How the art inserts work
  1. The Ascendant art insert up close: a dragon on the keep at dusk, inside a gold foil frame
    01

    The artwork

    Each insert is illustrated around one scene: a churchyard in snow, a balcony at sunset, a dragon on the battlements.

  2. Close-up of the copper foil roses on the Chained Fate art insert
    02

    Metallic foil

    Copper roses on Chained Fate, silver knotwork on Ascendant. The foil catches the light every time you turn your Kindle.

  3. The corner of the Ascendant art insert on a white table: smooth matte card with a gold foil border
    03

    Thick matte card

    Printed on 350gsm matte card. Not a sticker: no adhesive and no residue, so you can swap it whenever you change books.

  4. The Memento Mori magnetic grip resting on an open book
    04

    The magnetic grip

    The enamel grip snaps onto a magnetic case and slides off to swap. Its own magnetic ring is in the box, so it works on the case you already have.

In motion

Turn it towards the light.

Our own short films of each insert, so you can see the colour and the foil move before it arrives.

A note from our founder

For the love of stories.

The founder of Bind & Co. in Downtown Dubai, with the Burj Khalifa behind
Our founder, at home in Dubai.

Dear reader,

Every trip brought us somewhere new to find. We walked into bookshops in other countries and saw communities built around reading: book clubs, cosy cafés, custom sleeves and quiet little things that made reading feel like an occasion. We kept coming home with the same question. Why doesn’t the GCC have this?

Bind & Co. is our answer: a homegrown UAE brand, made by a reader, for the readers of this region. Each piece is built around one story, so your Kindle can look like the books you love.

With love from Dubai,The founder, Bind & Co.
