LOinLONDON® is a fine paper goods and luxury design studio located in the Midwest. Since our start in 2010, we have provided our customers with unique and whimsical stationery, greeting cards, invitations and more. From simple beginnings, our product line and services have grown immensely.
For Laura, our founder and creative director, it all started with a thank-you note... or rather, hundreds of them. The importance of written correspondence was instilled by her mother from the beginning. She would diligently write and rewrite each note until they were perfect... the perfect hand-written font, the perfect layout, the perfect message. Today, this sticks with her as she strives to insert these basic elements of font, layout and meaningful message into her designs with fresh new twists and refined illustration. When she's not illustrating, she's likely painting something else... watercolor on paper, oil on canvas, murals on walls... you name it, she loves to paint it!
As we move forward, we continue to embrace and build upon the significance and sentiment of the hand-written note and the importance of social graces. We value etiquette, great design, philanthropy, a good laugh and lasting relationships and try to incorporate these pillars in all we do. We aim to provide our customers with fresh products and excellent customer service. And in doing so, we strive to reach our ultimate goal of sharing whimsy and joy with our neighbors both near and far.
Last year, we worked hard to bring you a new collection of functional goods for home and personal style- where watercolor meets acrylic and fine art becomes functional! Our new earrings, coasters and trays have been a major hit and we hope they will add a little pop of cheer to your space and everyday life!
Lately, Laura has been really focused on her watercolor work and doing live events- both in retail stores and at weddings and events. She is loving this new branch of the business- she loves getting dressed up, being around a lively crowd and entertaining guests with what she loves to do most!
All products are assembled in our Quincy, Illinois studio and are shipped worldwide. Our collection of papers and envelopes are sourced from within the United States and our acrylic goods are handmade in our studio. We are committed to delivering high quality products that are socially and environmentally conscious. We sincerely hope you enjoy!

Laura is an untrained artist living her dream and is grateful to each of you for being a part of the process. For more about Laura, you can follow her on INSTAGRAM.
Chase has always been a part of the LOinLONDON team- supporting Laura in a number of random ways, but recently he's taken a more active role as the king of acrylic production, etc. He sets up design files, operates our machinery, does all things techy... and adds another layer of creativity and perfection to the items we create.
In his spare time, you can find Chase playing/coaching soccer, researching healthy living, grooming his dogs or playing with power tools.
Ann is our "Purveryor of Fabulous Finds" and our "ideas" gal! Whenever we're stumped for a project, we brainstorm with Ann (or as we call her, M2T). She's always got some creative and fun idea up her sleeve. She's our organizer- she makes reservations, does research, keeps us on track- and fills in wherever the need arises.
In her spare time, you can find M2T soaking in her pool, decorating a mantel, snuggling dogs, polishing silver, hunting for antiques or cooking for her family.
Our "STAFF" provides endless inspiration and entertainment. They keep each day interesting and fill our spaces with JOY, making for the most magical work environment! Don't worry, they are compensated well!
Here are their favorite things...
Carrott LOVES to play. She could play for hours and never be done. She is the QUEEN of frisbee. King is our lounge lizard. Plop him in the sun, or on a comfy bed and he couldn't be happier. Vincent is a rescue. He thrives exploring outside and trying to eat bugs. He wakes up each day ready for an adventure and that good energy rubs off on everybody! Cosmo is our constable and keeps everybody else in line. She loves holding your hand, a good snack... but beware, she is grumpy at night! Margie is our feisty girl. She is full of energy and LOVES a good tummy rub... and a long tummy it is!
