Bespoke & Bound Hallmark

Testimonials

At a time when memories and images tend to exist almost exclusively on our phones, the charm and consideration of a beautiful hand-made, leather bound book to record special moments stands out. Bespoke & Bounds's attention to detail shines through, and these beautiful albums are always well received and make spectacular gifts.

Wow! What an album, words cannot express how great our wedding album is. A great pleasure to work with you - if i could give 10 stars i would. Words can not express how blown away we are, everything about the album is perfect in every way possible.

We can not thank you enough.

I just wanted to thank you so much for the book you produced of my art collection. It is absolutely spectacular.

The quality of the leather, the pages, the reproduction of the artworks, the design and the overall product is absolutely sensational.

I have never seen a more beautiful or sumptuous book/catalogue.

I am totally thrilled.

Thank you so much.

The week before Xmas I had a last minute order from a client who wanted an album putting together. It had to be the absolute finest quality and it had to be ready as soon as possible. After spending ages looking for someone who could do all that I finally found Gareth at B&B. Gareth and his team pulled out all the stops and delivered exactly what the client wanted. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending B&B to anyone wanting the best products and the best service.

Having been invited to a French Family wedding and we wanted to give the Wedding Couple something very English and something they could keep forever and a Bespoke and Bound fitted the bill!

The couple were ecstatic when they received the album, wrapped up Beautifully, embossed in gold on pure White leather, the bound pages interleaved with beautiful Japanese handmade paper.

It was such precious gift.

The couple decided to leave the album at the church and at the Reception and the guests wrote well wishes for them in the opening pages.

All together it made the best wedding gift.

I selected Bespoke & Bound to produce my wedding album after being immediately impressed by their website. A personal call, on a Saturday, in response to my enquiry convinced me further! The process was a complete pleasure! I sent my photos over and between us we iterated an album that reflects my special day perfectly. I can't thank Gareth enough for his help, his tolerance of all my alterations, and the beautiful album I now have!

When it arrived I was both excited and nervous! I needn't have been! It is the most beautiful memory of my wedding day and I am incredibly grateful to Bespoke & Bound for capturing it!

Thanks again! I would not hesitate to both recommend you and come back to you in future.

Dear Bespoke and Bound

We gave our daughter the bespoke leather address book on her Birthday and watched her unwrap it.........She absolutely loved it. Lots of tears. It really is beautiful. Thank you so much for making something so special.

You are clever....Its a perfect match for the Wedding album we gave her last year.

My daughters surprised me with a Bespoke & Bound Album to celebrate my 60th Birthday.  Unbeknown to me, they had asked friends and family to send in photographs of us together over the years and to also write something to go in the Album.

I was absolutely overwhelmed on my birthday to open a present and find this absolutely stunningly beautiful Album with fabulous thick pages with so many photographs and written memories.  Needless to say, I could barely see the album through my tears!

I go back over the Album frequently and each time, I find something new to see or read.

The care that Gareth took in putting this together and the patience he showed to my daughters whilst compiling it was astounding.

I can't wait to be 70 to get another one!

Thank you Bespoke & Bound.

Our design company were looking for a book binding option that said luxury and the Bespoke and Bound hand crafted covers were perfect for this. Also, as the client was the FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale), so the link between the bridle leather used by Bespoke and Bound, and the leather used by equestrian saddlers was perfect. The process worked really well. Both years running the turnaround times were tight (but almost ridiculously tight the second year), and throughout Gareth was calm, reassuring and did everything he could to ensure that we hit our deadline. It was great to work with a 'supplier' where there was never any worry about the final product being delivered on time and to an incredibly high standard.

The annual report became a piece of work to be valued rather than just another report, and they looked ace!

We decided to go with Bespoke and Bound because we were looking for a Wedding Album that was different, something unique. We wanted an album that was well made and would last a lifetime and more.

The process took time but that was due to the demands that we were making, which were all met by your hard work. We were delighted with the communication throughout. Every change we asked for was sent back to us for approval before the final product was made.We were extremely happy with the final product. We were delighted with your creative mind and the help you gave us to make changes for the better, from our original ideas.

We were so excited once we had heard it was on it's way. When it arrived we were amazed with the quality and detail, it was all beyond our expectations. We have been showing it off to family and friends, everyone has been impressed by it.

Thanks again for all your efforts. We look forward to the next time we have an opportunity to work with you.

My organisation was looking for a unique and extremely high quality album that would be expected to last more than 100 years as a historical record. Bespoke & Bound delivered, on time and on spec, we now have a historical record that will in future pass into the National Archives and be available to historians and researchers for decades to come.

From our very first meeting I was confident that Bespoke & Bound would deliver. Acutely aware of the customers’ needs and sensitive to change you could not wish for a more accommodating company.

When I first saw the completed album my first reaction was relief, relief that all my expectations were met. Everyone who has seen this album has commented on the extremely high quality of its finish and appreciated the craftsmanship that has gone into its creation.

Hi Gareth, my husband went through the whole album, and he had tears in his eyes. Thank you so much for all your hard work and thoughtfulness -- you really captured the day. I absolutely love the cover and how the de-bossing turned out! The shading on the letters and everything is just stunning.

Bespoke and Bound managed to provide my family and I with a permanent and high quality record of the most incredible holiday of our lives. Professional editing of thousands of photos by a top professional really helped us select the 100 or so worthy of encapsulating our trip and working them into a truly exceptional embossed and bound thing of beauty. I cannot really do justice to the standard other than by saying that the end product is like your most treasured item of furniture, beautiful, hard wearing and finished to the highest quality.

We are delighted with our leather wedding album. The quality of the materials exceeded our expectations, whilst the editing Bespoke & Bound did saved us hours of difficult decision making. I would recommend them without hesitation.

We needed a portfolio to show off our limited edition covers at the ICFF design show in New York. What Bespoke & Bound produced was beautiful - it looked fantastic at the exhibition, and we'll be using it again and again for future projects. Thank you very much.
