Trendy Award Winners Named
Stationery Trends has announced the winners of the first-ever Stationery Trends Awards — The Trendys. After being narrowed down by the stationery industry to the top 10 in each category, industry members returned by the hundreds to vote for their favorite overall product in the Baby, Bridal, Green, Greeting Card and Office products.
And the winners are:
Baby (tie): Luscious Verde
“We really enjoyed entering our products in the first ever Stationery Trends Awards. It was an awesome honor to be chosen amongst so many really talented artists. Although it might make us sound like an insecure actor, it truly was a thrill just to be nominated.” —Megan, Luscious Verde marketing/public relations
Baby (tie): Minted
Bridal: Spark Letterpress Love
“We’re so thrilled to receive any recognition for the work we do. We couldn’t believe we would have two of our entries in the top ten and then to have one of them win was amazing. All of our wedding suites were months in the making and things like this help to validate the hard work.” —Valerie Carlson, Spark Letterpress Love art director
Green: Luscious Verde
“We would like to profusely thank everyone who voted for our products, and we just want to let them know that their Starbucks gift card is in the mail. Just kidding! Seriously, we know that the competition was open to so many different artists, and we appreciate each and every one of the votes.” —Megan, Luscious Verde marketing/public relations
Greeting Card: Old Tom Foolery
“It’s quite a big honor to have one of our products awarded the title of ‘Best Greeting Card.’ That’s pretty huge for us, and we know we were up against some tough competition.” —Lauren Weinblatt, Old Tom Foolery founding mother
Office: PSA Essentials
“It is an absolute honor, and this being the very first Trendy, makes it extra special to us. We were head-to-head with some of the nation’s most notable names in the category. We strive to present creative and cutting-edge products to the industry, and this recognition really delighted our entire staff. We promise to keep the bar high, the ideas fresh, and your loyalty at the top of our list!” —Lori Bogda, PSA Essentials partner
