History

Established in 2003.

A walk down 600-​year-​old Turl Street will take you past three Oxford colleges and a row of some of the oldest and best-​respected shops in town. Nestled among them is Scriptum Fine Stationery. Inside, amid the smell of leather and the sound of Italian opera, you will find an Aladdin’s Cave of hand-​stitched leather-​bound journals, dip pens, quills, Murano glass pens, inks, sealing wax, prints and Oxfordshire’s largest assortment of Venetian masks.

Azeem Zakria, Scriptum’s director and creative head, founded the business after being inspired by a stationery emporium in Florence. Scriptum opened in Oxford’s Golden Cross in May 2003 and moved to its larger Turl Street premises in 2006.
