The Libretto Group was founded in 1997 by Thomas Cushing and created Kate Spade’s first license, Kate Spade Paper. A blend of beautiful illustration and fine leather goods, using Kate’s signature fabrics and leathers, it changed the direction of social stationery. Since then, Libretto has created several stationery and accessory collections, under license, for some of the world’s finest designers and fashion brands, including Christian Lacroix Papier, The New York Times, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Lotta Jansdotter, and Orla Kiely Paper.
Libretto products are sold at fine retailers all over the world, from department stores to museums to specialty retailers. Primary accounts in Europe include Selfridges, Liberty of London, Heals, Harrods, the V&A and Le Bon Marché; Beymen in Turkey; in North America, Neiman Marcus, Kate’s Paperie, the Frick Museum and The Getty Museum; in Australia, David Jones and Myers:, in Hong Kong, Lane Crawford; and in Japan, Bus Stop and Takashimaya.
In addition to its licensed collections, Libretto develops private label programs for leading fashion brands, such as Christian Louboutin, including notebooks, journals, and cards for the current exhibition at the Design Museum of London, in celebration of the designer’s 20th anniversary. The products are currently being used in Christian Louboutin retail stores as gifts-with-purchases.

Love Checkbook by Capsule de Plume
Not a journal in the literal sense, the Checkbook is a set of postcards, which can be personalized, adding a dash of sweetness to your notes. Made up of ten postcards, the Love Checkbook gives a new meaning to “personalization,” allowing your imagination to run wild. Each card in this unique set is detachable and it’s stub, just like a travel journal, becomes a moment of messages sent to loved ones.
Inspired by travels, Capsule de Plume has been dedicated to the suitcase and its accessories since the start, with a suitcase belt, undergarment bag and Parfum de Valise as the first traveller’s objects, now available in Beirut, London and at Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
