Fabriano window display

Stationery lovers won't be the only ones going quietly ga-ga in this showroom which stocks the entire Fabriano line. Everything from plain notebooks to linen pencil cases to kooky leather keyrings are exquisitely crafted. An ever-present sense of wit makes all the good taste even more attractive. Courses in design, printing, calligraphy and more are posted in the shop.
