About Faux Leather Covers

The production process is similar to that of a standard casebound book, with the main difference being the use of faux leather to wrap the cover.

Like cloth cover wrapping, decorative techniques for faux leather are limited to embossing and foil stamping. Due to its classic and luxurious appearance, it’s often used in high-end art books and handheld journals.
