Close your eyes and picture this…
The sun is shining, a gentle breeze drifts through striped parasols, the scent of fresh lemons fills the air, and a little café on the corner is serving the best gelato you've ever tasted. A handwritten postcard sits beside your espresso while your journal fills with holiday memories.
That's exactly the feeling we wanted to capture with our newest Rowan Berry Box theme: Italian Summer.
Inspired by the vibrant colours, delicious food and relaxed pace of Mediterranean life, this month's stationery subscription is bursting with sunshine, hand-illustrated details and everything you need to bring a little la dolce vita to your creative routine.
Whether you're journaling your own adventures, planning your next getaway or simply dreaming of an Italian escape, this collection is designed to transport you there—one page at a time.
