South Shore Paperie - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

They were closed on a Saturday at 1:06PM without any sign or indication they were closed. Please update hours.

Super creative cards, etc - printed beautifully. There's even parking! Highly recommend!

We had just finished a delicious breakfast next door at Sweet E's, and as we were walking to the car, I stopped to look in the window to this stationary shop. They were closed (they are closed every Sunday), but the door was ajar and then the owner walked up to me and asked if I wanted to look around. Nice! It turns out she had a client meeting that morning and so she let us browse around while she was meeting with her client. What friendly service. I loved the stationary. Most of the creations are her own and she said that she makes them using a letterpress that she has at home. Wow. Her designs are original and much more elegant than anything that you can buy at Hallmark. Although it's more expensive than the generic cards that you can buy at Hallmark or Longs, the quality of the paper and elegant designs justifies the price. read more

South Shore Paperie - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Looking for great custom stationery for any occasion or pre-printed note cards/thank you cards? Look no further than this cute stationery boutique, South Shore Paperie! I ordered 25 bridal shower invitations (digitally printed) for my daughter a few months ago, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the finished product! I wanted something personal, original, and with the color scheme of my daughter's wedding; however, I did not have a specific format in mind. Its owner/graphic designer by trade, Stacey Nomura, was so helpful in showing me various designs and color schemes of invitations that they had previously done. She also helped to revise some of my wording and fonts to make it picture perfect, printed the names/addresses of the invitees on the front of the envelopes, printed my return address on the back of the envelopes, and printed blank recipe cards (she suggested these be printed on a set card, otherwise, recipes would be submitted in all shapes and forms). I also ordered matching thank you cards. The entire process was during their busiest time of year (Oct./Nov.) when they were in the midst of designing/printing custom Christmas cards ordered by the 1000's. My order took several weeks, going back and forth via e-mail and visits to her business, to ensure my complete satisfaction. (For those who know me, I tend to scrutinize details like this until the end result is picture perfect in my eyes.) And Stacey did not let me down, as she was a fantastic help based on her creative expertise and experience. Furthermore, the cost of the invitations was very reasonable. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=cSCGz9zKdr0p0xjPYjro1Q I had so many compliments from those who received the invitations, e.g., they were so pretty, elegant, artfully creative, nice colors, etc. I was so pleased with the outcome, as I did not want to use those fill-in-the-blank invitations or bother to do my own on a computer. Prior to going to SSP, I did check with some of the larger stationery stores; however, I did not receive the personal attention as I did with SSP. Further, these larger stores printed them on the Mainland, which included a longer processing time + a shipping charge. Wished we could have also ordered wedding invitations from SSP; however, we did not know about SSP at the time a commitment was made elsewhere. Started in 2005, SSP is owned/operated by a husband (Ian) and wife (Stacey) team. Their business is unique in that they are one of a few stationers that provide letterpress printing, i.e., letters/designs deeply pressed into luxurious cardstock using hand-mixed inks via a letterpress machine; it creates a beautiful, textured print that is slowly disappearing due to computerized digital processes. In 2007, they purchased a Heidelberg Windmill letterpress, which was made in Germany in 1960 and weighs more than 3000 pounds. You can actually smell the scent of the inks while the letterpress machine is clunking as it prints the stationery. Besides letterpress and digital printing, SSP provides stationery design, illustration, and graphic design services. They carry their exclusive line of quality stationery that they've created on their own called Bradley & Lily Fine Stationery, which is named after their two young children. They also carry a selection of unique hard-to-find stationery items that are handpicked by Ian and Stacey, which include small gifts, wrapping paper, ribbons, note books, note cards, greeting cards, and vintage postcards in both letter-pressed and digital formats. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=lrkYy4v2ZFHLyXFcpB67Nw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=BcHnQwrqBQgAkWIwl6ETqA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=g8Vz92-22sfwn57rtLauEw Located in Kilohana Square in Kapahulu with free parking available in a private lot. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=mQ-tSf3pwjTM7whisMgorA I can't wait until the next time when I'll need custom-made invitations for a special occasion. As I still correspond via "slow mail" with a pen pal since the 2nd grade, I now know where I can find a charming, unique greeting card or notecard. These creative, one-of-a-kind, and quality stationery items are waiting for me at SSP. read more

The mainland has Rifle Paper Company and we have South Shore Paperie. It's the same store as the Bradley & Lily listing on Yelp. I now know where to go if I'm ever looking for beautiful wedding, birthday, thank you, or any other special card. I originally saw their cards at Owens & Co and wanted to check out their store front location. So glad I came! Cards and beautiful stationary! Some with letterpress and they do custom invites as well. All their cards have a little island twist to them and I love that about it as it adds so much love and character to each card. The quality is great and the price is not cheap but I think well worth the quality and original designs. You save by buying the bulk cards rather than singles. I believe they carry a couple designers but Bradley & Lily is by far my fave. These are the types of cards when you receive from a friend, you know they love you. They're that special and beautiful looking. They even have discounted cards, which have minor errors (like a small stray line) and are a total steal! I've decided I'm coming here for all my future wedding and birthday card needs so that everyone can feel a little special when they get this pleasant surprise. Oh and another great thing is they are open on Saturday. Yay! Come visit, browse the pretty pieces, and pick up a few cards or two and support this great store! read more

This is a little gem of a small business! The owner (sorry I didn't catch your name) creates little works of art with eco friendly materials. I am so glad I happened to stop in while waiting for breakfast at Sweet Es- we stocked up on cards and journals for gifts. read more

We love the Bradley and Lily line of note cards made here. In addition, they carry a curated line of local and kid's gift items. Ian, the proprietor, is unfailingly nice and very patient. read more

So kawaii! Stopped by South Shore Paperie after a lunch with yelpers and it's the cutest stationary store EVER! They have custom cards for every occasion and it brings you back to a time when we weren't completely obsessed with email and smartphones. Remember when penmanship actually meant something?! There is something sincerely beautiful and elegant about a custom made card. The thought, the care, the love is apparent in the quality of the paper and the descriptive fonts. In a Walmart world, a shop like the South Shore Paperie has brought eloquence back to the days of "Pride & Prejudice!" Jane Austin would surely be proud! There's an old typewriter that sits on a table by the entrance and the owner's Grandfather's chandelier hangs from the ceiling. I think that says a lot about what South Shore Paperie stands for. Great for cards of any occasion, custom birthday or wedding invites or just to show someone how special they are to you. There is love in the details and this store is full of detail.

This store is pretty small but there are lots of things to look at! The paper goods may seem expensive at first but you should take into account that these are locally made with local themes and very classy yet cute--not the cheap, cheesy, touristy stuff you find at Walmart or Waikiki. They have postcards, notebooks, folded cards, place cards, stickers, and lots of other random knick-knacks. I wish they had letter paper too. They had an assortment of modern spin-offs of vintage toys and cute children's books. There was a Ganesha book by Sanjay Patel that I remember in particular because I saw an article about the artists on the Internet and was surprised to see it in this store. There was smooth jazz playing when I was there, which was a nice touch. I believe you can also get customized stationary here too. The service was quite friendly. We weren't greeted instantly but I think the staff member might've been in the back when we came in. We came on a Monday afternoon--they typically aren't open on Mondays but maybe they had extended hours during the holidays. Just be aware that the parking is limited, especially if you come when other stores have their peak hours (ex: Sweet E's). Highly recommend if you're in to stationary or even if you just want to see some whimsical things! read more

South Shore Paperie - Cute and classy local designs! None of that cheesy touristy stuff. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I wanted a shop that sells high-quality, creative cards, not just what you'd find at Long's or a Hallmark. Good stationary and a hand-written note are rare in these times and go a long way. It's a small shop tucked away in a little shopping center, but they have a great selection. They offered a lot of seasonal options for this Xmas time. The prices were what I'd expect: $4-5.5 per card. The gentleman working was really helpful and polite. I'd highly recommend this paperie for all your card and stationary needs. read more

I love this store! The lost art of handwritten notes are recaptured by this fabulous boutique. From the moment I peeked in the windows, to the time I stepped in, I was captivated, and overwhelmed with the beautiful details put in place to make the place warm and inviting.

I honestly had to contain myself because my luggage wasn't big enough to fit all the great things they had there!

Their business is tucked away amongst many other small businesses. They have so many neat designs and they all mostly pay tribute to the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Definitely stop by! Plenty of street parking nearby. Your friends, family, and pretty much anyone will love receiving custom made, artful, and tasteful paper creations. read more

I wanted a special 1st wedding anniversary gift for a friend and knew South Shore Paperie was the place to find it. I've been shopping here for several years for their beautiful note cards but needed personalized stationery on this visit. Ian was wonderful to work with. We chose preliminary fonts and he e-mailed examples and what I could expect in a finished product. He was so intuitive to what I wanted and delivered note cards that more than met my expectations. I should mention I was on a short time line and that he had them in Virginia before the celebration. A quality product with personalized service and a personal touch--that's why we buy local. read more

While waiting for an hour for breakfast from Sweet E's Cafe, I strolled over to this new place just next door. This unique and different stationary store had so many beautiful things to offer. They even custom print your Christmas cards for you. I believe they're the only place that will do this locally. Their invitations and cards were superb. I hope they survive in this location. My favorite flower shop is here and this card shop is also in the same spot. Kilohana Square is becoming such an interesting curio place to visit. read more

The best cards on the island. From the designs all the way down to the quality of the paper, South Shore Paperie has amazing products. In addition to their amazing products they also have an awesome owner, Ian. Ian is extremely kind, friendly and helpful. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite small businesses in Hawaii! I highly recommend this place! read more

Beautiful shop. My wife selected this shop to create custom wedding invitations, wedding menus and bridal shower invitations for her sister's wedding. The prices were very reasonable (compared to NYC where we are from) and the quality was better. The owner is wonderful and extremely helpful. They also have a great selection of stock cards - we just purchased some "Mahalo" cards today. A great way to send thanks to everyone who traveled from far away to the wedding. read more

It looks small from the outside, but boy, there's a lot of good stuff inside! Very high quality and unique items, featuring Bradley & Lily (local designers) cards and specialty stationery, along with notebooks, gifts and general fun esoterica. Saw one of the customer service persons preparing a batch of special order invitations, and WANTED some! Will definitely use them for my next big party!!! read more
