Our story
A small house
for paper goods.
ANTSARA began at a kitchen table, with a stack of cotton paper, a jar of ink, and a stubborn belief that stationery deserves the care we give the words we write on it.
"We make the kind of things we hoped to find on our own desks — quietly, and one at a time."
We work with a small mill in the American Southwest for our cotton and felt papers, and print letterpress on a Vandercook flat that has been in use for sixty years. Every notebook is sewn in-house; every cover is trimmed by hand.
Our seasons are slow. We release a small collection twice a year, and keep the essentials — Atelier notebook, correspondence set, annual planner — in stock year-round.
Values
Paper, first.
Cotton and felt papers, milled with a light touch. Weighted enough to hold ink, soft enough to write on for hours.
Values
Made slowly.
Sewn bindings, hand-trimmed edges, letterpress on a sixty-year-old press. Small runs, quiet finishes.
Values
Made yours.
Nearly every piece can be monogrammed, foiled or embossed. Personalization is complimentary — always.
