Leather notebook with embossed letter A

The Il Papiro brand was founded in Florence and is synonymous with Italian excellence in the production of handcrafted decorated paper, still made according to traditional methods and artisan techniques from the 17th century, which they preserve and showcase worldwide.

High-quality materials and the revival of ancient procedures by master artisans, such as marbling and woodcut printing, have contributed to Il Papiro's success and its decorated papers since the last century.

Il Papiro is a testament to a company that, both then and now, promotes tradition and looks to the future through its flexibility and ability to renew itself daily.

The love of beauty and attention to detail come together in their stylish products, thanks to the passion and experience of Italian artisans.

Il Papiro’s high-quality production, still carried out using traditional methods and processes, includes products entirely covered with marbled paper, such as bookbinding items (journals, notebooks, address books, photo albums); office accessories (pencil cases, letter trays, note organizers, photo frames, and boxes of various shapes and sizes); sheets of marbled paper, stationery items, cards, place cards, ex libris, and classic leather accessories.

Il Papiro worldwide

Il Papiro opened its first store on Via Cavour in Florence on Christmas Eve 1976, strengthening its success in other locations in Italy, including Venice in 1985. The brand’s reputation grew globally with the opening of two stores abroad: in Palm Beach, Florida in 1993, and in Melbourne, Australia in 2002.

Currently, Il Papiro distributes its products through its own stores in Italy and around the world. Each store is designed with attention to detail, maintaining and promoting an elegant image and a welcoming atmosphere typical of Florentine shops, while preserving the urban fabric and the tradition of its location.
