Pure cotton paper made in Amalfi, with a deckled edge and a substantial, soft hand. Warm-white, archival and unmistakably handmade.
Photographed prints, shown for comparison only; surface and sheen are impossible to judge on screen. I keep samples of every paper and will show you the real thing before I commit.
Graphistudio's newest leatherette: a light, versatile fabric with a polymeric coating that gives a smooth, even surface and wipes clean.
Anthracite Grey
A polymeric fabric with a shaded finish, so the colour moves across the cover rather than sitting flat. Extremely smooth, very soft to the touch, and highly resistant to wear.

Exceptional aniline-treated Italian nubuck cow leather. A special hand-finishing process gives it a distinct vintage effect, and its softness and warm tones are the highest expression of classic vintage elegance.

Story Book
A stitched, cotton-paper book: your story, beautifully sequenced.
The Story Book is Graphistudio's stitched, bound volume, printed on Amalfi cotton paper: your strongest images selected, sequenced and bound into a refined photographic book. It comes in a vertical 8×12” (20×30 cm) format of 16 to 48 pages in multiples of four, or a horizontal 15×12” (38.5×30 cm) of 16 to 40 pages in multiples of two.
Covers are chosen from thirty-two colours across five materials (Class Leatherette, Cloud Leatherette, Distressed Leather, Sequoia Leather and Leather), and can be finished with laser engraving, hot-foil debossing, colour overprinting, colour overprinting with raised varnishing, or raised foil. Leather covers can also take a leather tie, wrapped and laced the way Renaissance scrapbooks were. Each book is presented in eco-friendly packaging with a vellum wrap, in Havana, Moka, Chocolate or Cinnamon.
It sits between the lightweight soft back and the lay-flat album: more considered and more tactile than a photo book, lighter and more affordable than a flush-mount. A natural choice when the story matters as much as any single spread.
