Shipped to Your Door
In 1989, a teenage Ellie O'Brien stumbled across a beat-up typewriter at a James Island thrift store. She had no plan. No business degree. No idea she was about to build something that would eventually reach 27,000 customers across the world.
It Started With a
Thrift Store Typewriter.
OUR STORY
Today, Ellie runs All Things Cotton Paper out of West Ashley with her wife Caroline (the CFO, apparently). She's still typing on a vintage Underwood. She still gets excited about every single order.

Every piece ships from our little corner of West Ashley. A lot of customers who visit Charleston end up ordering — they love the idea of having something custom made by a local. We love making it for them.
Unlike other shops who print from a computer, everything here is typed by hand. On a 100-year-old typewriter. In Charleston. We wouldn't have it any other way.
