The Notebooks.
In the ancient Mill Valley in Amalfi, Italy there is an old paper mill that traces its roots back to the fifteenth century. For centuries there the small family-owned enterprise has produced fine paper products according to old craftsmanship traditions.
This paper mill, which counts as one of the oldest in the world, manufactures notebooks for La Papeterie d'Italie.

The notebooks are fully handbound and made with cotton paper according to the most ancient artisanal tradition in Amalfi, Italy. Each book is made one at a time. In fact, every sheet in a book is produced singularly with natural fringing on all its sides, keeping the print of the wool felts. It is soft to touch and has a clearness of plot which assures a high quality level for all uses.

No chemicals or bleachings are used in the process, which is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) ensuring that the products come from well managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Lastly, the notebooks are bound by hand with leather lace and featured with a printed cover according to the designs of La Papeterie d'Italie.
The use of pure, natural water and cotton combined with the paper mill's artisanal methods in the calm, peaceful environment of coastal Italy results in a beautiful product of finest quality and standards - creating a writing experience that is truly exceptional.
