Locust Street Press Services

Our workshop, housed in a genuine 1950s bomb shelter, features 20 vintage and modern presses. We create exceptional quality invitations, business cards, notecards and holiday cards, stationery, calendars and more using the finest materials and techniques.

Don’t mistake us, though: Just because we’re vintage-inspired and handmade doesn’t mean we aren’t timely, because we are. We adore collaboration, and we craft each and every product with care, dedication and — yes, it’s true — love.
