Filed under: Luxury Shopping

One of my favorite things to shop for at Christmastime is beautiful new holiday cards to send out to my friends and family (although finding time to write in and stamp them all is another matter). Vera Wang has captured the spirit of the holidays with a combination of traditional and contemporary images created with classic letterpress and engraving techniques that bring out the rich detailing, colors, and textures that she's known for. And in addition to the ready-to-send Christmas designs there are also several versions with slots for inserting family photos and other personalizations. $254-$456/box of 50

Many of the high-low collaborations we see are in the fashion arena but fine stationery company, Crane & Co. is taking a cue from those partnerships. It has announced a new multi-year agreement with greeting card company American Greetings Corp. to produce a greeting card collection called Perfectly Said by Crane & Co. Gifts & Decorative Accessories says that the line will be launched in Wal-Mart exclusively. Cards will be printed on higher grade paper stock with a number of special finishes. There are plans to potentially extend the line beyond Wal-Mart.

Gilded Age Greetings, Cards Embellished With Precious Gems

Filed under: Art

Once upon a time, paper was precious and books and illuminated manuscripts were precious works of art. Now as we work toward a less paper-heavy society, books and other printed works are once again more valuable as works of art rather than simple reading matter. We've seen a whole spate of luxury books and Gilded Age Greetings takes the world of greeting cards back to a luxury level with a line of hand-crafted, heirloom-quality greetings embellished with 23K gold. One line, the Grand Couture line, even includes handset cabochon jewels, including amethyst, emeralds, rubies, and red and green garnets.
