Penelope's Press

Brand · Paper goods

Our love affair with paper began in childhood and continues to fuel our passion today. We are fond of handwritten letters, thoughtfully chosen cards, and good old-fashioned mail. With timeless simplicity in mind, we handcraft each card in-house—from the hand-drawn illustrations to every piece of paper that is hand-fed through our 100+ year-old printing presses. We cherish yesteryear by preserving the craft of letterpress and encouraging the art of written correspondence. Founded in 2009 by Debbie Lee, penelope's press is a letterpress print and design studio whose signature style fuses modern and classic elements, featuring simple design, clean typography, hand-drawn illustrations, and subtle pops of color. Designed by Debbie and adorned with illustrations from her children, sister, and herself, every card is letterpress printed one sheet at a time and one color at a time, then packaged and shipped with love from the heart of the Midwest. What started as a small venture has grown into a full-service letterpress studio that ships stationery, greeting cards, wedding suites, and custom-designed projects to clients and select retailers around the globe. penelope’s press is proud to have been featured in print and online publications and is humbled to have a clientele that includes notable celebrities and retailers, both large and small.
