Our products spark joy with our signature fashion illustrations that delight the daily. We believe there is nothing more delightful than a handwritten note because paper trumps texting. Every. Single. Time.

Our products spark joy with our signature fashion illustrations that delight the daily. While our pieces feature whimsical illustrations, quality is still of the utmost importance. We believe there is nothing more chic or delightful than receiving a handwritten note on beautiful stationery—because paper trumps texting.
Every. Single. Time.

the scent
of ink, the feel
of paper.

Karen is a fashion, food and art lover. Former corporate fashion designer turned nighttime illustrator, Karen illustrates lustworthy goodies amidst a sea of dolls, Legos and crayons. Serendipitously, the word lust is found nestled in the word illustration. 

“Fashions
fade, style
is eternal.”

Just as fashion tells your story without saying a word, so should stationery. Stationery is an extension of our personal style and we are here for it!

Not everyone knows about the BG restaurant on the top floor overlooking Central Park, but it's one of our favorites. The best part?
Bubbles are always on the menu.
