A literary themed stationery pack
6 beautifully crafted folding letters, each inspired by the joy of books and handwritten connection
Printed on FSC-certified paper using vegetable-based inks, these eco-friendly letters make perfect gifts for readers, book club gifts and lovers of a written note
Each Pigeon letter opens to reveal a generous writing space, then folds neatly back into its own envelope and seals with a stamp — a complete, ready-to-send letter that celebrates the art of slow, intentional communication. There’s a particular magic in receiving a handwritten note through the post, especially for readers who cherish quiet rituals and personal moments

John Morse-Brown founded Pigeon in 2019 after falling out of love with social media and people's news being broadcast to everyone at once. Pigeon offers something different: narrow-casting – a one-to-one, deeply personal form of connection that feels intentional, thoughtful, and deeply personal.As a graphic designer with a mechanical engineering degree, who happens to love origami, he decided to find a way of making letter writing fun, new, beautiful, and easy.
And Pigeon was the result!
The envelope is integral to the letter, and the space to write in is not too daunting. He sometimes describes it as 'like Twitter (X), but with a pen'. Once you get a correspondence going, you’ll always have your friend’s address to hand inside their latest letter. They're also the perfect size to hold a Polaroid photo, so you can slip in a selfie. And the designs mean each Pigeon is a small object of beauty.
If you don’t normally write letters, you’re in for an unexpected treat – the completely irrational joy of not receiving an instant reply to your message… It sounds perverse in our day and age, that having to wait can feel good. But it really does. There’s a real pleasure in knowing that, in the next day or two, a friend will receive a completely personal note from you - just from you, and that you might get a hand-written reply sometime after that. Delayed gratification is good for the soul!
Sending one letter to one friend and waiting for one reply is entirely satisfying. It’s personal and unique; narrowcasting, not broadcasting.
Romantic as it sounds, with a letter you end up with a little part of your friend, to keep, forever. A letter holds its value, and that helps sustain true friendship. Nothing digital can compare.
