Description

The “Angelo” Writing Portfolio is a tribute to the timeless art of letter writing and refined correspondence.

The hardbound portfolio is meticulously crafted in Naples by Master Bookbinder Flavio Aquilina, wrapped in an exclusive heraldic pattern created specifically for Amatruda. Inside, cloth-covered pockets securely hold the stationery set.

The set includes 10 writing sheets crafted individually by hand in Amalfi following historic medieval methods on cloth moulds. When held up to the light, each sheet reveals a delicate Angel watermark. Accompanying the sheets are 10 matching envelopes, completely made by hand and individually folded with artisanal precision.

Writing & Tactile Experience Guide:

• Vintage Letter Size: The sheets (5 x 28 cm) reflect the traditional proportions of classic historical letterhead, providing a generous canvas for your correspondence.
