The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience

The Olivetti Lettera 31 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing the absolute peak of 1970s "functionalist" design. Often referred to as the "Dora," this machine was built to be a rugged, streamlined version of the famous Lettera 32. Professionally cleaned and tested, this unit is in excellent condition, showcasing a stunning Mediterranean Blue finish that perfectly matches its original accessories. It is a unique find specifically because it retains its original Olivetti-branded transporting bag, an accessory that is often lost to time.

Detailed Condition Note

The aesthetic is in exceptional condition, with the Mediterranean Blue polymer shell remaining vibrant and free of significant marks. Mechanically, it strikes with a fast, intentional rhythm and supports dual-color ribbon switching (Black and Red). Every key has been checked for perfect alignment and fluid return. This unit has been carefully revised and comes with its original soft-shell transport bag, which features a unique blue-on-blue typographic pattern and the original strap.
