    Frequently asked questions

    What is an ex-libris?

    An ex-libris is a stamp or engraving placed inside your books to mark your name, as bibliophiles once did. But it is far more than a mere sign of ownership: it is a personal emblem, drawn for you alone.

    To give an ex-libris is to surprise someone.

    It says I love you, I know you, you are unique — through an elegant, rare and poetic object.

    It is the perfect gift for those who already have everything, because it is made to measure, from the intimate world of the person receiving it.

    An ex-libris is never forgotten. It accompanies every reading, like a discreet and precious signature.

    What is the difference between semi-bespoke and bespoke?

    • Semi-bespoke (€75): the recipient chooses an existing design, which they can personalise with their initials, a first name or a short phrase.
    • Bespoke (€195): we create an ex-libris entirely drawn by hand, from the recipient's wishes, inspirations and symbols.
