How do you care for a leather bookmark?

Keep it dry and away from direct heat, and wipe it with a soft cloth when needed. An occasional leather conditioner can keep it supple.

Can leather transfer colour onto pages?

Some dyed leathers can rub off on light pages at first, especially when damp. Finished or sealed leather is less likely to do this.

Why handcrafted leather bookmarks make a good gift

Leather softens and develops a patina, so the bookmark gains character over the years.
Debossed initials or a date make it feel personal and considered.
Its understated style works well as a polished gift for a boss or client.

What to look for

Check whether it's genuine or faux leather, since they differ in feel and how they age.
Look at the edges and stitching, as finished edges hold up better than raw cuts.
Confirm the length suits the books they usually read, from paperbacks to large hardcovers.
