All of PressaRussa’s letterpress items are printed using a little 5 x 8 tabletop press. All of the  movable type and print blocks are vintage so no two prints are exactly the same. PressaRussa’s designer Lisa also has another shop called IVANandLUCY that makes more canvas bags similar to the ones in her PressaRussa shop.

Fashion designer Erdem Moralioglu has designed a limited-edition collection of notebooks and diaries featuring his signature prints and colour-blocked line drawings engraved and printed on goatskin leather. All the books and diaries are lined with printed silk and two pages of the designer’s illustrations printed on Smythson signature Featherweight blue paper. Smythson Creative Director Samantha Cameron said of the collaboration: “What I love about the collection is how well the leather represents the beautiful simplicity of Erdem’s designs and their paint-like quality. They have the power of making a static object come to life.” Visit Smythson.com to purchase.

Above are the 3000 model the green from 1958, the year it was first introduced, and the blue from the late 1960s.
