Love Letters began life as a single set of gift cards for a good friend a couple of years ago. While hunting for a very special personal gift, it became clear there was a gap in the market for bespoke stationery and original paper products that have a personal touch. Our range has expanded a bit since then but our goal continues to be to create and produce products that are fun and original to the South African market. All our products are imaginative, original, excellent quality, and just plain gorgeous and are aimed at the individually-minded customer who wants something special and not mass-produced. Most of our products are packed, cut, punched, wrapped, strung and stuck by the very small team here at Love Letters HQ, so you know the product you get is handcrafted with love. And the products that aren’t created by us, are chosen by us for their original, just-gotta-have-it-ness. We focus on efficient service and good communication with our customers, who have placed a lot of trust in us by ordering a product they haven’t seen from someone they don’t know. We recognise this and take pride in the personal relationships we form with our customers. We are always working on developing new imaginative products, and our website is updated often so please keep coming back!
