Meri Meri Greeting Cards

Spirit Publishing launches the new season of hand-crafted fashion greeting cards to Australia produced by Meri Meri.

The collection is inspired by classic and contemporary fashion and interior design. All cards are hand made and adorned with ribbons, fabrics and costume jewellery which give the cards a three dimensional effect and sense that they are more a gift then the standard cards available in the market.

"They are a card and gift in one, a keepsake, something people may even frame," says Spirit founder and managing director, Mary Bradner, "and for the style-conscious, they complement any clothing and accessory gift."

The Meri Meri range covers all occasions - birthday, anniversary, New Baby, Get Well, Wedding, Engagement and Thank you, as well as blank designs.

Meri Meri’s immense success abroad has carried into the Australian market.

"Retailers, including David Jones can’t order enough of them. Australians love contemporary and stylish designs with an unusual bent," adds Ms Bradner.

The card concept was created by ex-Los Angeles art teacher Meredithe Stuart Smith in 1985. This niche card line quickly boomed and is carried by over 4,000 accounts in the United States, including pre-eminent stores such as Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue and other specialty stores around the world.

This 2006 season’s collection consists of over 20 new designs and will retail for between $9.95 and $12.95.

Spirit distributes to department stores, bookstores, newsagencies and specialty gift stores throughout Australia and New Zealand. Stores include David Jones, Myer and leading homewares and gift stores.
