Strolling Downtown Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, a bit of old fashioned display caught my attention – a fan of beautiful business cards, couple of stylish wedding invitations and greeting cards were tempting me to touch their relief. Inscriptions Classic Engraving and Classic Stationery invited me downstairs to the shop.
Classic Engraving sounded a little confusing, but my ignorance was cleared up soon – this is not where you get your spare key cut, it is all about paper! Engraving on paper! So I have found one of the best traditional print shops on the continent if not beyond! All work on fine paper, be it business cards, stationery, thank you cards or wedding invites was of superb quality, embossed, engraved or letter-pressed with no praise to spare… All of it in-house made! In addition Classic Stationers carry fine papers from Crane, North America’s iconic paper manufacturer of 100% cotton paper (by the way all US dollars are printed on Crane’s), Italian leather bound journals and all that makes you shift back to hand writing when contacting people you cherish the most…
If you are not going to Victoria soon, www.classicstationers.com is an option, too.
