Capturing the flavour of finely wrought Renaissance-style leather bindings, Paperblanks Midnight Steel Address Book pays homage to the craft of delicate gold tooling, originally introduced to Europe via the flourishing trade routes to the East. The timeless beauty of an antique leather binding is brought into the present on the cover of this deep blue book.

Our Agra journal cover is named for Agra, India, where the Taj Mahal is located. It reproduces a photograph by Gérard Degeorge of one of the Taj Mahal's iconic marble flowers. To carve into marble is to commit to perfection. Any mistake meant the whole slab had to be discarded. Each of these marbled flowers is its own masterwork.

India's Taj Mahal is one of the world's greatest monuments to love. Our Shah cover is named for the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who commissioned the grand mausoleum to house the tomb of his most favoured wife, Mumtaz Mahal. This journal cover reproduces a photograph by Gérard Degeorge of one of the Taj Mahal's iconic marble flowers.

Our Blue Velvet journal design is inspired by a piece of a 15th-century velvet dalmatic. It is decorated in brocaded gilt metal thread with a seven-lobed shield, an artichoke-like botanical shape and tiny floral patterns. Creating a velvet design such as this would have been a painstaking procedure, making this a luxury fabric during the Renaissance.

The Taj Mahal is renowned not just for its soaring symmetry and the breathtaking precision of its construction, but also for the floral forms carved in marble that adorn it. A photograph of one of these iconic flowers is reproduced for our Lahori journal, named for Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who is said to have been the grand mausoleum's chief architect.

Taking their slightly sullen cues from previous artistic movements, the New Romantics of the 1980s brought their hairstyles and attitudes to new prominence. Our Urban Glam guest book celebrates the drama that made the New Romantic movement some of the most ironic good times popular culture has ever had.
