    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a bookplate?

    A bookplate is a personalized engraving or stamp stamped on the first page of a book, indicating the name of its owner or the library to which it belongs.


    It usually represents a personal symbol, an illustration that evokes the personality of its owner.

    What happens after I place an order?

    1. Following your order, our illustrator Lauren begins illustrating your idea based on the elements you have provided (photos, mood board, explanations, etc.).

    2. Within 7 days*, you will receive their first drawing proposal by email .

    3. You will then be entitled to one (1) round trip for modifications if necessary, to refine the design together until perfection!

    4. As soon as you have validated the final version of the drawing, we begin engraving your bookplate in our workshop.

    5. Your order will be shipped 4 to 5 days later.

      *Shorter delivery times possible with the emergency option

    How is this bookplate made?

    Each drawing is custom illustrated by Lauren, our illustrator, following your inspirations.

    It is then hand-engraved in our workshop in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, on a wooden handle mounted with a rubber plate.

    Is this possible from my photo?

    Of course, this is even our specialty!

    Simply drag the photo when ordering, and we will use it as inspiration for the illustration.

    Why is this the best gift?

    Giving a bookplate is giving a gift unlike any other.

    It is a personal creation, completely unique in nature, which reflects the world, tastes or history of its recipient.

    It is particularly suitable for people who no longer know what to give, because they already have everything: a personal bookplate will surprise them in an intelligent and infinitely touching way.

    It is also a discreet and original way of saying "I am thinking of you", by offering a symbolic image that tells something about what binds you.

    The result is magnificent, no complaints there. But if you're in a hurry, I recommend the urgent option.

    looks great

    The standard format is already very pretty, but the XL size would have really highlighted the details. I'll keep that in mind for next time!

    received just in time

    The stamp is beautiful, but it arrived the day before departure. I should have chosen the express option to avoid the stress. I still highly recommend it!
