About

In the world of stationery and design, few brands encapsulate the essence of southern elegance quite like Stately Oaks Designs. Founded by Lauren Schiffman, a Louisiana native with a deep appreciation for the traditions and grace of the south, this brand seeks to revive the art of sending handwritten notes and invitations, turning each piece of stationery into a celebration of heritage and joy.

Lauren Schiffman’s journey began in her hometown, where the charm, culture, and unhurried pace of life served as constant inspiration. With a desire to reignite the joy of sending and receiving snail mail—transforming it from a mere gesture into an experience—Stately Oaks Designs was born. This brand is not just about paper; it’s about capturing the spirit of the south and sharing it through thoughtfully curated designs.

At the heart of Stately Oaks Designs is a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to celebrating the enduring allure of the southern lifestyle. The brand’s logo—a stamp featuring a tiger holding an oak tree—embodies this ethos. The tiger symbolizes strength and resilience, while the oak tree, a prominent southern icon, represents rich history and enduring beauty. 

The very name “Stately Oaks” evokes a sense of grandeur and grace. “Stately,” defined as grand in manner and appearance, perfectly encapsulates the brand’s aesthetic. The oak tree, with its sprawling branches and deep roots, is not just a tree; it’s a symbol of the south’s resilience and timeless appeal.

Each design from Stately Oaks Designs is a testament to Lauren Schiffman’s vision—a vision that seeks to capture the essence of the south in every detail. Whether it’s an invitation adorned with delicate magnolia blooms or a thank-you card featuring classic monogramming, every piece of stationery tells a story of tradition, elegance, and southern charm. 

Stately Oaks Designs invites us to slow down, embrace tradition, and savor life’s meaningful moments. In a world dominated by digital communication, this brand reminds us of the magic that comes with a handwritten note—a magic that transcends time and leaves a lasting impression.

Lauren Schiffman’s passion for her craft shines through in every aspect of Stately Oaks Designs. It’s not just about paper; it’s about preserving a way of life—one filled with grace, warmth, and the simple joy of connecting through handwritten correspondence. As we navigate the fast-paced modern world, Stately Oaks Designs invites us to pause, reflect, and rediscover the beauty of the south, one letter at a time.
