Have a beloved book in need of a new cover—or a story waiting to be bound for the very first time? Sting & Snout Bindery offers custom bookbinding services that range from restoring well-loved books to creating fully bespoke bindings from scratch. Each piece is printed, sewn, designed, and assembled entirely by hand.

Every commission is personally crafted by Zita Dela Cruz, the hands and heart behind the bindery. Her work centers on tactile finishes—recessed and embossed details, hand-stitched embroidery, and thoughtful textures that make each book feel as special as the story it holds. Whether it’s a meaningful restoration or a one-of-a-kind creation, your book is in good hands.

Made by hand, with care — from her bindery table to yours.
