New letterpress wedding invitation

We work with a wedding salon on Long Island that extends a discount at Meurice to their customers. In the past, we’ve handed out gift cards, but I decided I wanted to give them something a little more memorable. So, I designed these custom wedding invitations and printed them letterpress-style.

Yellowed, 60-year-old christening gown restored (even I don’t believe how great this looks!)

Meurice will be running with Filene’s brides… wish us luck!

We love wedding gowns. We love interacting with brides. We’ve just never answered questions for more than five hundred of them at one time before! For the uninitiated, here’s the basic premise: once a year, each Filene’s Basement location holds a massive bridal event. Overstock gowns that might have originally sold from $900 to $9,000 [...]

Before and after: stroller detailing

This phil & ted sport stroller came to us a bit haggard. The owner tried cleaning it repeatedly, but the dark splotchy stains came back. When she brought it into us, we saw that we were dealing with a severe case of mold. We disassembled the buggy, cleaned each fabric surface individually, and carefully put [...]
