The studio

A pond, a stylus and a stack of envelopes

Lily Pad Post began with a sketchbook full of frogs and one very slow snail. What started as a way to decorate letters turned into cases, stickers, prints and charms that people carry around every day — which still feels like the nicest thing in the world.

Illustrated home studio with plants, drying prints and a drawing tablet

Designed with care

No clip art, no stock templates. Every creature starts as an original digital illustration, drawn by hand on a tablet.

Small runs only

We print a few dozen at a time so nothing sits in a box for a year.

Kindly packed

Kraft paper, twine, recycled mailers and a free sticker in every parcel.
