Semi-bespoke Ex-Libris gift card - how it worksUpdated 4 months ago

You’ve received a gift card for a semi-bespoke ex-libris — a personalized creation featuring your name, initials, or a phrase of your choice, adapted from one of our existing illustrations.

Here’s how to proceed:


1. Choose your favorite design

Browse our collection of semi-bespoke models and choose the one you love most.
Each illustration is an original creation by our illustrator Lauren, ready to be adapted with your personalized text.


2. Place your order

On the product page of your selected model:

  • Enter the text to be engraved (name, initials, phrase…). This will replace the name shown in the example.

  • Add any helpful notes (capital letters, accents, etc.)

  • Enter your gift card code at checkout — no payment will be required.


3. Find your gift card code

Make sure you have your gift card code (a combination of letters and numbers), which was sent by email to the person who offered you this gift.

You’ll be asked to enter it at the payment step when placing your order.


4. Engraving & shipping

Once your order is confirmed, we will integrate your text into the chosen design, prepare the engraving file, and proceed with production in our Parisian workshop.
Engraving takes approximately 7 business days.
Your ex-libris will then be carefully packaged and shipped to the address of your choice.


✨ Want to upgrade?

Alternatively, if you'd like to convert your semi-bespoke ex-libris into a custom-made one, you can simply pay the difference. Contact us at [email protected] with the details of your gift card.
