Whether you’re searching for the perfect card, a special gift, or something to add a personal touch to your home, Belle & Union offers something for every occasion.

Antique Letterpresses and Workshops

One of the standout features of Belle & Union is the antique letterpresses, which are still hard at work creating beautiful paper goods in the studio. Visitors can see the presses in action, adding to the charm and uniqueness of the shop. In addition to the beautiful products on display, Belle & Union also offers workshops where you can learn about letterpress printing, creativity, and crafting. It’s a hands-on experience that brings the art of making to life.

History of Belle & Union

Belle & Union was officially established as a brick-and-mortar shop in the summer of 2018, but the brand itself was born back in the spring of 2012. For the first six years, Belle & Union operated primarily as a wholesale business, serving trade clients. However, the shop’s owners and supporters were eager for a more personal connection, which led to the decision to open the doors to the public. Since then, Belle & Union has become a beloved destination for those seeking beautiful, American-made products.

A Gift Shop with a Personal Touch

Although Belle & Union is listed under the flowers and gifts category, it’s important to note that the shop is primarily a gift shop. While they do offer small dried floral arrangements, they do not carry fresh flowers. The focus is on providing a wide range of unique gifts, stationery, and home goods that are sure to bring joy to anyone who receives them. Whether you’re looking for a special gift or a beautiful card to brighten someone’s day, Belle & Union is the perfect place to find something meaningful and beautifully crafted.
