We’re excited to introduce...Ampersand and Papillon Stationery

It’s time for this version of Papillon Press to come to an end. After 5 years of running a business together from 400 miles apart (and 4 years in the same city before that!) we have decided that our creative endeavors can better grow in a more independant way.

So, what’s next? Vernon will be branding as “Ampersand” in Grand Rapids while continuing to produce prints under “Papillon Press”, and Madeleine will be branding as “Papillon Stationery” in St. Louis. You can expect a new retail space coming in GR, and the shop will continue to operate in the current STL location. Papillon Press “the brand”, will otherwise be phasing out over the next few months as we start to integrate our new brands. There will be another announcement when each of our new websites launch. For now, stay tuned, and many, many, thanks for your continued support.
