Design Your Own Book

A handbound notebook, journal, or sketchbook, built around your choices — not picked off a shelf.

  1. Build your design. Pick a size, paper, and cover colour below — add any extra requests in the notes.
  2. Send it to the studio. One button turns your choices into an email, already written for you.
  3. Get your quote. Suzete confirms materials, price, and timeline before anything is cut.

Size & format

Pocket-sized for a bag, A5 for a daily journal, or A4 for a sketchbook or guest book.

Paper & layout

What the inside pages should do.

Cover colour

Good to know

How is pricing worked out?

Every book is quoted individually, based on size, materials, and any personalisation you've asked for — there's no fixed price list. You'll always see the full price before any work begins.

How long does it take?

Custom orders typically take 3 weeks to 2 months for creation and shipment, depending on complexity and the studio's schedule at the time.

What if I'm not sure about everything yet?

That's completely fine — choose what you know and describe the rest in the notes. Suzete will talk it through with you before anything is finalised.
