ABOUT


Tradition with a twist.


The Write Touch offers an eclectic mix of stationery, custom invitations, leather goods, gifts and accessories. For more than thirty years, the store has been the consummate resource for the art of civilized communication. The Write Touch has been the cornerstone of the San Marco neighborhood and shopping square since its doors opened in 1987. Carolyn Jennings has been at the helm since 2006, after purchasing the store from its original owner.

The store caters to a sophisticated and creative clientele, offering an assortment of gifts and papers from the most traditional and elegant to cheeky and fun. The atmosphere in the store is a perfect balance of hip and chic, with an expertly edited collection of wares and knowledgeable staff. Last but not least, the best looking blondes in town, golden retrievers Nicholas and Joshua, are ready to greet every customer with a smile and friendly wag of their tail.

San Marco Square

San Marco is a vibrant historic neighborhood nestled on the south bank of the St. Johns River across from downtown Jacksonville. The Square is the heart of the community and is home to excellent specialty shops, eclectic restaurants, public art and parks, as well as the deco era San Marco Theatre. You will find The Write Touch in the center of the square facing the iconic Three Lions fountain.
