Photographer Tom Barnes Leather Presentation Portfolio

This is a custom leather photography portfolio that we did for portrait photographer Tom Barnes. Tom supplied his own leather (well not "his" leather, that would be a bit macabre. He sourced it himself). It was crazy cow from AA Crack, which is a chrome tanned leather, dyed and then surface dyed and then waxed, which gives it a really rustic appearance.

A3 Landscape Design Portfolio for Textile Designer Amy Deane

Amy choose quite sensibly a dark buckram book cloth for the outside cover and then a contrasting aqua blue bookcloth for the inside cover. We blind debossed Amy's name and logo on the front cover.

Leather Presentation Portfolio for Sydney-sider Ian Borg

The leather we used was 3mm veg tanned Italian bridle leather, that has been tumbled to give it that 'bubble' look. It also makes it slightly softer as well.

A3 Graphic Design Portfolio Book For Amanda Majorsky

Amanda choose a sensible Torridge black buckram, but contrasted it with the very striking Eden bookcloth for the spine and inner cover.

A3 Portrait Design Portfolio For Hannah J. Russell

Keepsake Memory Heirloom Box with Leather Photo Album

The idea behind these handmade bespoke boxes, are that they hold the processions, keepsakes and memories of a recently departed loved one. They will be filled with personal items and then photographs and hopefully a little background that go on to tell the story of the individuals lives.

A4 Display Book For Brisbane Designer Ali Newbury

Ali was very clear that she wanted a clean and classic ivory buckram for the outer binder cover and wanted the spine and inner cover to match the aqua green of her website.

A4 Customised Presentation Portfolio For Design Student

The cover was in Charcoal buckram, which as we've said before, Buckram is a great choice for portfolio covers as they give you much better ware and they can be wiped clean. Emily then went with a contrasting mauve book cloth for the spine and the inside cover.

A2 Clamshell Box and A3 Leather Presentation Portfolio

The question is portfolio box or portfolio binder? A2 (16 1/2" x 23 3/8") or A3 (11x17)? Or why not give both?

Bespoke Certificate Folders. A Great Place To Keep Your Certificates

Hand made for the recipient in a choice of fabrics (there is no extra charge for using two colours) as well as the option of having a name either blind embossed or foil stamped on the cover, a bespoke certificate folder is, by far and away, the reward for all those hours slumped over books till the early hours.

Brown Leather Wedding Album Goes To The Netherlands

Aukje also sent us a specially designed monogramed logo which was used on all her wedding stationery as well and which we also blind embossed onto the front cover of her album.

Interior Architect Portfolio For Designer Lama Momtaz

Interior architect Lama Momtaz approached us through our Etsy shop. She choose Ivory Buckram and Alton Red for her A4 landscape presentation portfolio. These are two very popular colours but this is the first time we've used them together for a design portfolio (good choice).

A3 Graphic Design Portfolio For Designer James Machin

Some colours work really well together for a presentation portfolio and Plate Grey and Doon Green are great examples.

GMC Civil Construction Binder

The type, or at least the finish, of the leather we use is still 'bubble' finish (no it wasn't blown on when it was wet), the hides were put into a big drum (like a tumble drier) and then tumbled.
