Dressco Onionskin Letter Set - A5 - White & Lime

"KateJo" Onion skin paper is paired with our luxury envelopes. Each set includes six envelopes in two colors, 20 sheets of our KateJo onion skin paper and a lined template.

Dressco’s onion skin text paper is very thin, translucent, and has a crumpled texture that resembles actual onion skins. The unique texture of the paper works with all pens, but is especially designed to be responsive to both pencils and fountain pens to provide a premium writing experience. 

Onion skin paper was developed and used widely for handwriting and with typewriters in Europe and the US to provide a lighter weight and more affordable alternative when sending air mail. In the modern era, airmail became less important and onion skin paper became relatively obscure.

All manufacturing of onion skin paper in Japan was discontinued in 2010. To respond to the desires of fountain pens users, Takeo closely collaborated with a leading paper manufacturer to develop the original “KateJo” onion skin paper.
