Using the most beautiful fabrics from around the world to design and handcraft each book, we appeal to the tastes of the most sophisticated customer. From conception to customer, each Couture Book piece stands alone on the strengths of its design and artistry and reflects our stan- dard of superlative quality and care.

Giving back is an integral part of who we are and the way we do business. At the end of your Couture Book experience, we ask you to choose a charity through our “Build a Better World” program. COUTURE BOOK is proud to donate part of the proceeds from your book to chari- ties that are making difference. The COUTURE BOOK brand stands for more than the creation of beautiful books, it symbolizes our commitment to you, to our community, to our country, our planet... Together we can build a new world

The Difference

Our smyth sewn binding technique is unique in the industry, and you won’t find it anywhere else, unless you buy a published book in a bookstore. We carefully hand fold each page into signatures, and sew each signature together to make a super strong binding. We then glue the binding with an archival glue to ensure longevity and flexibility.

What this means for you is that your book can be up to 300 pages (sides) or more, and it still allows your book to lay open flat. Other companies use an adhesive or side-stitched binding that clamps the book block together preventing the book from laying flat. Our binding method is the superior quality, and has been used in traditional bookbinding for generations.
