Paper Craftsmanship
Our Paper Craft
The rustle of a tissue-lined envelope to a glimmer of gold-gilt edging… there’s much to delight over when it comes to a piece of Smythson stationery.
Gilt-edging
By delicately applying heat to sheets of gold or silver leaf, our signature gilt-edge stationery adds a decorative finish to your correspondence.
Tissue Lining
Our envelopes are hand-lined by our artisans with soft tissue, in a range of colourways, using a ‘full wrap’ technique to cover all surfaces inside.
Engraving
Intricately cutting lettering, crests, or symbols into a steel die or copperplate using a needle-like burin, our traditional printing technique has been perfected for decades.

Hand-Bordering
Hand-Bordering
Spread like a deck of cards, each piece of stationery is painted by hand, achieving a single or double border in block colours. Careful attention is needed to forgo any smudging and ensure lines are perfectly straight.
