About
Welcome to Studio Portmanteau! We are a stationery brand happily based out of a bright, cheerful studio space in a historic building in the heart of downtown Grants Pass, Oregon. Each product sold in the shop is a one-of-a-kind creation dreamed up by our team in the Pacific Northwest. We combine eight years of embossing and letterpress experience with strong design insight to bring you high-quality orders that fit your needs.
We have built our brand by partnering with fellow artisans and small-scale manufacturers based in the USA. Every material we work with is carefully sourced from and designed with experienced vendors and skilled artisans to be high-quality, durable, and timeless, be it paper, leather, wood, or linen. All orders are shipped out of our studio in Grants Pass, Oregon, USA. Our own design work is inspired by a passion for the simple things in life - stargazing, beachcombing, gardening, reading, cooking, the great outdoors - plus a fascination with vintage things and an obsession with all things golden.

Our design team is happy to work with you on a custom order for a special day, a heartfelt gift, or something for yourself!

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email or message with any questions, comments, memorable stories, fun photos, or other feedback about your newly inherited keepsakes.
So where did the shop name come from? A portmanteau is an old French word for a box or suitcase that opens into two equal parts (much like our vintage-inspired matchboxes, which were our first product back in 2013). The shop logo is derived from an antique lock on an old leather suitcase. And how in the world do you pronounce portmanteau? It rhymes with studio (port-man-toe). :)
Thank you for supporting a passionate small business based on long-standing traditions of fine craftsmanship and beautifully made heirloom goods!
Warm regards,
Jessica Cunningham
