An antiquarian brand for a new generation
Inspired by the nineteenth-century epigram, “use books as bees use flowers,” Honey & Wax specializes in striking books and printed ephemera meant to be used and loved. LetterShop has taken this mission to heart, designing materials with colors that pop off the shelf. We take joy in details like typographic flourishes and the tactile materials that make Honey & Wax’s materials so delectable.
A decade of print catalogues
Early on, Heather had a vision to create a set of annual catalogues that were meticulously photographed and designed with care and precision. We brought in the incomparable photographer Matt Carr who shot the catalogue every year of its production. The throughline from year one to eleven is apparent. Honey & Wax’s clients looked forward to the delivery each fall, and unlike many catalogues, these have been saved and treasured.
