THE SHOP IS OPEN

After twenty years of creating luxury engraved and letterpress custom correspondence for clients around the world, Mr. Boddington established his first stationery boutique in Brooklyn in 2019. There you will find hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, pencils, Japanese pens and fancy paper goods with enduring appeal.

Whether you are writing to wish your sister better luck with her love life, or leaving a reminder to pick up coffee at the bodega, it is best jotted on paper.

MR. BODDINGTON WAS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND

About twenty years ago, Rebecca Ruebensaal found herself weeping in a bathroom stall at her dreaded corporate job. Desperate to make NYC rent, there was only one probable solution. She called upon her childhood imaginary friend, a globetrotting gentleman named Mr. Boddington, and started a small business devoted to paper. Her parents were dizzy with worry.

In its early years, Mr. Boddington created engraved and letterpress invitations for picky yet impeccable brides in Manhattan. Eventually the business evolved to offering hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, books and globally-sourced desk accessories, always with Mr. B's idiosyncratic perspective as the guiding muse.
