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 designed by our team in the Pacific Northwest.

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. From our start as an Etsy shop selling handmade wedding favors back in 2013, we have built our brand by partnering with small-scale artisans and manufacturers based in the U.S. When you purchase one of our goods, you are acquiring a carefully crafted, bespoke item that was designed, packaged, & sent out with tradition, love, and care by the Studio Portmanteau team in Grants Pass, Oregon. We hope you enjoy these heirloom treasures for years to come.

Our letterpress where we craft some of our goods by hand

Our items are stocked in over 2,000 shops, boutiques, and small businesses around the country and abroad. Studio Portmanteau has been featured on Architectural Digest, BRIDES, Design*Sponge, Minted Weddings, Etsy Blog, Etsy Finds, The Faire Blog, MyDomaine, and Rock My Wedding, among other websites & blogs.

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,
