Mohawk Celebrates Strathmore with Launch of New Fine Paper Journals and Letterpress Papers
Thursday 22. May 2014 - Since 1892, the Strathmore name and the iconic thistle trademark have been synonymous with the finest American made papers. Now, Mohawk, North America's largest privately-owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing, is celebrating its historic Strathmore fine paper brand with the launch of Strathmore Notes, a new line of fine paper journals, and the introduction of Strathmore Pure Cotton Letterpress Paper.
The Strathmore brand has been revered by printers and designers for over 120 years, and trusted for its uncompromising quality and tactile beauty. Strathmore papers have been crafted to the same exacting standards since 1892 and used by graphic artists, novelists and writers to memorialize their most inspired moments.
Inspired by the flora of Scotland’s Strathmore Valley, company founder Horace Moses adopted both the Strathmore name and the valley’s natural icon-the thistle-as symbols of quality for his papers.
