What do you find in our accessories?

Apart from two items, this shelf is about reading rather than tea. This is what's on it:

  • Bookmarks in metal, acrylic and with a real crystal attached
  • Paper goods: annotation tabs, reading lists, a booktracker and stickers
  • Booksleeves to carry your book in
  • Shelf decor: hanging bookends, a sleeping dragon, a reading fairy and photo frames
  • Mugs for while you read
  • For the tea: a gold tea strainer and a wooden honey spoon

Prices are listed with each item. Most of it is small and light, so it easily fits alongside an order.

Bookmarks in metal, acrylic and crystal

There are four kinds, and the difference lies in the material.

Metal. For anyone who wants one that lasts for years, such as the Metal Bloom and the butterfly bookmarks.

Transparent acrylic with an illustration, including De kleine prins, Fourth Wing and a spooky one for autumn.

Minis with a Monet motif in six colours. Small enough to keep several in different books at once.

Crystal. Four designs with a real crystal attached: aura quartz, green aventurine, rose quartz and black obsidian. Those are sold loose from a display.

What is a booksleeve?

A booksleeve is a padded cover you slip your book into when it comes along in your bag. It protects the cover and corners from bumps, scratches and a leaking water bottle. Anyone who has ever carried a hardcover in a backpack knows why it exists.

Our luxury models are handmade by BookBijou. They have a soft lining and a bow closure, and are made to fit a hardcover. Because they're made by hand, no two are exactly alike. We also have lighter sleeves that do the same job.

Don't confuse a booksleeve with a book-shaped bag. The latter is a handbag that looks like a book, while a booksleeve is a cover for a real book.

Annotation tabs, reading lists and stickers

For many readers, annotating is part of reading. You stick a tab on the page where something happens. Later you can find those moments straight away, without having written in your book. Our tabs come in Burgundy Shades and Green Dream.

Alongside those, there are reading lists and a booktracker to keep track of what you've read. And stickers, in three sizes.

A small gift for a reader

This is the shelf for the gift that doesn't need an occasion. A little something extra when you're giving a book anyway, or a birthday present that doesn't get out of hand. A bookmark or a pad of tabs goes down well with almost every reader.

Aiming higher? Then a booksleeve or a hanging bookend is a gift that lasts. Tick the box in your cart to say it's a gift and we'll wrap it for you.

Buying accessories in Rotterdam

Everything listed here is also in our shop on Van Oldenbarneveltstraat 142A in Rotterdam. With bookmarks and tabs, that really makes a difference. You can see how thick the metal is and how bright the colour of a tab is. And you can feel how a mug sits in your hand.

You can simply order here online. Looking for a bigger gift? Then take a look at the book-shaped handbags or the book nooks.

Frequently asked questions about our accessories

What is a booksleeve and what do you use it for?

A padded cover for carrying your book. It protects the cover and corners when the book comes along in a bag. Our luxury models are handmade, have a bow closure and are made to fit a hardcover.

What is the difference between a booksleeve and a book-shaped bag?

A booksleeve is a cover for a real book. A book-shaped bag is a handbag that looks like a book. You put your phone and cards in it. Those are in the book-shaped bags collection.

How much do your bookmarks cost?

That depends on the material. There are four kinds: metal, transparent acrylic with an illustration, minis with a Monet motif, and crystal. The price is listed with each item.

What are annotation tabs?

Small coloured adhesive strips that let you mark a page without writing on it. Handy for finding later what struck you or what you wanted to remember. They come in two colour schemes.

Do your booksleeves fit a paperback?

They're made to the size of a hardcover. If you're not sure whether your book will fit, just measure it. You can also bring it to the shop, and we'll try it together.

Do I need to drill for the hanging book stand?

No. The gothic book stand hangs over the edge of your shelf, so you don't need to attach anything. It has a small light inside for atmosphere. There are two versions, one with a little lantern and one with a Halloween light.

Do you also sell tea accessories?

This collection includes a gold tea strainer and a wooden honey dipper. The tea itself is in loose leaf tea and the tea tins.

Can you gift-wrap it?

Yes. Tick the box in your cart to say it's a gift, or ask in the shop. Every parcel leaves with care anyway.
