The Scriptum Blog

Hello! We’re very excited to be welcoming you to Scriptum’s brand new website. As you can see, it’s now possible to order many of our beautiful products online. It’s a lovely thought that, while we remain in Oxford, our fine stationery will be whizzing all over the planet to customers old and new. 

Our plunge into the digital world might seem somewhat at odds with our commitment to encouraging the arts of letter writing and journal keeping (not to mention the use of good old pen and ink) but we strongly believe that these practices can only thrive if as many people as possible have access to the information and tools necessary to carry them out.

And - as it happens - we don’t think that you need to pick between a digitalised life and one that embraces more traditional pursuits. We may be slightly biased but whilst email certainly has its place for Scriptum’s staff, none of us could let it replace sending handwritten letters on fine paper. Who wouldn’t rather receive a message in the post on a headed note card (in an envelope lined with florentine paper, of course) than a hastily dashed email? 

We hope you enjoy having a look around our new site. Do get in touch if you have any questions, or would like to let us know what you think. And don’t forget to follow this blog and find us on Twitter and Facebook  to keep up to date with news, special offers, competitions and to get a behind-the-scenes peak at the exciting and glamorous world of fine stationery!
