A year of good mail
A seasonal mail club from the studio of Urbanic.
Four seasons a year and your birthday month. A personal letter, beautiful paper things and good discoveries collected along the way, sent like a note from a friend with a very good eye, so every envelope feels like a little gift.
Limited editions | Handcrafted in Los Angeles

For the love of getting mail
I've always loved finding a real letter in the mailbox. The anticipation of opening it, the excitement of discovering what's inside, and knowing someone took the time to send it.
Collected Post is my way of sharing what I'm learning, loving and making each season. A collection of good things, tucked into an envelope and sent your way. Something to open slowly, at the kitchen table, with a coffee. Something to brighten your day. Something to keep.

What's inside
Each edition is designed around a seasonal theme, then printed and assembled by hand in my studio in small batches, so every piece feels like part of a collection. Here's a peek at what you might find inside.

Something to look forward to
Give the gift that keeps arriving
For the friend who still keeps cards in a drawer. The mother who taught you to write thank-you notes. The person who already has everything, or is impossible to shop for. And the one who just loves beautiful things.
They'll receive five envelopes throughout the year, each one a little reminder that you were thinking of them.
How gifting works
Give a year of Collected Post, and we'll take care of the rest. Their first envelope will include a card letting them know you've gifted them a subscription.

From the studio of Urbanic
Hi, I'm Audrey
In 2006, I opened Urbanic, a paper boutique on Abbot Kinney in Venice, CA. For nearly twenty years, it was a place to discover beautiful stationery, independent designers, and thoughtful things worth keeping.
Along the way, I created a paper line carried by Anthropologie and boutiques across the country, spoke at design and trade events from New York to London, judged stationery awards, and advised emerging brands. In the early days of blogging, I wrote Parcel Post, a chronicle of my love for all things paper.
I'm a curator and a lifelong lover of design in all its forms, but mostly, I'm a collector. Of unexpected patterns, color stories, beautiful papers, vintage treasures, and ideas gathered from interiors and places I visit. I love noticing the details that make something special and bringing them together in ways that feel considered and a little unexpected. Sharing those discoveries has always been my favorite part.
These days, I design paper goods from my Los Angeles studio for shops near and far, collecting inspiration along the way.
Over the years, the shop received the most incredible mail. Whenever I shared it on Instagram, the comments filled with people wishing they got mail like that, too. Collected Post is me finally sending it.
A small, seasonal collection of good things, assembled by hand in my studio. Each mailing is a limited edition, never mass produced. It's a passion project made with my whole heart, and I'm so happy to be sharing it with you.
