Designer Albums

Top 

 

Designer albums are the world’s first hybrid albums, incorporating both mat style pages and edge to edge print mounts within the same presentation. A linen embossed frame surrounds the edges or each page to provide an elegant and formal presentation for each important image. The rounded library spine provides the strongest binding of any album. It ensures that the pages lay flat regardless of where the book is opened or how many pages it contains. A photographic presentation that will outlast all others.

 

You can mount your prints into the album or use our Print & Assemble services and it will arrive completely finished, ready to give to your client.

Mat Options

Designer mats are elegantly embossed with a delicate Linen pattern that is specially coated to resist marks, scuffing and finger oils. Both leaves and mats are made from (pH neutral) paper in one of the most sophisticated yet environmentally friendly processes available. A great feature of the Designer Album is that mats can be changed at any time which make errors easy to correct and displays inexpensive to update.

Natural Grain Leathers are cut from the finest upholstery grade skins available in Australia. Natural Grain means that the texture of the hide is natural, rich and full bodied. The ‘imperfect’ pattern of the hides prove that they are the real thing. They look, smell and feel of quality and character.

As its name implies, ‘distressed’ leathers are anything but consistent.

They are trendy and highly fashionable with many visible and distinct aberrations that give them their unique character and desirability. These characteristics appeal to a trendy - young market!

 

Special Considerations:

Product displays different levels of distress from hide to hide which is part of the nature of this material. Returns related to the high or low degree or the placement of distressed areas of the leather are not accepted under the product warranty.
We highly recommend that you advise your couples of this when they order.
