Fruit of the Loon

Peach Press Studio and Stationery

What to do when the apple of your eye’s day has been a real lemon?

Use your melon. Pick a piece of Peach Press.

Started by two native Californian, now Westsider besties (one of whom also happens to helm custom design studio Lilikoi), the letterpress stationery company makes blank note cards for your sentiments exactly, whatever they may be.

The just-because range is real plum with Subtle Jungle, fold-overs with cream-on-white textured animal prints, and Tree Rings, a thoroughly modern take on old-fashioned faux bois. The Nostalgia collection’s pretty cherry with imagery of the historic penny farthing, phonograph, and acoustic guitar. And some are even a little bananas, like the Sweet Nothings collection of flats emblazoned with “hot buns,” “olive you,” and “I love your humps.”

Orange you glad they’ve arrived?
