Books
Fashion house stories.
Illustrated coffee table books from the Little Book series, telling the stories of fashion houses Versace and Burberry in 160 pages each.
A coffee table book adds personality to a living room and gives guests something to pick up. Our books come from the Little Book series, compact illustrated histories of major fashion houses. Each has 160 pages and measures 13.3cm by 19.1cm, so it fits easily on a tray, shelf or bedside table.
The Little Book of Versace, written by Laia Farran Graves, traces the brand from its founding by Gianni Versace in 1978, with red carpet moments, key pieces and catwalk shows. The Little Book of Burberry, written by Darla-Jane Gilroy, follows the house from 1856 to its current designs, with photographs of finished pieces, close-up details and styled shots.
Stacked in twos or threes, fashion books add colour and height to a styled surface. Place them under a candle on a coffee table, beside a marble tray, or on a console table in the hallway. They also make a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in fashion and design.
A guide to our books
How to style coffee table books
Stack two or three books horizontally, largest at the bottom, and place a small object on top, such as a candle, a decorative box or a small vase. This creates a riser that adds height to an otherwise flat table.
Because the Little Book titles are compact, they work well on narrower surfaces like bedside tables, console tables and shelves. Group them by colour or by fashion house, and turn the spines outwards so the titles can be read. Swap the top book every few weeks to keep the display feeling new.
A gift for fashion lovers
The Little Book series makes an easy gift for birthdays and occasions. Each title is a well illustrated introduction to one fashion house, combining history with images of the clothes, accessories and catwalks.
Pair a book with a decorative tray, a candle holder or a faux leather jewellery box for a styled gift set. The product pages note that other titles in the series include Dior, Chanel, Prada and Gucci, so check availability if you want to build a collection.
