G.lalo Velin Ivory A5?

[domnortheast]

Does anyone know whether G.Lalo produce an Ivory A5 Velin (smooth finish) writing pad?

 

I can find their Velin range in white A5 and I can find the Verge (laid finish) in Ivory.

 

I've been using the Crown Mill Vellum A5 Ivory for some time

(as per here: http://www.cultpens.com/i/q/OR23939/original-crown-mill-vellum-writing-pad-a5)

and like it very much and I also use the G.Lalo Verge from time to time but I prefer the smooth finish, especially if I'm in fine nib mode.

The Writing Desk seems to carry it in white along with a few other venders. Would that due?

Yep, saw The Writing Desk had some white and, as you say, a few others stock the white....not overly fond of plain white for personal letters, just thought it might be nice to try a G.Lalo version of the Crown Mill Ivory Vellum I already know and love but I suspect they don't produce different shades....you can have any colour Sir...so long as it's white.

Hi,

 

Unfortunately I cannot help you find Ivory Velin de France.

 

I settled on the Rhodia 'R' (Pemium) paper 90gsm as a warm tint coated paper. Its not quite as Yellow-leaning as the G Lalo Verge de France Ivory.

 

Oh, the G Lalo Velin de France White is not a true White - the base tint is a soft Grey. My review: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/195559-paper-review-g-lalo-velin-de-france/

 

I look forward to the suggestions of other Members...

 

Bye,
