Inspired by origami, Pigeon is a beautifully crafted combination of letter and envelope. Six pre-folded letters per pack, each folds to form its own envelope and is sealed with a stamp. Pigeons provide a deeply satisfying and more personal alternative to the always-on, instant-gratification tools we all use to communicate these days. If you don’t normally write letters, you’re in for an unexpected treat! Nothing digital can compare.
From the slow, waking joy and first light of dawn, to the warm, snug cosiness of dusk, these illustrations from the studio of Californian artist Katie O’Shea wonderfully capture both comfort and hope. Send a bright and colourful one to say a cheerful hello or a warmer, darker one as a long-distance hug. Small gifts of time and love, sent to special friends near and far.
6 Pigeons per pack – 3 unique illustrations, each in 2 colourways.
Pigeon creator John Morse-Brown fell out of love with social media. He came to realise that most, if not all, of his online interactions lacked a genuine sense of connection. What was needed, he decided, was a way of making letter writing fun, new, beautiful, and easy. As a graphic designer with a mechanical engineering degree, this looked like a fun problem to solve… and Pigeon is the result!

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax,
Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings.”
