Strand Bookstore Book Ornament

Bring a touch of literary New York to your holiday traditions with our Strand Bookstore Book Ornament—a handcrafted tribute to one of the city’s most iconic indie bookstores.

We partnered with the legendary Strand Bookstore — the iconic Manhattan home of “18 miles of books” — to create this one-of-a-kind ornament, filled with the magic of New York City.

Featuring a bold red cover embroidered with the classic Strand logo, this charming three-page book opens to reveal beautifully handcrafted scenes, bursting with whimsical, miniature illustrations of NYC — from yellow taxis and the towering skyline to pigeons delighting in a slice of pizza on a park bench.

Each page is carefully stitched and layered, capturing the spirit and humor of the city in felt. Whether you've wandered the aisles at The Strand or dream of your first NYC trip, this ornament captures the creative spark of a place where stories come alive. A perfect blend of NYC nostalgia and bookish joy!
