Café Des Amis

Can’t have coffee with a friend? A letter will have to do. This address book is inspired by the colors and textures of coffee. The stamps are handmade and stamped with two shades of brown ink. The address pages, as well as the dividing tabs, are handmade and then hand stitched. The cover is genuine leather in red, distressed brown, and another red in a faux croc print stamped with ink. I added a pocket on the back cover for the owner to keep stamps or letters. It is made from an envelope embellished with a rubber stamp of script and international postal stamps in red and brown.
