If you’re in need of an invitation that requires that extra touch of refinement and extravagance, the world’s elite knows to turn to Bernard Maisner. Calligrapher extraordinaire (and the dude with the quill below) has been penning his decorative invitations, place cards and other forms of personalised correspondence for decades and has even lent his hand as the double for actors seen writing close-up letters in movies, such as Leonardo Dicaprio, Daniel Day Lewis and Sean Connery.
As a man with in-demand hands, you know that Mr Maisners services don’t come cheaply, and his recent collaboration with Lauren Santo Domingo’s Moda Operandi isn’t an exception. This Christmas, if you’d like the extra personalised touch at the dining table, you should invest in a curated one-of-a-kind silk box containing paperweights, coasters, place cards, note cards and gift tags all yours from US$800-1000. But get in early—the trunk show ends in less than a week and what’s worse than having to scrawl in your own Bic? God forbid!
