Florentia is the classic Florentine paper sold in
many formats such as: invitations, stationary, books, bookmarks, blotters, gift wrap paper, boxes, diaries, photo albums.... You can purchase it in most quality stationary stores around
the world, and in Florence, of course, on almost every street corner, or
it seems. Nothing compares to the quality of the real thing, well
worth the price paid. I highly recommend it for a special gift or
occasion. When in Florence, the headquarters of all that is refined in
paper products is the store Pineider,
in business since 1774. They have a wonderfully creative website that
is a pleasure to browse. And they have an English version, too.
On the site, you can find the addresses of stores that carry their beautiful
paper (and leather, etc.) products, in
Italy and around the world. You can also purchase from their
website shop. In the US, you can buy Italian stationary, including the
classic lines, from the online store
Eye Italia.
You can also find at their store beautiful Italian products for your home,
like linens, perfumes, books, and fabrics.
Finmark
in
Australia also carries some
Florentia products, under the Specials category, Italian Stationary.
You need to make an account with them, and the mainly sell wholesale.
Made In Florence features the Il
Papiro store that carries lines of paper products of similar quality
that they sell on-line:
Marbled
a Florence Pattern,
and Florence style stationary.
I've created some Florencia designed cards for Christmas and
Hanukkah that you can order from Zazzle.com, and customize them with your
