Libri Multi Small Notebook with Gold Leaf - Sleeping Beauty

The cover of La Belle au Bois Dormant — Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty — is reimagined here in the folk-art tradition: roses growing from hearts rooted in the ground, rendered in pale blush and sage green on a soft blue ground, the title set in a hand-drawn cartouche. Part of Slow's Libri Muti (Mute Books) series, this smaller-format edition is made entirely by hand in Florence using traditional printing and bookbinding techniques that Founders Roberto di Filitto and Nathalie Schneider have spent years researching and reviving.

The binding spine is covered in gold leaf, the page edges hand-coloured in blue. Pages are PEFC-certified and acid-free.
