Missive Letterpress

Missive creates stylish letterpress stationery for the modern paper lover. Founded by designer Lisa Willis, Missive has evolved into a stationery and gift brand focused on crafting unique, high quality paper goods that you’ll be delighted to send and receive. Her line is endlessly inspired by a love for her native California, with a minimalist aesthetic and a decidedly West Coast feel.

Our letterpress products are hand-printed on vintage presses dating from the mid-century. We print on sustainable and earth-friendly FSC certified and reclaimed cotton papers in our solar-powered studio and source our print materials from local suppliers whenever possible. What began as a one-woman operation has evolved into a wife and husband team—Lisa creates new designs for their collections while Gregory expertly runs the presses at their Pleasant Hill, California studio.

Why Missive? Missive is an old word, dating from the 15th century. From its etymology in Medieval Latin "mittere"—to send—it has come to mean a note or written message and evokes both intrigue and romance, a fitting term for the art of letterpress.
