Callidora Letterpress + Design

Callidora Letterpress + Design is a boutique letterpress and design studio located on the North Shore of Massachusetts, specializing in custom wedding invitations and event stationery. Founded by Carrie, a graphic designer with a BFA in graphic design, the studio handles every step of the process from initial design through final printing to maintain complete quality control. All letterpress pieces are hand-printed on a restored Golding Pearl Press from circa 1880, which Carrie personally restored over the course of a year after discovering it in a Rhode Island garage. The studio grew from designing and printing wedding invitations for friends into a full-time operation serving couples, new parents, and families for various special occasions. Carrie works from her studio creating custom designs for wedding invitations, birth announcements, party invitations, and other personalized stationery. The studio's approach focuses on creating pieces that feel less like traditional invitations and more like beautiful gifts, with an emphasis on expressing each client's individual aesthetic through custom design work.
