Within the hush of a candlelit study, where shadows curl like smoke against leather-bound spines, The Codex of Gothic Tales awakens. Its violet-toned artwork sprawls across supple full-grain leather in exquisite detail — a gallery of darkness rendered in ink and craft, lined within a sleek black interior that holds your secrets as faithfully as any locked grimoire.
Every clasp, every stitch honors the tradition of stories that were never meant to be read in daylight. Carry the chill of gothic prose wherever the fog-laced cobblestones lead you, a companion piece as haunting and deliberate as the tales that inspired it.
For those who choose their accessories the way they choose their stories — with atmosphere, intention, and a hunger for the beautifully macabre.

Material
Premium Vegan Leather — soft to the touch, water-resistant, and surprisingly durable. Cruelty-free, easy to clean, and the ideal canvas for sharp, saturated print work.
Top-Grain Leather — sourced from Tuscany, Italy. Rich natural grain, grows more beautiful with age, and develops a patina that makes each piece genuinely one of a kind. Earthy leather scent included, free of charge.

Frequently Asked
Before You Order
Yes — Litborne is registered in the United States with our office at 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE Ste N, Albuquerque, NM 87110. The story behind us started at a kitchen table in Brooklyn in 2019 (read it here).
We’re a small, newer brand without decades of marketing behind us. What we offer is a 14-day return window, real customer support at support@litborne.com, secure Shopify checkout, and verified reviews on every product page.
Honest answer: Litborne is a US-registered brand (Albuquerque, NM) that designs each bag — production happens at our workshop partner in Guangzhou, the same region that makes handbags for most of the labels you already own. Each piece is printed and assembled to order (7–9 days), then shipped direct to you (5–7 days). Your shipping label will say China — because it’s true, not because we’re hiding anything. We’re not warehousing finished goods in a Shenzhen storage unit — your bag is made when you order it.
