On a recent trip to the post office, a simple question stopped me in my tracks: Do people even buy stamps anymore? Do we still write letters “real letters”, or have we surrendered entirely to the speed of texts and the efficiency of email? With the holidays upon us, it feels like the right moment to revisit what this season once meant: gifts of appreciation, gestures with weight, things chosen with intention and meant to last.
So today, we return to that spirit.
We begin with Pineider founded in 1774, admired quietly but fervently by aficionados, and cherished across centuries by nobility, royalty, and the kind of celebrities who favor discretion over spectacle. Known first for its personalized stationery and exceptional leather goods, Pineider has long occupied a rare space where craftsmanship meets culture.
Then came 2017, a pivotal year that shifted the brand into a new era. Dante Del Vecchio, a legend in the world of fine writing instruments and formerly the co-founder of Visconti, joined Pineider as Brand Expert. What followed was less a reinvention and more an awakening, the continuation of a story still being written, one pen at a time.
Fast forward to 2025: Pineider has evolved into a house of considered objects. Exquisite writing instruments remain at its core, but now the offerings extend to refined leather pieces, thoughtfully crafted gaming items, and, of course, the stationery that continues to set the benchmark.
As we look for gifts that carry meaning, gifts that last, it feels right to reintroduce the art of writing, the pleasure of paper, the beauty of something made to be kept.
Enjoy the world of Pineider.
