West Michigan stationery firm well-known throughout the country

While the average West Michigander may not be familiar with Gwyneith Paige, founder Jodi Bos says, "When we go to trade shows in New York, everyone knows the Gwyneith Paige brand." Based in Grand Rapids, Mich., Gwyneith Paige specializes in couture letterpress invitations and social stationery. 

Bos, who also owns luxury wedding and social event planning business In Any Event by Jodi Bos, says the inspiration for Gwyneith Paige came when she was not able to find "clean and crisp letterpress" stationery that matched the luxury branding of her event planning services.

Gwyneith Paige currently employs four individuals, including one hired in the last year to help coordinate and serve the 50 stores throughout the U.S. and Canada that carry their products. Besides the retail stores, you can purchase products online through their website.

Bos chose the name for her four-year-old company when she was pregnant. "It was the name for our baby, but it ended up being a boy. We liked how the name sounded so regal and luxurious, so we kept it as our brand name."
