Not just any boxes, you can personalise them any way you want. Photos, patterns, designs or images can all be put on the box. Ready-made photo boxes from shops often lack in details, not our one’s. We handmake the whole box. No details are spared. The lining, made from a suede material, gives the box a luxury feel.

The photo box shown here is from a couple’s honeymoon. The door in the lid of the box was the honeymoon suite where they stayed whilst in Italy. The bottom of the box is a stone image our in-house designer found. This matches with the picture of the door. A perfect example of thoughtful 1st wedding anniversary gift ideas, it’s been completely customised after a single photo.
