Timeless Classics

Timeless Classics, an editorial collection of female classics

Timeless Classics is a collection of classic novels that, according to its presentation, brings together a selection of works that revolutionised the female universe. The collection includes titles by authors such as Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Louisa May Alcott, Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Gaskell, Kate Chopin, George Eliot, Lucy Maud Montgomery and Nathaniel Hawthorne, among others. Each issue is distributed by subscription and is designed to occupy a permanent place on bookshelves.

An editorial project with illustrations and finishes inspired by the Victorian era

The collection is presented as an editorial treasure: the covers feature illustrations with gold embossing, inspired by naturalistic motifs of the Victorian era, which extend across the front and back covers and the spine. The design aims to transform each book into a unique and carefully crafted object.
