elebo designs & Bound to Love Them
A micro batch of three. Each a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.
Hand-bound by Lou from Bound to Love Them, and wrapped in fabric printed with my original designs. Each sketchbook is a small celebration of slow, intentional making.
When slow meets slow something beautiful happens.
It all started with a DM…and a shared love for thoughtful design
When Lou and I connected, we instantly realised we spoke the same language: slow, intentional craftsmanship.
Both of us believe that beautiful things take time: that design is a practice of patience.
So we joined forces to create something that felt real.
Lou brought her craftsmanship and care to every cut and stitch. I added my patterns and fabric design to wrap each cover.
Together, we created something tactile, purposeful, and made to last.
Slow is where the magic happens
This collaboration is a small reminder that good things take time.
That design can be both beautiful and kind.
And that when two makers with shared values come together, the result isn’t just a product: it’s a story stitched, printed, and bound with care.
At elebo designs, that’s what we stand for: creating pieces that honour people, process, and planet.
The sketchbooks
Each hand-bound sketchbook features:
A soft fabric cover printed with an elebo designs artwork.
Hand-cut pages and exposed stitching.
A story stitched into every seam.
Only three exist in the world.
Each one slightly different, because that’s the beauty of handmade.
Why we make slow
In a world that moves fast, we believe in slowing down.
Every elebo designs creation - whether a scarf, a sketchbook, or a print - is made to order or in small batches to minimise waste.
Because style, story, and sustainability should always go hand in hand.
