shop in Larbert.
Let's see what the next long drive to London can produce.
