A new generation of greeting cards, Pergamino comes from a fresh and innovative concept. “Our aim is to give greeting cards a much needed facelift,” says Chicago-based founder Monica Luburich, who has a background in fashion and advertising. “I knew what I wanted the cards I bought to look like, and what I wanted them to read, but I was hard-pressed to find” Through their images and captions, Pergamino cards communicate modern women’s humor, friendships and aspirations - a marked departure from the tired, irrelevant artwork usually found in greeting cards. The cards’ messages are sharp and funny, reflecting the way smart, witty women communicate the world over. Luxurious and beautifully designed, they are unique and functional works of art. The defining characteristics of Pergamino greeting cards are the stunning illustrations of women (or Pergies, characters that were born out of the creator's imagination), who don über-chic clothing and fresh attitudes. The cashmere-soft texture of the paper used makes them as divine to touch as they are to look at. In addition, all envelopes are hand-lined with the exquisite Pergamino insignia royal purple paper. Best of all, greeting cards are only $4.99. Boxed stationery sets start at $30.00
