About Bookstore Pigeon Folded Letter Writing Pack
Inspired by origami, Pigeon, is a beautifully crafted combination of letter and envelope.

About the Artist
Chris Andrews, the talented illustrator and printmaker behind the Bookshop Pigeon Folded Letter Writing Pack, brings a distinctive style to his craft that evokes a sense of vintage charm and nostalgia. Based in Bedfordshire, UK, Andrews’ work is characterized by striking compositions, vibrant use of colour, and a tactile, textural quality that lends his designs a timeless appeal.
With a portfolio that includes collaborations with prestigious clients such as Ted Baker, Farrow and Ball, and the British Library, Andrews has firmly established himself as a versatile and accomplished artist. However, it is his vintage-inspired British bird and animal screen prints that have truly captured the hearts of art enthusiasts both in the UK and across the globe.
Recalling the captivating graphics and typography found in 1940s educational books, Andrews’ screen prints evoke a sense of heritage and craftsmanship that resonates with admirers of classic design. This attention to detail and historical influence is beautifully translated into the Bookshop Pigeon collection, where the intricate, book-filled illustration invites the recipient to step into a cosy, literary haven.
