The Book of Birkenstock is exactly as the namesake suggests as the large book packs as much information about the iconic brand as it could in 688 pages. Throughout its two-and-a-half centuries, fitting the stories and inspirations into only 688 is quite impressive.
The book is comprised of a wide range of information from historical ads, original design sketches, editorials that made their way to international magazines, marketing materials for campaigns, images of the footwear being worn in real life, and unreleased archival designs. It explores much more than footwear as the brand has created its own heritage rooted in core qualities. The Book of Birkenstock is designed by Bureau Borsche and it is now available to shop online for a reasonable price of only &75.
