Darcey and Tara met in Venice, CA, where they worked together designing award-winning pieces for a stationery and product design company. Over the years, they discovered that they have similar likes: paper, design, vintage life and putting letters and colors together. They decided to share their craft and ideas with others by creating invitations, announcements, stationery and, well, things. They packed their bags with pens, fonts, textures and inspiration and began their labor of love, Paperwink.

Paperwink is a stationery, invitation and branded experience company in Los Angeles. The company began with the philosophy of creating personalized pieces that set the tone for the affair and provide a taste of what's to come. Using the invitation as inspiration, Paperwink creates a branded experience to bring to life the personality of the clients and the style of the event. Many of the invitation samples show a unique style of mixing vintage elements with a modern flair.
