A creative young man, full of ambition, Georges Lalo did not intend to remain a simple employee of a printing and stamping workshop. His dream: to come to Paris and set up his own company. This was done in July 1919 when he started renting premises in rue Richer: G.Lalo, a manufacturer of luxury writing paper and envelopes, was born.

• The Philosophy

His company G.Lalo has always wanted to become the reference in correspondence. And even if the correspondence boxes are selling less than 50 years ago, G.Lalo has managed to keep its articles still handmade in its workshops in Paris in order to continue to offer customers high quality and a real know-how. "To write about G.Lalo is to know how to please oneself, but above all to please the other person, who will be very grateful to you. »

• The Philosophy

The Herbin company, manufacturer of sealing wax, was founded in 1670 - Louis XIV was 32 years old - It was from his travels to India that the founder imported his shellac formula which enabled him to improve the quality of his seals, in terms of adherence and finesse, and to acquire a reputation in the kingdom.

• The Philosophy since 2003

Since 2003, the company has been part of the Exacompta Clairefontaine Group, a renowned paper group. Herbin has built up 3 specialities over the years:

- Writing and marking inks

- Sealing and Decorating Wax

- Pastiline, an ultra-precise industrial modelling clay that never hardens.

"The best feathers, dear child, are those of Brause Iserlohn".

• The Philosophy

Based in Iserlohn (North Rhine-Westphalia), Brause produces pens for writing, drawing and decorating. The quality of the craftsmanship allows us to produce nibs of great finesse. Each nib thus has its own qualities and can be classified according to two criteria: suppleness and fineness.
