About Christmas Classic
Christmas Classic is the traditional holiday palette rendered with a hundred years of confidence: deep evergreen, berry red, snow white, and burnished gold, arranged the way a good greeting card is. Fir garlands wound with satin ribbon, holly sprigs with lacquer-red berries, gold baubles catching candlelight, Fair Isle knit borders running along every edge.
It leans generous and ornamented rather than minimal — every surface wants a little gilding, a little ribbon, a little snow. The page reads like a linen-stock Christmas card: crisp snow-white ground, evergreen panels, gold-foil serifs, and one unmistakable stroke of berry red.
