There's something wonderfully nostalgic about old schoolgirl books, and this vintage copy of Marie Macleod Schoolgirl has all the charm to prove it.
Carefully upcycled into a hidden book safe, it now offers a discreet little place to store jewellery, keepsakes, or small valuables while still looking right at home on a bookshelf or bedside table. The illustrated spine and cover give it a sweet vintage feel, while inside the book has been reinvented with new lining pages, ribbon detail, and hollowed compartment.
It's the kind of piece that feels both practical and personal. Something lovely to display, but with a hidden purpose tucked inside. Each one is carefully handmade in my Inner West Sydney studio, giving this vintage book a second life.

This is a real book that has been carefully hollowed out, not a decorative box made to look like one. The pages are sealed, so the book keeps its shape while creating a practical hidden compartment inside.
Because each book is upcycled, small signs of its previous life can sometimes remain, which only adds to the character.
All book safes are individually handmade by me, never dropshipped. Each one is checked before it leaves the studio.
You’ll receive the book safe only. Any accessories shown in styling photos aren’t included unless otherwise stated.
