Our story

A small Kiwi workshop making Christmas a little more magical.

Letters From began on a kitchen table in 2022, with one fountain pen, a stack of cream paper, and a six-year-old who asked, very seriously, whether Santa really knew her name.

What started as a handful of letters for friends has become a tiny seasonal workshop on the Kāpiti Coast. We're a small team of two — a writer and a maker — and one beautiful old handwriting press that lays down real ink, in real cursive, on properly heavy paper.

Every letter is personalised. Every envelope is sealed by hand with deep red wax. Nothing is mass produced, and nothing leaves our workshop unless we'd be proud to slip it under our own children's tree.

The press

A restored handwriting press that puts real ink to paper — no laser print, no digital fonts.

The seal

Each envelope sealed with deep cranberry wax, stamped with our 'S' monogram.

The craft

Hand-checked, hand-folded, and posted by us. Small batches, every December.
