A book safe that hides more than just good stories, it hides your secrets (and maybe cocktail recipes)
This upcycled hollow books safe, made from a vibrant red, polka-dotted copy of The Cocktail, has been lovingly handcrafted in my Sydney studio.
Inside, the original lining pages frame a hollowed-out compartment and hidden within is a cheeky surprise: a how to make a pina colada recipe, preserved from the original book.
Book measurements: 14.5cm wide x 18.3cm length x 2.4cm depth
Inside safe: 10.8cm wide x 10.6cm height x 1.8cm depth
Title: The Cocktail
It’s the perfect piece for anyone who loves a mix of books, cocktails, and clever design. Use it to stash bar cash, bottle-openers, favourite recipes, or pop it on display. Store it right on your bookshelf or home bar. From the outside, it’s a fun, vintage-style book, on the inside, it’s your secret hideaway.
Each Vox & Dolly book safe is one-of-a-kind, cut and restored by me from books that would otherwise be discarded. Every one is handpicked for its beauty, content, or quirkiness, because no two stories (or safes) are ever the same.
Whether you’re looking for a gift for a cocktail lover, bookworm, or someone who loves the unexpected, this piece blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and a dash of vintage charm.
Why You’ll Love It:
Unique upcycled gift: A real book turned into hidden storage
One-of-a-kind: Handpicked and handcrafted in Sydney, no two are ever alike
Functional & fun: hide jewellery, cash, or bar tools right on your shelf
Eco-friendly: Made from rescued books given new life
Perfect gift idea: Great for cocktail lovers, vintage fans or book collectors
