Chelsea Shukov's Stationery

Sugar Paper founder Chelsea writing a note at her desk on her custom stationery

There is something special about personalized paper. It's a simple luxury that feels elegant and well, personal. Designing personalized stationery is what we do best. It's (quite literally) the very first type of printing that started it all and it continues to be our favorite thing to print on a letterpress for our clients. With that in mind, we gathered up some of our favorite orders to show you the beautiful paper we print-and the beautiful women who value sending notes just as much as we do.

We sat down with Chelsea and we're so excited to share her story with you. Enjoy.

Clearly our founder, Chelsea Shukov, loves paper. She grew up writing thank you notes and collecting paper ephemera. She started dabbling with a letterpress 15 years ago with her best friend, now co-founder, Jamie Grobecker. More and more people started to take notice and more and more orders were placed. Sugar Paper was born. Chelsea has carried on her mother's tradition of letter writing and can often be found in between meetings jotting down a quick note to a friend, a thank you note to a hostess, or a follow up note to a colleague. And of course, almost every one of us who works at Sugar Paper has received a note of gratitude from her at one point or another.
