Melodies Graphiques - Stationery and Calligraphy store in Paris

This is the type of store that makes my heart skip a beat. This year I finally made it through, and as the owner says in this short video, "this is a store for people who like to write." I do, I do!!

 You will fall in love with his entire wall of envelopes sent to him by his customers.

And the many, many types of inks and colors and bottles, nibs and holders, blotting paper, and well, the list goes on.

Apart from all the beautiful paper and calligraphy tools, you'll also find the owner's work. Did I tell you he is a master calligrapher? You could have guessed that right?

 You can try all the nibs available - just like my son did- every single one of them.

This is one more reason to go to Paris, as if you I needed more.

    1. I thought of you the whole time. I found a nib just like yours and I got it but it is a fact that my handwriting won't look as beautiful as yours!
