<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While it is true that new stationery brands keep our market fresh, it also remains somehow true that there is nothing truly new under the sun. What is new and unable to be truly replicated, however, is the distinctive spark behind each brand, derived from its original interpretation of a fixed number of design elements. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://modloungepapercompany.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="The Mod Lounge Paper Company">Mod Lounge Paper Company</a> stands a bit apart in today&#8217;s stationery marketplace, then, in its mission to celebrate all things Mid Century Modern. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think geometric designs and patterns paired with vintage housewives and pinups. &#8220;It brings back a sense of cozy and classic nostalgia in today&#8217;s crazy times,&#8221; its founder Jennifer Caminiti wrote me.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;d seen this range here and there at markets and amongst Stationery Trends submissions, but come March 1, the young range is already turning three! Happily, after &#8220;almost two years of figuring things out,&#8221; Jennifer&#8217;s wholesale business has really picked up, she continued. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I went from being in 10 stores, to over 250 a little over a year. Reorders are coming in — love that! Means validation to me :) — and I just finished my second trade show in Atlanta, making some great connections.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s always exciting for me to hear of such positive momentum, and honestly, figuring things out in two years is pretty admirable! As someone who grew up tagging along with my Mom to estate sales, flea markets and house sales, I adore the retro vibe, especially when reinterpreted through 21st-century eyes. </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-19221" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-19221 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="19221" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10018244 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-alfred-sung tag-bash tag-bottle tag-design tag-desk-accessories tag-gry-mattr tag-joe-fresh tag-joe-mimram tag-notebook tag-petite-bottle tag-poete-notebook tag-ross-mortimer tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-thomas-lelu tag-w-hotel" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/thomas-lelu-x-gry-mattr/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=120%2C120&;ssl=1 120w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=275%2C275&;ssl=1 275w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=372%2C372&;ssl=1 372w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=567%2C567&;ssl=1 567w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=882%2C882&;ssl=1 882w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?resize=50%2C50&;ssl=1 50w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GM-01-25-48-Edit-2-3.jpg?zoom=2&;resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 200w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/thomas-lelu-x-gry-mattr/">Thomas Lélu x gry mattr</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2025-04-10T17:19:28+00:00">April 10, 2025</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10018244"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
