This hollow book safe has been lovingly upcycled from a vintage red hardcover edition of The Wind in the Willows, complete with gold embossed detailing on the cover that feels like it’s straight from a cosy storybook cottage.
Open it up to reveal a beautifully coordinating mustard lining, leading to a carefully carved secret hollow compartment that features a charming Toad illustration inside - a little nod to adventure, mischief, and woodland whimsy.
Book measurements: 14.5cm wide x 20.7cm length x 2.8cm depth
Inside safe: 10.8cm wide x 16.8cm height x 2.1cm depth
Title: The Wind in the Willows
Use it to tuck away jewellery, keepsakes, letters, photos, spare keys, cash or any small treasures that deserve a hiding place only you know about. Display it standing among your favourite childhood classics, stacked on a coffee table, or nestled on a nursery shelf. It blends in effortlessly, appearing just like a beloved book…until opened.
Each book safe in my collection is one-of-a-kind - handpicked for its beauty, story, and personality, then rescued and transformed by hand in my Inner West Sydney studio. Saving books from landfill and giving them a new purpose is at the heart of what I do, and each piece is made to feel meaningful, personal and magical.
This one is especially lovely for:
A timeless story on the outside, a little secret on the inside.
