ABOUT US

 

Sugared Fig Paperie is a full-service calligraphy and design studio, offering wedding stationery
ranging from semi-custom suites to fully bespoke design service.

 
 

We truly hope to capture your unique love story through a beautifully-crafted suite that will provide your guests a first glimpse of the most special day of your life. As your guests receive a personalized, calligraphy-addressed envelope with their name, open the envelope to find a romantic, organic design that captures their attention, or glide their hands across letterpressed text, we want them to have a tactile, immersive experience with your wedding paper. Your wedding stationery is what first sets the tone for your event and provides your guests a little glimpse of your day. We not only want to create beautiful paper that encapsulates your wedding vibe, but gift you and your loved ones with a timeless keepsake, to cherish for years to come.


 
 

MEET CLAIRE

Growing up immersed in the printing industry, I began my journey into stationery design at a young age. My grandfather and later, my father have owned a printing company since the 80s, and I spent my childhood seeing the ins and out of print production. When my grandmother taught me how to paint oil paintings in elementary school, I become enamored with still-life, impressionistic floral artwork.
It wasn’t until high school until I put these two elements together, designing custom stationery for friends and event stationery for school function, having it produced at my family’s company.

A few years later, I opened up an online shop selling various paper goods, but once I delved into the wedding stationery world, I never turned back. Discovering the tactile nature of heirloom stationery- the kind that makes you stop and look at the intricacies of foil-stamped illustration or run your fingers across letterpress printing- and valuing the importance of creating timeless keepsakes for families to keep for generations drew me in. Over time, I have refined my craft and learned the best papers, the best printing methods, and have narrowed in on my aesthetic to create consistently luxurious, unique wedding invitations for my clients.

MEET KALIN

Kalin, Claire’s younger sister, began practicing calligraphy in 2016 when she received a beginner's calligraphy kit for Christmas! Soon after, she began working alongside Claire as the calligrapher for Sugared Fig Paperie while simultaneously being a full-time student at Texas A&M. During her college years, she invested her free time practicing and perfecting her work and posted on her own Instagram account dedicated to calligraphy. She was unsure of what post-graduation would look like, but as Sugared Fig was expanding, she officially joined the team in 2019. Getting to do calligraphy for a full-time job and working alongside her sister? A dream!

Over the past few years, Kalin has taken on a more prominent role in the company and now, in addition to being our in-house calligrapher, is our production manager, making sure all projects are printed, assembled, and packaged perfectly!
