It all began 25 years ago . . . Meredithe (who¹s childhood nickname was Meri
Meri) sitting at her kitchen table . . . some scissors and pens, a BIG pot of glitter. The magic began . . . Local Stationery stores in Los Angeles loved those cards and asked for more. One kitchen table and one pair of scissors wasn¹t enough. In 1987, they presented a little range of handmade cards at the National Stationery Show in New York. The response was phenomenal. Pretty soon there were major stores like Bergdorf Goodman taking on the Meri Meri range for their Christmas season. More stores took on the range and the range kept growing. Meri Meri started making Invitations, Place cards, Gift Enclosures. They started to win awards at the GCA stationery show. They won 5 ³Card of the Year² awards. More stores took on our range, from little bookstores in tiny towns to giants like Neiman Marcus. Meri Meri doesn't design on kitchen tables anymore. They work in studios in a 400 year old building, overlooking an ancient churchyard in a little town called Cheltenham, 1 hour west of London, England. These days Meri Meri is housed in studio of twenty designers and art workers and Meri Meri products are sold all over the world. Life is a little busier than it used to be. Meri Meri is currently working on lots of new projects, from our traditional cards and invitations to Gift Sets, Party ware, Advent Calendars, even Mechanical Cards.
