The Stamps

Each issue of Bon Vivant has a collection of ink stamps serving as chapter headers and adorning the back cover. Every stamp is a physical item we found on that issue’s journey that we feel represents what we discovered along the way. Back at BV headquarters, we hand pressed most of the items into indigo ink, then onto paper to create each stamp.

As you can imagine, some items work better than others, and some require us to get creative (i.e. the Alaskan benchmark from Issue 6). But when all is said and done, we love the personal connection to each stamp and the keepsake that made them; great little Easter eggs strengthening the identity of every issue.
