Pigeon Post x 6 Pack: Dusk to Dawn
Inspired by origami, Pigeon is a beautifully crafted combination of letter and envelope. John Morse-Brown came up with the idea of Pigeon after he fell out of love with social media. Six pre-folded letters per pack, that fold into their own envelope which can then be sealed with a stamp, will provide a deeply satisfying and more personal alternative to the always-on, instant-gratification tools we all use to communicate these days. Pigeon's are a way of making letter writing fun, new, beautiful, and easy. The envelope is integral to the letter, and the space to write on is not too daunting. It's also the perfect size to hold a Polaroid photo, so you can slip in a selfie! The designs mean each Pigeon is a small object of beauty. A letter holds its value, and that helps foster a genuine sense of connection that can sustain true friendship. Nothing digital can compare. If you don’t normally write letters, you’re in for an unexpected treat! A beautifully different way to show you're thinking of someone.
