Embossing
The process of embossing, also known as blind tooling, consists of pressing a stamp on the wet leather, so a figure forms on the leather.
Please note, that due to its intrinsic characteristics, embossing is not possible on the spine of the Ethiopian journals.

Gilding
Gilding is similar to embossing, but it adds a spark of golden color on your leather. The tool is heated and then pressed on the leather with a layer of golden foil to create the decorated image.
Unfortunately, gilding on the spine is currently not possible for technical reasons.

Inlays
Charms provide color to a journal. The pieces are inserted on a space reserved for them on the cover. Some of them even “pop up”, giving some relief to the journal.
You can choose one of the charms available to be inserted on the front cover of your journal. Some of the charms are unique.
