Sporting some pretty neat Wiro binding Type and Story’s sleek Lookbooks looked picture perfect on display at the London Stationery Show. Wiro Binding is an interesting way to add something a little different to your Lookbooks and their lay flat designs mean that if you’re exhibiting, you can open your pages to display what’s inside.

These bright, bold Lookbooks from Amara showcase their summer collection, all neatly bound into a Perfect Bound Brochure. We grabbed the opportunity to ask the Head of Events and Corporate Partnerships, Karen Waddilove, a bit about Amara’s Lookbooks, and here’s what she had to say:

“We create our look books for our A by Amara collection as well as seasonal events like Christmas. The aim of the Lookbook is to create a document that includes all of our newest products to send out to our press and media contacts to help promote the brand and increase our press coverage.

As an online retailer, we have to place a strong focus on material and content to support our brand and give clarity and understanding on our digital platforms. That said it is very important for us to be seen in the physical sense, to connect with our customers; print still has a relevance bringing our brand to life.  We feel that print is a personal and tactile choice to help build that relationship with our contacts both commercially and domestically.”
