Our Story

We are a positive paper goods company that creates meaningful, personal connections by expressing love, gratitude and kindness. Our goal is to provide pure customer delight to everyone,
aged 1 to 101, so we can all send more love.

When your sister’s paintings make you stare at them, laugh out loud, tear up with nostalgia, and then laugh again, it makes you want to share them with other people. So two sisters and one cousin started E. Frances Paper, naming our new company after their two beloved grandmothers, Elizabeth and Frances.

We strive to make all of our products remarkable, both in quality and message. We feel that one of the best gifts you can give back to the world is to spread positive energy, so we hope your experience E. Frances Paper is filled with indubitable positivity.

Our Studio

We started in 2013 in Ali’s tiny guest room, and then moved through a series of hilarious offices as we grew. (The winner was definitely the storage unit with no electricity.) Now we get to go to work every day in our very own, absolutely beloved, renovated car garage in Newport, RI. It’s not just an office, it’s an insanely cool space.

Our Commitment

In an industry where plastic sleeves have become the norm, we recognize our role in the plastic waste issue. At E. Frances, we're actively working to be part of the solution. Committed to reducing plastic use, our ultimate goal is to embrace entirely plastic-free packaging. Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future and let's send more love to our planet.
