Get me to the ball

Postcards

If formalities are to be observed in style - a thank you, a sale, the arrival of new products - then it is most fitting to do so using a design derived from a stylish and formal society - such as 19th Century Paris.

About the designer preview

Manners are an important part of business. It's not just about deference to the customer, but if you act with respect, you get respect back. So with this Postcard design, we wanted to deliver something of the formalised code of manners that the Victorians and Edwardians held dear, with a bit of charm - hence these line-drawn French seamstress mannequins.
