Established in 1935 in Asheville, NC, our family run business is a living legacy to our parents, Herschel and Judy Lange.  They dreamt of sharing their ability to find a respite from the sometimes impersonal world by experiencing the thrill pen to paper.  Imagine sharing the meaningful moments in your life by feeling smooth flow of the perfect fountain pen moving across hand milled cotton paper in a journals, a memoir or a moving thank you note. Also imagine, your words being read and reread by those you love, generations from now.  Your voice will travel in time.  Our memories of our father writing with his green fountain pen, filled with his favorite green ink are what inspired our love of the written word.

Moving to Washington, DC, Scribes Delight was the first to make and consult on Presidential Inaugural keepsakes for presidents such as President Clinton and President Bush.  Scribes Delight was also the first to create National Cherry Blossom Festival elegant memorabilia, and created pieces for The National Holocaust Museum, The National Capitol, and other national organizations. 

Our retail stores, such as our flagship store at Faneuil Hall in Boston,  attracted a legendary following for 22 years, where we were offered a quiet refuge to a hectic world. 

We have been privileged, over the years,  to fulfill some special dreams.  One such dream, is a memory book, which we created by hand for hiker Aran Ralston.  Each element of the book was hand cut, sewn and engraved. With the completion of every portion, we felt we were cheering him on.  It was meant as a testimony of his courage, but also may have served as an inspiration during his recovery.  His heroic story is timeless. His book was made to last forever, to be shared with his family and the world.

Lesser known heros, too, have shared, and realized their dreams with us. A professor, during a long, arduous battle with cancer, wanted to go back to teach using his "dream notebook:"  a butterscotch, butter soft leather, notebook which was easy to carry, large enough to transport volumes of essays. Our team of skilled artisans took his drawing and made his vision:
It has been an honor to be a part of so many lives.

 We have created products for luminaries such as Tim Russert, Colin Powell, Paramount Pictures, Aretha Franklin, The Spanish Music Awards, Dolby, and Kevin Costner and many more are part of the Scribes Delight family...become a part of our family too.

Scribes Delight is a living legacy to our parents Judith and Herschel whose philosophy of sincere hard work, attention and loving care to each piece, and enthusiasm for each customers dreams and needs, has been passed on to us, their daughters.
