Award-winning Ladyfingers Letterpress is an LGBTQ+ owned-and-operated stationery and gift brand based in Colorado Springs, founded by designer + printmaker couple, Arley Torsone and Morgan Calderini.

We launched our business in 2011 when our own wedding invitation went viral and we quickly became very busy producing (totally insane!) one-of-a-kind wedding invitations for the most creative and amazing clients. After the weddings were over, our clients would come back and ask if we had any letterpress cards to celebrate holidays, birthdays, etc. As a result, we decided to launch a humble line of greeting cards at the 2013 National Stationery Show and to our surprise, the line took off and our products are now sold in over 800 stores around the world.

Hills & Holler is the love child of artists Brandon Patrick and Michael Wooldridge. We make goods for magical beings! Our aim is to pay homage to our queer elders, uphold intersectional-or-bust politics, and uplift those in our community who have done the WORK. The vibe is like a West Coast Commune met a Stoner Country Store near a Queer Summer Camp... Yeah, we like it too :) Hills & Holler is operated from a little home dome in Austin, TX. We can't wait to spread the love with you!

Founded in 2003 by husband-and-wife team Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung, Poketo has grown from a small startup into a creative hub and online destination. A lifestyle brand born out of the desire to infuse art and design into every day,  Poketo creates collections of design-conscious goods to cultivate a creative lifestyle. The name Poketo (pronounced “poh-keh-toe”) stems from the mispronunciation of “pocket” by Angie’s grandmother. It tied in perfectly with the first product ever created under Poketo: a series of artist wallets that fit right in your pocket—and Ted and Angie just loved the way it sounded.
