Plate I · Jane Grey · Founder of Lettoria Portrait of Jane Grey, founder of the Lettoria Press

“I could never leave a good book behind.”

The stories I love — Poe, Shakespeare, Dracula — stay with me long after the last page. So I started Lettoria to keep them close: their art printed on things you actually carry — handbags, wallets, backpacks — in real leather, made to last. I hope you find the story that's yours.

— Jane Grey, Founder of Lettoria
