Share Your Story: Manor Paper Co.
A woman-owned business that has a goal to bring people joy!
With so many retailers facing similar challenges right now, we encourage you to Share Your Story so we may share your story and help other independent retailers.
Leah Pellegrino, owner and lead designer, is a maker on a mission to make people laugh. Manor Paper Co. creates greeting cards, stickers, home décor, apparel and more. “Our goal is to bring people joy and make them laugh with one of our products,” Pellegrino explained. “If one of our products can make someone laugh and think of someone that would enjoy it, then we did our job.”
Although Manor Paper Co. will not be exhibiting at any upcoming shows, Pellegrino shared that the business is “still pretty small so right now we are trying to gain some love on social media to get new customers!”
