Bookmarks (Set of 5)

The oldest known bookmark in India, dates back to the 16th century, it was crafted from ivory and adorned with intricate geometric perforations. This elegant artifact reflects a tradition where even the simplest tools of daily life were elevated into miniature works of art. At Almirah Stories, we carry forward that same spirit-transforming everyday rituals into moments of heritage and intention.

Witty & Winged Bookmarks are designed in that tradition: not merely functional, but thoughtful keepsakes that connect the past to the present. Shaped like playing cards with witty sayings on the back, they’re crafted to spark a smile while keeping your page safe.

Each bookmark features hand-illustrated depictions of India’s endangered species; the Himalayan Quail, Finn’s Weaver Bird, Forest Owlet, Damselfly, and Green Peafowl-gentle reminders of the fragile beauty we’re called to protect.

More than page-holders, these bookmarks are conversation pieces, small treasures for book lovers, and meaningful gifts. They embody handcrafted heritage for modern living, reminding us that even the smallest object can carry a story.
