From Studio Table to Shelves 🤍

There are some emails you open and just know something special is unfolding.

Supplying The Ink Pot with Kind Stitch Studio book sleeves is one of those moments.

KSS has always been about slow, thoughtful making — pieces stitched with care, designed for quiet rituals. Morning coffees. Dog-eared pages. Chapters read before bed. And now, knowing our handmade book sleeves and bookmarks will sit inside a beautiful bookshop, ready to be discovered by fellow book lovers? That feels incredibly full circle.

Why this feels special

Books have always been more than books.
They’re comfort. Escape. Learning. Rest.

Our book sleeves were designed to protect well-loved paperbacks from life in tote bags and backpacks.

Seeing them stocked in a space dedicated to stories feels aligned in the best way.

Thoughtfully made in Ōtepoti

Every sleeve and bookmark supplied to The Ink Pot has been:

• Designed and sewn in Ōtepoti, Dunedin
• Made in small batches
• Created with carefully chosen fabrics
• Finished by hand

No mass production. No rush. Just intentional stitching and a lot of love.

A little milestone for KSS

This feels like one of those “quiet wins” in small business. The kind you don’t shout about too loudly because you’re still soaking it in.

From sewing at home to supplying a bookshop — it’s a reminder that small, consistent steps add up.

If you’re local, keep an eye out for Kind Stitch Studio at The Ink Pot 🤍
And if you’re supporting KSS from afar, just know your encouragement is stitched into every single piece.

More to come.
