LetHerPress

Heather van Haaften’s LetHer Press Studio, created in Silver Lake, CA in 1989, whilst studying Communication Design at Otis Parson. Starting to collect wood/metal type from countless flea markets, Heather received her first C&P press from her families Minneapolis printing business. Perhaps it is the solvents that warped her brand to identify with droll mid century sorts and develop a line of witty paper goods where wordplay is king. In 1996, the studio moved to Cologne, then Berlin Germany and printed very good “Ginglish”, and returned to Los Angeles in 2011 and reside in a Koenig House in Tujunga, CA.

LetHerPress Studios features a product line that includes a paper line of greeting cards, coasters, cocktail napkins, gift tags, as well as custom wedding / birth announcements, business cards, and original letterpress WORD PLAY designs.
