Dempsey & Carroll Introduces THE KIWI COLLECTION: 4 New Note Cards for Spring 2006

Perfect for spring and summer correspondence, The Kiwi Collection is the first new set of non-holiday designs to be introduced by Dempsey & Carroll since the company was bought by The 1878 Stationery Company in 2004. The Kiwi Collection’s color and whimsy add a new dimension to Dempsey and Carroll’s extensive line of boxed motif cards, which are sold in select stationery retail shops nationwide and online through the company’s website at www.dempseyandcarroll.com.

The new designs are packaged in boxed sets of 5 cards of a single design and 5 envelopes, which are lined with kiwi green tissue paper. These new motif designs have been hand-engraved on crisp white 3-ply 100%-cotton stock (the equivalent of more than 96-pound paper), adding weight to the written word. Each boxed set of 5 cards and 5 lined envelopes will retail for $21.00.

The Kiwi Collection will be available starting in March of 2006, at the following locations:

· Kate’s Paperie stores (NYC locations only) and www.katespaperie.com
· The Papery (Shrewsbury NJ, Princeton NJ, Sea Girt NJ and Denville NJ locations)
· www.dempseyandcarroll.com
