The Marigold Suite
Our house suite: invitation, details card, vellum overlay and burnt-sienna wax seal on 600gsm cotton.
A small letterpress studio pressing wedding invitations and custom prints on thick cotton paper — deckled, debossed, sealed by hand.
A Lagos stationery studio pressing wedding invitations and custom prints on cotton paper, one sheet at a time. Everything leaves the studio on cotton paper thick enough to hold a bite — deckled by hand, debossed under the platen, sealed in sienna wax.
Bring a swatch, a wrapper, a photograph. We match it on the bench, not on a screen.
600gsm cotton, torn on all four edges, so the deboss sits deep and the corner softens with handling.
Twenty-five suites or two hundred. Art prints and studio goods have no minimum at all.
Packed in rigid paper sleeves and sent from Lagos, usually five to nine days in transit.
From the first save the date to the last thank-you note, cut from the same paper.
Signature suites and studio goods, pressed and stocked. Add to bag and we confirm your paper choice by email.
Our house suite: invitation, details card, vellum overlay and burnt-sienna wax seal on 600gsm cotton.
Quiet and minimal — blind deboss on sand-coloured stock, no ink, hand-torn on all four edges.
A pattern block drawn from adire indigo resist work, re-cut in sienna and pressed on cream card.
A three-colour suite with a blind-debossed monogram and torn vellum band.
Hand-poured sienna seals on unbleached envelopes, addressed in walnut ink.
Menus, place cards and table numbers cut from one sheet run.
A painted study of Yaba rooftops, reproduced as a signed giclée edition.
“A wedding invitation is the first thing anyone touches of your marriage. It should feel like it cost someone their afternoon.”
Four steps, roughly four to six weeks for a full letterpress suite.
You send the date, the guest count and anything you have already fallen for — a colour, a fabric, a photograph.
We pull paper samples, mix ink to match, and send two layout drafts for you to mark up.
Each sheet goes through the platen press one at a time. Edges are torn, seals poured, overlays folded.
We address, assemble and pack the suites in paper sleeves, then ship anywhere in the world.
“Guests kept the invitation. Two years on, a friend still has ours framed in her hallway.”
“They matched an ink to a scrap of my mother's wrapper. That is the level of care here.”
“I order our gallery print runs from Marigold now. Short runs, no drama, perfect registration.”
Send us your date, your guest count and a scrap of what you love. We reply within two working days with paper options and a quote.
