X Libris

Speak to your library in their love language.

An ex-libris, once a simple printed label of ownership, became high fashion in late-Victorian England and Europe, blending craft with a touch of discreet personal pride. Reviving this tradition opens the question of how posterity will perceive our personal libraries and collections.

Our talented team of graphic artists painstakingly rendered these classic bookplates in our trademark hyper-saturated color palette. We chose the intensity of these contemporary colors, knowing that between the process of printing and the aging of your library, the edgy hues will settle organically. So, do expect some variance in color balance and saturation.

Presenting Our X Libris Collections as Greeting Cards

We’re currently printing our designs as greeting card sets as well as bookprints. Naturally, the greeting cards can double as thoughtful gifts for your correspondents’ libraries—provided the sender doesn’t scribble on too memorably. Or, better yet, perhaps so memorably that your words become a permanent bookmark in their favorite books.
