\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPigeon Atelier Letterpress is a creative studio that makes fine stationery and lifestyle products such as greeting cards, notebooks, soy candles and more. Our philosophy leads us against digital times, bringing us back to the essential, to authenticity. We believe that every detail is important in our creations. Our stationery line is printed on our antique Chandler & Price (1892) press, using traditional letterpress printing techniques, offering a visual and tactile experience on high quality papers. Each piece is handcrafted to offer a unique product.

Our hand-poured candles are made from 100% natural soy wax. Their fragrances come from a blend of essential oils and aromatic essences, chosen for their many beneficial properties (relaxing, invigorating, etc.). Our products are designed and developed in Quebec by Pigeon’s creative team in their small studio, located in Mercier, near Montreal.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
