Introducing The Love Notes Collection. This collection has been something I have been looking forward to for the last year, and I am so excited to share it with you finally. This collection was created based on a true family love story—a story of love, nostalgia, traditions, heritage, and heirlooms.
Our Love Notes Collection is inspired by a 100-year-old love letter written by my grandfather to my grandmother in 1919. The Mrs. Clutch brand was created from a love letter written by my grandfather to my grandmother in 1919. Their story is a tragic love story, but a love story nonetheless.
I am often asked what inspired me to start The Mrs. Clutch brand, and my answer is always three simple words, a love letter. More specifically, a meticulously written 100-year-old love letter penned with a classic quill tip pen and inkwell with penmanship would inspire today's calligraphy artists. Domenic Caruso wrote these letters to Rosa Andreola every day while he was serving in the Italian Army. You can read my grandparent's true love story in a previous blog post.
Our Love Note Box Set includes a 100% Italian-made box set of 10 love notes, and 20 notecards are the perfect accessory to write your love story. Italian paper adorned with a watercolor motif of florals and butterflies, creating a fairytale set of Italian stationery.
The Love Notes video designed by Joy Proctor was created to showcase new brides that love letters that will someday turn into family heirlooms and how important it is to write these letters to one another.
