Co-founders’ Letter

Bynd Artisan was founded to celebrate the art and joy of crafting, and to make your gifting experience more meaningful with personalised/customised leather and paper gifts that are timeless and suitable for all occasions while prioritising sustainability and social responsibility. Crafting workshops are also conducted every month for participants to learn a new skill and relish in new experiences.

Over the years, we have had the pleasure of working with many collaborators to create unique, exclusive collections, promote greater vibrancy to the art scene, and encourage creative talents to explore beyond their usual realms. This passion for design extends to corporate gifting with bespoke creations and custom personalisation, enabling clients to share the perfect gift from the heart.

We look forward to sharing with you our joy of gifting and creating new memories through fresh releases, collaborations, curated content, and much more!

With love,
James Quan & Winnie Chan

Rich Heritage of Craftsmanship

The story of Bynd Artisan is inextricably tied to the lives of our master craftsmen and to the legacy of our founding company, which spans a period of over 70 years today.

Through the years, the business of bookbinding has moved inexorably with the progress of technology. Yet at its heart, each and every book began as a hand-designed prototype, created by a small band of craftsmen.

Today, the company’s spirit of artisanal excellence lives on through their work. This holds true even as digital convenience becomes throwaway and immediacy turns into impermanence. It is with today’s thinkers, dreamers and doers that we hope to share the remarkable output of some of Singapore’s greatest practicing craftsmen.

Our Artisans

More than anything, Bynd Artisan is a tribute to the enduring excellence of a small band of locally trained artisans, schooled in the traditional ways of leather working and bookbinding. Through a lifetime of practice and learning, each is a wellspring of experience and knowledge.

From the characteristics of different papers, to the intricacies of thread and wire bindings, covers, fasteners, they understand how all these wonderful details can come together in their hands.
We are proud to be able to share their works with you. Read more stories here.
