Labora is a tiny shop in Tallinn's Old Town. It specialises in handmade paper, letterpress printing, and calligraphy. Labora’s charm lies in its dedication to preserving traditional techniques while crafting beautifully designed objects.
This is my go-to place when I would like to buy postcards or greeting cards for my friends and family. What I found particularly delightful was their seed paper, which not only serves as a thoughtful greeting card but can also be planted to grow wildflowers, combining art with nature in a truly meaningful way.
Unlike other souvenir shops that sell similar touristy items, here you can find some unique and original postcards for your loved ones. Whether you’re a paper lover or just looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, Labora is a place you won’t want to miss.
