The Symbol of Nature and Homecoming Invites Itself Into Your Reading

Dear fans of authentic design, let yourself be transported by the alliance of tradition and texture: the swallow (andorinha) and cork! At Portugal In Box, we celebrate sustainable craftsmanship with this exceptional piece by Edições 19 de Abril: the Swallow Bookmark. Available in a classic cardstock version or in natural cork, it is the essential accessory for book lovers seeking an object that is eco-responsible, stylish, and deeply meaningful.

An Organic Design, An Eternal Meaning

The swallow is more than just a graceful bird; it is the heart of Portugal—a symbol of loyalty, family, and infinite love. This modern bookmark captures that poetry with an innovative approach. Beyond standard models, the swallow cork bookmark version offers a unique, velvety texture, making each piece singular. The minimalist design, whether on raw cork or contrasted with black and blue, fits perfectly into any contemporary library. Built to last, this cork or high-density cardstock support reflects the resilience and beauty of Lusitanian heritage.

A Unique Alliance: Natural Cork & Azulejos

This bookmark is a true celebration of the land, uniting cork—the treasure of our forests—with the country's most cherished symbols. The Black Swallows soar with timeless lightness, evoking freedom and the return home. On the cork version, their stylized silhouette offers a striking organic contrast. On the Azulejo Blue version, the radiance of the traditional tiles enhances the look, recalling the history engraved on the walls of Lisbon. This fusion between the nobility of cork and the depth of blue creates an object that is both raw and sophisticated—an ethical fashion statement at the service of culture.

The Reading Ritual: Serenity Between Your Pages

For any bibliophile, dog-earing a page is unthinkable! Rather than altering your books, slip in the softness of cork or the brilliance of Azulejos. Thanks to the Swallow Bookmark, say goodbye to folded corners and unsightly marks. The natural cork model brings a tactile and warm dimension to your quiet moments, while the blue version offers immediate visual refinement. It is the perfect alternative to protect your novels while infusing them with a Portuguese soul. At every chapter, the swallow, protector of the home, welcomes you back and invites you to continue your literary journey.

Technical Details: Noble Materials and Robustness

The manufacturing quality of this collection ensures resistance to time and repeated readings. The classic version is printed on sturdy 380g cardstock with a UV varnish finish for maximum brilliance. Meanwhile, the cork bookmark uses a thin layer of genuine cork, flexible and tear-resistant, offering natural suppleness. With its 20 × 5.5 cm dimensions, it is ideally proportioned to remain visible without ever damaging the binding. Every detail, from laser cutting to high-definition printing, is designed to combine practicality, durability, and sensory pleasure.

The Ideal Gift for Bibliophiles and the Eco-Conscious
