We are a fully bespoke stationery service; we can design any stationery that you might need for your wedding/event/party/launch/festival/restaurant/bar/shop.

Katie and I hand-paint everything in our studios in London and Folkestone; the old-fashioned way - using inks, paint, paper, dip pens, brushes.
We then turn it into a digital file ready for printing.
You can see examples of our painting style here and on Instagram.
We offer some items that are not printed and are one-offs; such a hand-written name cards for place settings, or hand decorated/written envelopes.
Hand-painted linens are treated as paintings and are one-offs.
For printing and any extras, we use a trusted handpicked selection of small printers/suppliers that work with recycled, sustainable or hand-made papers.

Artwork Creation
We discuss your event and your ideas, and create a personal mood board. We can create a colour palette or use your existing one, if you have one. We can discuss which ideas you love and want to explore.
We will create some rough sketches; you choose which sketches you like or make comments/changes.
We create the final artwork, as a painting first and then as a digital file. Your quote includes 2 rounds of amendments/changes to the final artwork. Further amendments will incur an extra charge.
Printing
We will send the file to the printers.
Once we’ve received a sample we will send to you to check, and if you’re happy we will print all your invitations.
Once they are printed we will prepare and hand-finish your invitations.
Hand-painted linen is a one-off item to be cherished as an original painting, and is not able to be amended.

From design to delivery of a printed wedding invitation set, please allow 6-8 weeks. It’s always best to overestimate the time needed.
Artwork creation can take anywhere from a few days to 4 weeks, depending on how many items need designing.
Printing can take 1-2 weeks depending on availability and complexity, (and another week if any revisions are needed).
Services like hand-finishing invites, addressing envelopes or adding wax seals can take another few days (more or less, depending on quantities). And then allow time for the delivery to you.
If you’re pressed for time, we can usually accommodate rush orders, but will incur a rush order charge.
