This is a funky set of Eames pattern stationery. I bought this museum gift shop quality set for my brother who had studied industrial design and is familiar with the Eames patterns. When he opened it Christmas morning and we got a closer look at the good size, good quality paper and matching tongued envelopes, I logged on and ordered a set for myself. This is a great set not just for letter writing but for crafts and decor. Although the box appears a little feminine, the patterns are varied and this would make a great gift for anyone, including, er, yourself.

First off, I'd like to say how much I like letter writing and so, I'm a big fan of stationery sets. From boxed sets to fold & mails, I've tried them all and now I'll try to review them all :) This boxed set takes the cake for modern overall great quality as far as I'm concerned.

The Eames textile designs are very modern, colorful and pretty. It's not too feminine or masculine so it's a great tool for anyone. 3 designs in 6 color combinations and envelopes to coordinate perfectly. The quality of the paper is second to none, thick enough stock, and the sheets are perfectly matchable with the sturdy envelopes so your letters will look quite sophisticated and classic.

The quality's very good for the price, esepcially if you consider it all comes in a reusable, decorated box. It's a great gift for anyone in your list or for yourself if you feel like a little something. It'll definitely jump-start and inspire some letters of your own. Very, very recommended!

It's not so much the patterns that make this stationery set great; it's the quality. The paper and the envelopes are of thick, well-manufactured paper and excellent printing/screening. I have been sampling some of the other stationery sets and while they may be prettier or have patterns that are more fun, none have even come close to the quality in this set. I'll keep looking but I doubt I'll find anything better.
