We’ve done the research to find the finest recycled papers the UK has to offer—luxurious, unique, and soft to the touch. Whether used with a smooth pencil or a broad-tipped fountain pen, the experience of writing on this paper is unmatched.

We print in the traditional way: with metal, wood, and attention to detail. Our printing carries only a subtle impression of ink, preserving the longevity of our precious metal type, for which there are fewer than two dozen manufacturers remaining in the UK. It's not about holding onto the past—it’s about offering an alternative to mass consumerism. It’s about supporting local businesses and deepening connections with thoughtful, lasting gifts that reflect the value of true friendship.

The items in this product line, Acorn & Mire, support environmental restoration, with a portion of sales going toward forest and hedgerow regeneration, as well as peatland conservation projects.

Acorn & Mire: the sturdy, grounded symbol of an acorn and the wet, murky quality of a mire (a swamp or bog). Combined, we have growth and resilience in the face of adversity, or the tension between stability (acorn) and uncertainty or entanglement (mire).
