This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are calfskin, and its bookmark is French goatskin. The book is half-cleathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah, and its boards are wrapped in currency from the United States of America and Nigeria.
The talisman in this book is a silver 19th Century marriage token from France. The marriage token dates back to the 16th century, when it was the custom to bestow 13 coins (Treizian de Mariage, symbolizing the fidelity of Jesus and his 12 disciples) upon one’s intended. History has streamlined this to a single, valuable token, and modern designers such as Christian LaCroix still manufacture these in France.
