Customer photo review of Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

Beautiful embroidery! This fits both the full reading journal and blank journal (also from the the serpents and swords collection). It's a tight fit, but you can zip it up.

Customer photo review of Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

The QC book sleeve looks so gorgeous up close! I'm a huge fan of the soft fabric of the inner pocket, and that the sleeves comes with an exterior zipped pocket for things like writing tools, bookmarks, etc.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

The book sleeve I received is absolutely beautiful. Not only is it lovely to look at, but the materials are clearly high quality, substantial without feeling stiff. The extra pocket is such a thoughtful addition and perfect for keeping pens close by. Mine currently holds an A5 journal and a hardcover TTRPG book with plenty of room to spare, plus pens and dice in the back pocket. The size is absolutely perfect.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

While the embroidery and fabrics are pretty and well done, I was super disappointed to feel how padded this pouch was. It's very thick as a result and doesn't work at all for my intended purpose. If you are using it for a Kindle type product, it's probably good to have the padding, but in case anyone is reading this, please note that it has about an inch thick of very weird feeling foam inside.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

The order process was quick and easy, and the item arrived surprisingly fast given the distance it travelled. My book sleeve looks great and I love it.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

Colours look stunning, uses great materials. Embroidery is really clean. Holds a variety of book sizes. Taking it with me everywhere now!!

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

This is the cutest way to carry around my books, along with the most secure. I love how big it is, I can pretty much put in a 1000 page book and it will fit!

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

Absolutely love this! The embroidery is impeccable and its very nicely cushioned whether you're an e-reader or physical book lover.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

This is so unbelievably beautiful, and soft, and well-made. Its so pretty I don’t want it getting it messed up in my bag…I need a sleeve for my book sleeve

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

In love with this, it feels great and looks gorgeous, and most importantly, it feels like genuine protection for my books!

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

Great service. Can't show photos as it's wrapped up to go under the christmas tree for someone, but it's a lovely product. Great quality and quick delivery from aus to UK. Only annoying thing is too many emails after the purchase, but I've finally worked out how to unsubscribe so that should now stop.

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

One of my new favorite accessories of the year. I love that there is an exterior zip pocket that fits pens, book light (there is room for a kindle and paper book) and glasses. WELL DONE and lucky me!

Serpents & Swords Book Sleeve - Black

I never knew I needed a book sleeve before I had one...I will confess I purchased simply because I'm obsessed with the Serpents & Swords collection aesthetic, but after using it during a business trip last week I'm very impressed with it. It fit a large hardcover book inside it (wheel of time thickness) and I never had to worry about damage to the pages as it tucked easily into my luggage. Not to mention the thing is gorgeous & well constructed of very nice materials. Money well spent.
