November 11th is World Letter Writing Day 💌✍️.
A charming relic of a bygone era: a handwritten letter from a 6-year-old Prince Charles to his grandmother, the Queen Mother, sold at auction for £7,000.
Dated 1955, it was discovered in a palace attic during a Christmas clean. Its contents? A simple, heartfelt message: "Dear Granny, I am sorry that you are ill. I hope that you will get better soon!" 💌
It’s a beautiful reminder of the enduring power and personal touch of a handwritten note. In our digital age, it is the ultimate luxury.
Which brings me to my pride and joy—our family atelier. We uphold this artisanal tradition, creating bespoke writing instruments where true luxury lies in unique, natural character.
To illustrate this point: behold a selection of 20 pens. Each is crafted from the same batch of Finnish Karelian birch, using the same ‘Inspira’ technique, by the same master artisans.
The stunning result? No two are alike. Each grain, each nuance, is entirely its own.
This is what I believe constitutes a unique proposition and true luxury in the world of accessories. Not mass production, but the celebration of nature's one-of-a-kind beauty, captured forever.
