The “Leela” Book Keeper

A patchwork of memory, stitched with joy.
Leela is a vibrant handcrafted book keeper from the Swans Crossing collection — a tribute to the playfulness of childhood, the beauty of handmade things, and the colorful spirit of stories we carry close.

Crafted from a cheerful mix of playful prints on cotton fabric, this one-of-a-kind piece features florals, gingham, stripes, and polka dots in shades of pink, navy, green, and cream — like a story told through stitches. The interior is lined with a soft floral print, while matching ties wrap your journal or book with care. A vintage-style round button adds the final touch, full of whimsy and warmth.

Inspired by the patchwork bags of schooldays in Fiji, the Leela book keeper is made for writers, dreamers, and slow readers who believe that the small details hold the most magic.
