Our fabric book envelope currently comes in two designs: the blue pattern used for the endpaper for PB no. 99 Patience (pictured above) and the red pattern used for the endpaper for PB no. 142 As It Was (pictured below).

Each envelope neatly fits a Persephone book inside, except for the very long ones over 600 pages like PB no. 130 National Provincial, where it is a bit of a squeeze. It is a way to gift-wrap books that is kinder to the environment than paper, but the envelopes have a number of other uses too: as a sandwich bag, a make-up bag, or just to keep your current read clean rather than covered in ink or crumbs.

The envelopes have been specially designed for us by Re-Wrap, a social enterprise in south India that manufactures organic cotton products in a way that impacts positively on its women suppliers and employees.
