Stammbuch
Book of Life
The “Book of Life” will keep you organised and prepared. Bound with a dual screw mechanism, it contains one passport sleeve, fitting 4 passports and 7 copy safe, transparent sleeves for all your important personal documents. It is the perfect place to store your and your family’s birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports and all those other critical “life” documents which you cannot afford to lose and deserve a special place of their own. Never again will you need to search for these precious documents. They will remain forever organised and available at a moment’s notice.
Stammbuch Creator
Kerstin Hemphill
Kerstin came to South Africa in 2007 and, as many Germans do, she fell in love with the country, with all its magic and oh-so-many quirks. While becoming familiar with “just now” and “Africa time”, she approached her bureaucratic challenges such as dual nationality for her children, temporary and permanent visa applications armed with her Stammbuch. This precious “Book of Life” was filled with every document she could possibly need in triplicate, always ready for that ever requested “Oh I just need that one more document” in some or other passport application. Even the German Embassy remarked that they had never seen someone so organised. So Kerstin decided to take her creation to the South African market and Stammbuch was born.
Flavours of Stammbuch
The Red Book
For the effervescent, out-there, wear your heart on your sleeve individual. Happy in every environment where they can feel the love!
The Green Book
For the discerning, sophisticated, deeply caring and full of wisdom individual. Content to grab a hot cup of something and stare out the window at the mountain on a rainy Cape Town winters day.
Fantastic “Book of Life”, thank you. I finally have all my documents organized
