We love working with a partner that shares the same high standard we believe in…
La-Vie Albums offer an edgy twist on today’s coffee table book. We fell in love with our first sample and it lasted ever since. The stunning “one-off” designs are created by Japanese artisans to ensure the individuality of each book. After years of our ongoing relationship with La-Vie, we are continuously amazed every time we receive a client album for inspection; by the quality, craftsmanship and design that is sure to “wow” everyone. La-Vie continuously perfects their design, offering an astonishing variety of exciting colors, textures and cover designs for their hardcover books. Those of our clients who prefer leather, praise La-Vie’s stitched leather covers and their newest addition of Spanish Leather has been making quite an impression. No matter what your fancy, this is an absolutely singular album experience.
Each album is completely and individually custom designed. The layout is created to tell the story of your wedding day in a way that is deeply personal and uniquely yours. Entirely hand made and assembled in Japan by an artisan, your album will carry the intangible touch of the centuries old Japanese craftsmanship legacy. The “story within a panorama” and the quad-fold pages are La-Vie’s signature. As your album gets assembled, each photograph is trimmed and meticulously inlaid into the hand-cut mats, using nothing more than handheld “X-Acto” knives and the precision of a trained eye. Later, entire pages are coated one by one with an archival varnish to protect this precious book for generations. Its fingerprint resistant surface makes the album easy to handle. At the same time, the pages feel “real” and “organic”, with a very tactile appearance and subtle texture of the mat. Real photographs are used for best photographic quality, giving the album a refined look.
Each book arrives in its own, heavy weight protective sleeve and La-Vie’s signature orange box.
