About Paper Parasol Press

What started as a correspondence between Chicago, Illinois and St. Pete, Florida, turned into a creative business. Ten years later, we now call the San Francisco Bay Area home. We remain inspired by our Midwest roots and true to the colors and energy of the West Coast. We are fans of handwritten correspondence, human connections, and artful designs. All paper goods are printed in the USA by a second generation family print shop. Envelopes & paper are also from a family-owned paper mill. We work hard to search out partners and vendors to work with. This is also factored into the costs of our goods. If you or your customers are curious - yes, when you buy one of our greeting cards you're not only bringing PPP business, but keeping the money local by shopping at your brick and mortar. And, without maybe realizing it, bringing business to US-based suppliers and manufactures. Giving Back We believe in kindness and compassion to all living things, which is why animal welfare is extremely important to us. Like us, they deserve kindness, safety, love, and happiness. Seeing an animal get a second chance at a happy and thriving life is a rewarding experience. After all, they give so much in return and are a fundamental part of our families. 2020: Gentle Barn of California sponsorship of Bella the goat 2019: The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA of Burlingame, California and The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind.
