La Vieille Dame Card

$3 $6

Part of our Little Women, Big Women Collaboration with State the Label. This limited edition letterpress card features La Vielille Dame and was designed by Gaëlle. This card is from a stationery set that is unlike any we’ve seen (or even created) before so if you’d like to take a deeper dive to learn more about the how and why behind it you can read more in our blog post here.

The insert for this card reads: “Every year I make a trip back home to France. Every year I observe, in awe, a few very old ladies walking on their own, most of them with their backs bent down. They carry a grocery bag or two, and I think: “What these women portray is survival, ‘malgré tout’, they are still able to get out of their house and go to the grocery store. Alone, yes, but self-sufficient, and not in a nursing home.” I admire those women. They inspire me. They have a will to survive. Their road is getting closer to the end. They carry on those (often bent) shoulders and back so much life. I want to be one of them down the road, one day.”     -Gaëlle Boling, Age 66
