 Bookla - Between the Pages
Located in Athens, Greece, this company has a range of interesting textile bookmark designs made in a loom.  From their About page: "Bookla in Greek means a curly lock of hair. In the victorian era it was very common between lovers and friends to exchange locks of hair and use them as bookmarks. We were inspired by the intimacy such a gift can offer and we wanted to translate that with our special designs. We wanted to capture nostalgic feelings, emotions that literature and storytelling can transfer to readers."  Added 7 April 2021
