Love at First Sight: Gryphon Spring Notebook
What: Standard fashion week equipment gets a colorful update from San Francisco’s Gryphon Stationers with this limited-edition notebook.
Why: Not to knock the ol’ Moleskine standby, but this season I’ll be jotting fashion week musings in this decidedly more modern—and more fun—grass-green notebook with a bicoastal pedigree. Spread throughout its luxuriously textured pages (would you expect mere flat paper from a bespoke stationery house?) are wry pop-art drawings from Brooklyn-based illustrator Joel Holland, certain to give you a smile even if you’re scribbling a serious hatchet job on the facing leaf.
Where: To purchase one of the 150 hand-numbered editions, call (415) 565-7125, or visit www.gryphonstationers.com for more information.

Design for All
The words "cutting edge" and "engraving" aren't typically used in the same sentence–but Trina Hancock and Erik Olsen, the visionary duo behind Gryphon Stationers, a line of fully customizable invitations, may take issue with that.
"I see engraving as ver modern" Hancock says. "You can use a level of detail that you can't get with letterpress. And you can use metallic and light colored inks on dark card stocks."
Engraved invitations are elevated even further with Gryphon's ingenious online ordering system, where couples can create their dream invitations by choosing from 12 different designs. Users select color and fonts; Gryphon smartly offers wording advice to ensure proper language and ettiquette.
If you're not design-savvy, no need to fear. "We made the website a win-win situation. All of the colors go together, and the text isn't going to run off the page" Hancock says. "The preview you see is what the invitation is going to look like, and you'll get an e-mail proof for final approval."
Perhaps sometimes, what you see really is what you get.

Splendora
Splendora.com, the authority on fabulous
There are invitations which relay event details in a vaguely dressed up way, and then there are those whose design is so beautifully crafted that they qualify as artwork. Creations by Gryphon Stationers fall into the latter category, which is why they have quickly become an obsession at Splendora HQ. They transcend elegance, fusing the highest quality paper stock, customized monograms, and rich color schemes to form multi-dimensional pieces that are imaginative and classy. Deep eggplant embossed with gold and decorated with intricate script or a lovely and simple piece emblazoned with ice blue text - these are just two examples of Gryphon's refined work.
The company invites clients to integrate themselves into the design process to ensure that the final result feels irrevocably personal. In many ways, you play designer, giving your "yay" or "nay" along each step of layout and development. If you hail from the San Francisco area, you can schedule an in-person consultation appointment, but non-locals can utilize the convenient online customization service to order invitations, announcements, and stationery from afar. Whatever option you choose, Gryphon guarantees that your letterpressed and engraved goods will radiate regality, impressing the recipient and calling for you to frame it for posterity.
