on saleG. Lalo Vergé de France Large Envelopes - Ivory

Great quality, and the color adds a touch of antique charm. I write a fair number of letters to Senators and Representatives, these babies get noticed.

Lovely paper!

Safe And timely delivery, despite supply chain and mailing timeliness issues for so many people. I came to know and love these stationery items through patronizing a wonderful store in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. It was called Paper Patisserie, and the 85-year-old owner retired, closing that local source of these items. I was so delighted to find Goulet online. The free shipping was also a plus. I will be back!

I still mail handwritten letters to treasured family members and friends who appreciate receiving them and I take pleasure in choosing writing materials and envelopes that evoke a sense of elegance in my letters. I enjoy personalizing my own stationery as well as sending some out to be professionally engraved. In either case, G. Lalo stationery/writing papers have been among my favorites for doing so. The matching envelopes for the G. Lalo writing papers I use are perfectly matched and they are lined, adding to the elegance. Finished off with an elegant foil envelope seal, they are a treat for the recipient in this age of impersonal emails and Facebook interactions;

I am a huge fan of writing on off-white/ivory A4 paper. I often write letters on this paper but fail to find a proper envelope. I end up using one of those store-brand security envelopes (you know the ones I mean) and while it does the job, it is just not that classy. G. Lalo envelopes offer the perfect solution to the issue of finding an elegant, tasteful envelope for letters written on A4 paper. Just fold your letter in thirds and place in the envelope. No need to get a paper cut on your tongue, these are self sealing!! Also these are very durable and can handle a wax seal if that's your taste. The only downside to these is that the paper is VERY rough!! You will have some issues writing on these with fountain pen (or any pen for that matter), as the bumps and grooves in the paper will cause skipping and problems starting. Despite this eccentricity, once you do get the ink on the paper, it will dry fairly quick and in my experience, will not feather. Overall, highly recommended! Just be prepared for a heavily textured paper that will make writing with fountain pen a bit challenging. Because of this trait in the paper, I give these lovely envelopes 4 out of 5 stars.
