Stunning Illustrated Letterpress Stationary from Papillon Press
If you’re looking for some absolutely fantastic stationary for your special day, you have got to get on over to Papillon Press and have a look at all their gorgeous work! They really said it best themselves, so I’ll just quote them here:
“Papillon Press is a new illustrated letterpress stationery and invitation company based in Sudbury, Ontario. The owner, Chantal Bennett, works with her partner, Joel Kimmel, to create fine custom stationery that is first hand-drawn in pen and ink to the client’s specifications and printed on their vintage letterpress.
Their website features the custom wedding invitations they’ve created. They will soon be branching out to other types of stationery, such as birth announcements, business cards, greeting cards, other types of invitations and art prints produced by local and international artists. They also offer a letterpress printing service for customers who already have their own designs and would like them printed on a letterpress.
Chantal studied illustration at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City, while Joel graduated from the illustration program at Sheridan College. They are very inspired by turn-of-the-century illustration and also book frontispieces. Their invitations have a nostalgic and elegant look to them that is unique to Papillon Press and cannot be found elsewhere.”
