We produce artisanal paper, leaf by leaf, through a meticulous hand-casting and recycling process in Lucca. The result is an organic texture with deckled edges, transforming reclaimed material into pieces of rare beauty.
We complement each sheet with bespoke collages and exclusive illustrations in watercolor and gouache. Custom art, designed to reflect the palette and soul of every celebration.
ARTISANAL PAPER
ARTISANAL PAPER AND ILLUSTRATION
Starting in 2021, we adopted a new and exclusive craft practice: recycling used paper. In a completely eco-friendly and sustainable way, we transform the raw material into papers of rare beauty, which combine a rustic touch with a unique elegance.
Perfect for invitations, menus, and place cards, our papers are the unique touch for any event. Production is carried out on a specific order, with custom colors and textures that harmonize perfectly with the color palette and style of each celebration.
This art of creating paper, which honors the beauty and tradition of manual work, is crowned by the fact that it is produced in Lucca, Tuscany. The city, known worldwide as a major paper industrial center and the home of the Lucca Biennale Cartasia, lends its rich cultural heritage to every sheet, connecting the essence of our work to the history and culture of Lucca.

WHO WE ARE
“I AM BECAUSE WE ARE.”
Il Grappolo was born from a simple truth: each grape is unique, yet it is within the cluster that it finds its purpose. Our curation celebrates Tuscany in all its depth: from historical heritage and olive groves to the essence of artisanal materials and terroir wines. Based in Lucca, we transform gastronomy, nature, and tradition into authentic celebrations. We believe that true beauty lies in the appreciation of the land and the harmony between those who inhabit it.
Alongside a handpicked network of local partners and vendors, we translate the essence of Tuscany into singular events. We work with the joy of those who love their craft, paired with the dedication and technical rigor essential for an impeccable celebration. We turn your dream event into a reality where history, flavor, and nature meet with absolute precision.
