“Stationery is the first step in someone branding themselves,” says Wen, who has counted Jennifer Aniston, Janet Jackson and Katie Holmes among her clients since launching Soolip in 1995. “I [recently] got a call from Chris Pine’s assistant saying he wanted full letter-sized stationery on the best handmade paper that we had,” says Wen, who moved Soolip’s long-celebrated West Hollywood storefront to Westlake Village in 2022. “[Chris] wanted to write more and do less communication over email.”

While Sugar Paper’s Allie Adishian noted they have a handful of young custom clients, stationery designer Jonathan Wright says he’s seen an increased interest in greeting cards among twenty-somethings. “I wonder at times if younger generations see physically writing a note and sending it via snail mail as a cool vintage novelty.”

Jaymee Harney, founder of Jaymes Paper, says she actively courts young influencers on Instagram in hopes of inspiring a newfangled love of letter writing. Harney says influencers are “always very excited to receive our cards as they aspire to become a ‘handwritten note girly.’ They appreciate the subtle/blind deboss/emboss styles most.”

Stationery aside, Wen also creates influencer gifting boxes for brands and celebrities including musician Shawn Mendes as well as burgeoning brother-sister pop-soul band Lawrence.

But Wen’s true passion is paper.

“Letter writing is the physical manifestation of one’s heart,” she says, sharing that Soolip also offers workshops and yoga retreats that incorporate calligraphy, journal making, and bookbinding via soolip.com. “It’s an opportunity to slow down and to be more thoughtful.”
