Our Agra journal cover is named for Agra, India, where the Taj Mahal is located. It reproduces a photograph by Gerard Degeorge of one of the Taj Mahal's iconic marble flowers. To carve into marble is to commit to perfection. Any mistake meant the whole slab had to be discarded. Each of these marbled flowers is its own masterwork.

The Taj Mahal is renowned not just for its soaring symmetry and the breathtaking precision of its construction, but also for the floral forms carved in marble that adorn it. A photograph of one of these iconic flowers is reproduced for our Lahori journal, named for Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who is said to have been the grand mausoleum's chief architect.

Our Blue Velvet journal design is inspired by a piece of a 15th-century velvet dalmatic. It is decorated in brocaded gilt metal thread with a seven-lobed shield, an artichoke-like botanical shape and tiny floral patterns. Creating a velvet design such as this would have been a painstaking procedure, making this a luxury fabric during the Renaissance.

India's Taj Mahal is one of the world's greatest monuments to love. Our Shah cover is named for the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who commissioned the grand mausoleum to house the tomb of his most favoured wife, Mumtaz Mahal. This journal cover reproduces a photograph by Gérard Degeorge of one of the Taj Mahal's iconic marble flowers.
