Company History
Origin: An encounter in an antique market
We were born out of an accidental discovery. The founder found a 19th-century brass book clip in an antique market. It has been through the years but is still exquisite. It holds yellowed pages, as if hiding countless stories. At that moment, we realized that books are not only carriers of knowledge, but also witnesses of time. And an elegant book clip can make the ritual of reading more complete.
So, we decided to revive this forgotten stationery art so that modern people can also feel the elegance and warmth of classical reading.
Craftsmanship: From retro to eternal
We visited many antique stationery workshops and learned the ancient metal forging process from traditional craftsmen. The design of each book clip refers to classic elements, but we also incorporate modern practical designs to make it not only beautiful, but also able to firmly clamp books.
Our persistence:
✔ Hand-polishing: Some high-end series are still hand-polished by craftsmen to ensure that every detail is perfect
✔ Anti-rust treatment: Anti-oxidation coating is used to make the metal last longer
✔ Comfortable opening and closing: Optimize the mechanical structure to avoid the problem of traditional book clips pinching hands or damaging book pages
Mission: Make reading an art
In this era of electronic reading, we believe that paper books still have irreplaceable charm. A retro metal book clip is not only a practical tool, but also a tribute to the ritual of reading.
We hope that through our products:
📖 Let book lovers enjoy the exquisite touch when turning pages
📖 Let collectors have stationery artworks worth inheriting
📖 Let desks and study rooms have more retro aesthetics
Future: Writing a new chapter
From the initial small studio to being collected by retro stationery enthusiasts around the world, we have never forgotten our original intention. In the future, we plan to:
🔸 Launch more historical reproduction series (such as medieval Gothic style and Renaissance carved models)
🔸 Cooperate with independent bookstores and illustrators to launch co-branded limited editions
🔸 Explore sustainable metal craftsmanship to reduce the impact of production on the environment
Thank you for being a part of our story.
Let us use the temperature of metal to capture the traces of time together.
Make books no longer scattered and make reading more focused
