Papelera PALERMO

Papelera Palermo is easily the most impressive paper store I've ever been in. They specialize in hand made paper and paper products, but they don't stop there. They've extended their range to boxes, stationary, book binding, wrapping paper, journals and leather goods and right now Graham is seriously coveting one of their slim red leather computer cases. Anything that's related to writing, drawing or involves paper in some way they do it, and they do it beautifully. The shop is the size of a small warehouse and they've filled the entire left wall with sheets of hanging wrapping paper: block, pattern, grainy, cut-out, graffiti, any style you can think of they've come up with it.


They're masters of paper and they know it. They were kind enough to open a school to the public to teach their ways in paper making and book binding and my number one reason for learning Spanish right now is to get in on that. For now I'm contenting myself with a sheet of hand made paper every now and then.
