Alex & Olive

SURREY, UK

Alex & Olive is a small designer maker studio, thoughtfully crafting moments of connection.

We blend modern design with the traditional craft of letterpress to create slow-made quality paper products with an elevated, personal touch and stylishly simple aesthetic.

We pride ourselves on a planet-first approach to production; our greeting cards are individually printed in-house, using only 100% recycled papers, vegetable oil-based inks and good old hand power.

In a fast-paced and increasingly digital world, our mission is to foster meaningful connection through the tangible virtues of the handwritten and handcrafted.

The story behind the business
Meet Alex & Olive

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.

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!
