We are nestled among the narrow streets and stone-built terraces of Otley - a small market town straddling the border of North and West Yorkshire. British attitudes have always been one of enthusiasm, innovation and endeavour. Since we set our first presses running, we have always lived by this ethos. We’re proud of our heritage.

Hidden in the depths of the Silvine archive, we found samples of these incredible books from across the years. That was when we decided to pay homage to what these books have stood for over the decades. They are engineered to perfectly meet the needs of those who use them. This is when Silvine Originals was born. 

We use stock sourced from the renowned James Cropper Mill in Kendal, which has been producing quality paper since 1845. This independent mill makes paper with a passion. Their products are crafted to unwavering standards, which is why they are the perfect choice for Silvine Originals.
