Captivated by vintage documents found while researching her Galliano Club historical thriller series, author Carmen Amato began CARMEN + CLOVER to revive the art of heartfelt correspondence.
Our paper goods are inspired by rare books, unique antiques, and historical patent drawings to delight and intrigue.
When was the last time you got a real letter in the mail?
In the not-so-distant past, handwritten notes and letters created a record of friendships and a timeline of milestones.
Now all we get is an avalanche of junk mail that goes straight into the trash.
Sad, right? But there’s a hidden opportunity in that pile of glossy catalogs.
People are thrilled when they receive a genuine handwritten note in the mailbox.
It stands out.
It’s memorable.
A handwritten note on quality stationery takes a relationship, whether personal or business, to a place of authenticity.
And from there, anything is possible.
