Pretty Papers for Particular People

Welcome to Caldwell’s!
For those who care how things are given, our vintage inspired paper goods make it easy to express affection with beauty and intention. Our stationery collections - including gift wrap, postcards, gift tags, and stickers - are designed to help you mark life’s moments with thoughtfulness and grace. Each piece features exclusive imagery drawn from a private archive of historic books and ephemera, offering richness, detail, and charm - so your gifts feel considered before they are even opened. Whether kept on hand for everyday correspondence or chosen for a special occasion, these Pretty Papers are made to help you tell your story with care.

Each collection is curated and shaped by our founder, Heather Caldwell, who spent years as a Harvard librarian studying, preserving, and living with historic papers - so you can give with confidence, ease, and quiet distinction.
