When we first visited Buddha-Bar Paris, we noticed something: the menu covers didn’t match the rest of the experience. They were made from PU leather, a material that wears out easily and isn’t sustainable. The logos weren’t sharp. The covers stained quickly. They just didn’t feel as luxurious as everything else inside Buddha-Bar.

The team there felt the same. They knew the menus needed an upgrade, something beautiful, durable and sustainable. A menu guests would love to touch and see the brand shine.

They trusted us to find the solution.

At MasterFold, we live for these moments.
Our creative team, together with the branding experts from Brand Master got to work.

Here’s what we created:

• Recycled leather, not PU.
  A premium material that feels like real leather but gives a second life to leather scraps. Strong, sustainable and beautiful.
• Selected colors to match the restaurant’s renovation: deep black, navy blue, rich red.
  Everything perfectly harmonized with Buddha-Bar’s mood.
• Hard covers with extra-strong 3mm board inside.
  So the menus last longer even with daily use.
• Golden metal corners, protecting the most fragile parts and adding a touch of elegance.
• Shiny gold foil logo, made with traditional hot stamping.
  To highlight every detail of the Buddha-Bar identity and sparkle in the dim light.
• Flexible binding systems:
  • Elastic band in gold for the restaurant menu (easy to add or remove pages).
  • Magnet binding for the wine list (minimal and strong, no extra accessories needed).

Every choice was made to fit Buddha-Bar’s maximal, glamorous and timeless style while respecting modern needs for durability and sustainability.

The new menu covers arrived in Paris and the difference was instant.
Guests feel it the moment they touch the menu: soft, rich and full of character.

The Buddha-Bar team was thrilled.
Their brand now speaks clearly at every touchpoint: luxury, authenticity, responsibility.

At MasterFold, we are proud to be part of this transformation.
Because sometimes, a simple object like a menu cover can tell the whole story of a brand.

In the words of their team:

“From the moment we opened the package, we were struck by the elegance and craftsmanship—these covers exude sophistication and quality. Not only are they visually stunning, but they’re also incredibly durable. Even after months of use, they look as good as new. Beyond the product itself, MasterFold’s customer service is second to none. Their team was reactive, professional, and incredibly efficient, guiding us through every step of the ordering process.”
