Inspired by origami, Pigeon, is a beautifully crafted combination of letter and envelope. A more satisfying alternative to the always-on, instant-gratification tools we all use to communicate with each other every day. Because even with all our hi-tech wizardry, nobody has managed to recreate the magic and joy of the hand-written letter.
Simply pen your letter (we can't help you with that bit), re-fold your sheet (don't worry, it's super simple!), address the new 'front' and close with a stamp!
About this pack:
Fern, honesty, witch hazel… these medicinal marvels have been picked in the artist’s back garden, bathed in the warm glow of gentle sunlight, and captured in print as deep blue cyanotypes. A creative collaboration with UK artist Jake Lever – we’re delighted with these botanical beauties – healing balm for the soul. Send one to show how much you care.
6 Pigeons per pack – each one different.
