About The Eloise Bindery

The Eloise Bindery

Colourful and contemporary hand bound books and stationery

The Eloise Bindery is a small bookbinding studio based in Birmingham, UK, established in 2013 by Eloise Lee.

Eloise is passionate about creating beautifully bound books that are designed to be filled to the brim with ideas, memories and creativity. The books are made using a variety of traditional techniques, complimented by colourful, contemporary designs. The books are perfect for drawing, writing, painting, traveling and scrap-booking. Eloise specialises in exposed spine bindings, as she believes the stitching is too pretty to hide!

Eloise's product range includes sketchbooks, journals, notebooks, guest books, photo albums, cards, gift tags, stickers and other stationery items. Her client base include artists, writers, and prospective brides and grooms.

All the books are cut, folded, glued, pressed and sewn by hand. Eloise's photographs form the designs for the bindery's stationery, and it is all printed in house. Eloise occasionally uses handmade felt covers for her books, the felt is made using a wet felting technique with dyed merino wool.

Eloise began bookbinding in 2009 by making photo books whilst studying Photography at university. She immediately fell in love with the binding process, and finally found time to open her shop in 2013. Eloise also works as a medical photographer and spends her free time running up mountains. Eloise is inspired by her love for nature, the outdoors, mountains and the sea.
