Bespoke Letterpress
Letterpress printing utilises artisan techniques-
it is a centuries old art form, which is timeless,
classic and results in a beautiful tactile impression into the paper.
Letterpress printing is the one of the oldest forms of printing available
and hasn't changed much since 1440 when it was first invented.
A craft of masters, it requires skill and precision.
The development of faster, motorised offset printing presses meant that centuries of knowledge and craftsmanship were in danger of being lost.
The folk at Bespoke Letterpress have a vision to keep letterpress alive
by creating beautiful cards using a fusion of antique letterpress printing methods
with beautiful typography, gorgeous vintage illustrations and the finest papers.

Marie Daâge is one of the few companies that still paint their porcelain entirely by hand.
Painters are personally trained by Marie in a light and fluid style
reminiscent of water colour painting.
Chosen with particular abilities, a painter must have excellent interpretive skills
as well as painting ability she says.
Some have great talent for painting leaves and flowers,
while others excel creating figures or patterns.
All are from families in Limoges that have painted for generations using traditional methods of painting developed in the 18th century.

Lubin's latest Eau de Parfum … Grisette
Grisette is a classical composition with top notes of an armful of freshly cut roses.
For the first time in decades,
Lubin is using an alcolate obtained by macerating rose concrete.
This preserves the most volatile notes that
mingle with hints of grapefruit to give a green sensation of fresh roses.
Grisette then wraps one up in powdery, woody, and spicy notes
before leaving a trail of amber and vanilla.
Top notes of bergamot, grapefruit, Bulgarian rose and Moroccan rose.
Heart notes of orris and incense.
Base notes of cedarwood, amber, musk and vanilla.

Les Grisettes ...
Familiar figures in the streets of 19th century Paris,
grisettes were the youthful, fresh‑faced girls
who worked in the capital’s sewing workshops.
They were full of joie de vivre and wore grey calico frocks
that gave them their nickname.
On sunny days, when the workshop bell rang,
they would rush off in pursuit of adventure in the bars of Montmartre
and the guinguettes on the Marne, where they would dance to the strains of the accordion.
These fun-loving creatures paired up with the bohemian students in the Latin Quarter,
and provided the inspiration for the artists at Montmartre,
becoming the heroines of paintings by Renoir and Manet.
