concrete lace :: letterpress

Concrete Lace, LLC was founded in 2008 by sisters Carla Kaiser, Katie Daniels, and their mother, Brenda Davis.

Each item we make is printed in our studio in Atlanta, GA. Many of the designs on Concrete Lace cards are hand illustrated, all are printed by hand (letterpress or screenprinting), and are cut and folded by hand. We package in biodegradable sleeves, and every piece of paper and every envelope is made in the USA.

We provide custom designed letterpress branding materials for businesses (business cards, letterheads) or individuals (custom stationery, wedding invitations). We also offer "casual calligraphy" services to those who want a detailed touch that is certain to make a great impression.

We are proud to have a partnership with Atlanta's "The Paper Lady," Katy DeMent, and are pleased to be able to offer custom letterpress wedding invitations on handmade paper.
