About Us

Luchetti sketchbooks were born from a legacy of craftsmanship that begins in Fabriano, Italy—widely regarded as the birthplace of fine art paper in Europe. Since the 1200s, this town’s master papermakers revolutionized the creative world with innovations like cotton-based sheets, watermarks, and archival sizing—techniques so enduring, even Renaissance legends like Michelangelo and Raphael created on paper made in the city of Fabriano.

Our ancestors, the Luchetti’s, worked in those very papermills, carrying on a tradition where paper wasn’t just made—it was perfected. The Luchetti family lived among the textures, tools, and values that defined the artistry of materials.

Today, Luchetti continues that pioneering spirit. Just as Fabriano’s craftsmen once transformed paper, we’ve reimagined the sketchbook. Each book opens perfectly flat using our True Flat™ binding method, creating a seamless panoramic surface with no gutter to interrupt your work. Every page is crafted from 600 gsm mixed-media stock—thick, durable, and ready for anything from graphite and ink to watercolor, gouache, and acrylic. Luchetti is more than a sketchbook—it’s a continuation of centuries of innovation, now in your hands.
