The Secret History of the Society...
I’m Sophie, founder of Readers Society.
I’ve been a reader my whole life. My teenage years were spent quietly devouring all the YA classics - The Mortal Instruments, Twilight and everything in between - before fantasy, romantasy and romance completely took over in adulthood.
Where we began...
The idea for Readers Society came to me way before I started the brand, when I was searching for subtle bookish merch and jewellery inspired by the stories I loved - pieces that felt like a little nod to fellow readers, an if you know, you know reference, rather than something overly costume-like and chunky!
I wanted jewellery I could wear every day, where only the right person would understand the meaning behind it.
After months of planning, designing and working behind the scenes, I launched Readers Society in 2021... and the rest is history.
After years of following Bookstagram accounts, book boxes and the wider online reading community, I finally caved and started my own Bookstagram in 2020. Finding that community gave me the final push to bring the idea for Readers Society to life.
In the summer of 2022,
We launched our signature quote and nickname jewellery with two new collections: The Romance Collection & The Fantasy Collection.
These designs have since become some of the designs Readers Society is best known for.
Then, in autumn 2024, we launched The Bookish Watch...
The first products of its kind created specifically for readers.
It was born from a lot of love, an unreasonable amount of work, and the idea that bookish products could feel just as considered and wearable as anything else in your wardrobe.
Made for readers. Designed for everyday.
This is a place to find an insignia that only you and your fellow readers will know the true meaning of.
You’ll find pieces inspired by romance, fantasy, romantasy, dark academia and the books we simply cannot stop talking about - all designed with that same philosophy at heart.
You’re officially invited to join the Society.
Find us on Instagram and TikTok, or drop me a DM or email anytime - I genuinely love hearing from fellow readers.

Let customers speak for us
A bit late on the review but i love this encklace so much its still bright and no signs of wear
Super cute! I have the gold ones, they go with everything. Really lightweight and good quality.
I have the gold & silver watches. They’re so elegant, go with everything and the engraving is just such a lovely touch. A really good quality watch, I can tell a lot of thought went into them. They also came beautifully packaged so it’s easy for me to store them in their boxes when not in use. Thank you, very happy!!
Beautiful earrings, amazing quality and really affordable.
Beautiful bangle with a really subtle nod to favourite book series quotes. Makes me smile whenever I wear it
This is such a well made tote bag. I will be buying more for myself and friends. Really sturdy, lots of room and the design is beautiful. I have also used it as a handbag as love it that much
From top to bottom, this watch is a gem on my wrist. I love the perfect gold colour this stainless steel has and the subtle elegance the pattern of the strap gives off. The small but significant details that connect it back to readers society like the icon on the knob. It’s even more gorgeous in real life and I’m truly impressed and utterly enamored by this watch. If you want a forever watch or a watch that you believe will be perfect for anytime or anywhere you need to go then allow me to influence you. This is the watch. This is the watch that everyone deserves and needs to have in their life. This is the watch of your dreams. This is the most perfect watch to ever exist and no one else can ever change my mind. Thank you Sophie for creating such a beautiful watch plus for all the cute goodies (especially that perfect bookmark). Everyone reading this better be clicking buy right this minute !!! 💖
As with all her products it’s so well made and I adore the quote! I will definitely get another one at some point. I’m not usually a bracelet person but this one is ideal
Beautiful quality and just the right size- which is rare as I can hardly ever find a ring small enough. Great graduation gift to celebrate my personal “victory”
This is the perfect book bag! It has a flat bottom, it is sturdy, the canvas is great. I traveled with this and used it to carry my books at a festival. It was the perfect size and I was able to carry 5 hardbacks in it very easily.
Brought theses as a gift and I’m sad they aren’t mine 🥺. Very slim and dainty but in the best was the simple design leaves the words to speak for themselves. Incredible customer service
As someone with smaller fingers I find it so difficult to find rings that fit me- the adjustable feature of this ring means I can get it to fit me perfectly!! Such a beautiful design, I love that I can wear it every day too without worrying about damaging it, couldn't be happier with my purchase and couldn't recommend this company enough! Amazing designs, packaged with love and arrived so quickly💜
Perfect size not to big or bulky, the chain isn’t too long and it’s hypoallergenic as I’m allergic to a lot of Jewellery but these necklaces are great.
Absolutely love it. Not to big or bulky, it’s perfect
This necklace is the perfect dainty bookish accent. I bought it instantly because it's inspired by Rowan. There's so many bat boys-inspired items but Rowan deserves more attention! I wear this every day 💕
