Do you know Letterpress?

For brides-to-be who want to prepare invitations and paper items with just the right atmosphere—not too cute and not too simple—letterpress paper items are highly recommended♡

What is Letterpress?

The Charm of Letterpress♡

The biggest charm of letterpress is its texture! The three-dimensional effect that normal printing lacks creates a slightly luxurious atmosphere.

Moreover, since each piece is individually pressed by hand, the variations in color and texture can completely change the ambiance of each letter. It’s easy to create items with a warm, classical feel.
