☞ Hello! Welcome to Alex & Olive, a small designer maker studio, thoughtfully crafting moments of connection.

Behind the brand is Alex, an illustrator from Surrey, England and ‘Olive’, a vintage Adana tabletop letterpress affectionately named after Alex’s dear late grandmother. Together, they blend modern design with traditional craft to produce quality paper products with an elevated, personal touch and stylishly simple aesthetic.

In a fast-paced and increasingly digital world, their mission is to foster meaningful connection through the tangible virtues of paper and the letterpress process, nurturing a slower way of being that is more thoughtful, considered and kinder to ourselves and the planet. Alex & Olive adopt a ‘low and slow’ approach to production that values craftsmanship, sustainability and the human touch. Their cards are consciously hand-printed in small batches and they only use 100% recycled paper and vegetable-based inks.

The craft of letterpress gifts paper with an unrivalled sense of luxury and authenticity that modern printing methods can’t replicate. Sadly, it’s an endangered craft much like the art of handwritten correspondence, but Alex & Olive are keeping them alive and proudly preserving the ‘human touch’ one card at a time! ❤︎
