Letterpress, by its very nature, gives a really bold impression (pardon the pun!) and makes texture and inked graphic details the stars of the stationery show. For a truly tactile invitation experience that your guests will want to keep touching long after the postman’s been, this traditional technique proves that the classics really will make an astounding impact.

Jane specialises in graphic-led, bold designs with lovely die-cut trimmings, but she can also turn her hand to very detailed, intricate designs. We’d say she has a particular flair for ‘modern vintage’ with a dash of rustic minimalism. Her eye for a sophisticated colour palette is second to none.
