The joy of realizing it’s not junk mail. The satisfaction of a well-sealed envelope. The feel of fine paper on your fingers. The sight of a friend’s handwriting.
This is where the inspiration for Dear Annabelle was born - out of the tactile and emotional joys of real human connection, all wrapped up in the simple act of sending or receiving a letter. In 2019, our founder, Marcie Pantzer launched Dear Annabelle, a modern luxury stationery brand that celebrates beautiful written correspondence.
Love, delivered.
Crafted with intention and delivered with a wink.
Since its inception, Dear Annabelle has expanded beyond paper goods to include entertaining accoutrements (think embroidered cocktail napkins and chic place card holders) and goods for gifting (gift wrap, gift tags, and labels). We’ve launched exciting collaborations with hotels, brands, and even movies, and have partnered with retailers across the country and in Mexico.
Whether it’s bespoke stationery engraved in gold ink, a notebook the color of a strawberry macaron, or a set of notecards inspired by our favorite place in the south of France, all things Dear Annabelle are born of the same vision: luxury that doesn’t take itself too seriously, crafted with intention and delivered with a wink.
Our purpose is to inspire connection.
Whether through a hand-written note that becomes a keepsake, a dinner party that lasts ‘til midnight, or a gift that elicits pure, childlike delight. Our stationery and home goods are designed to make everyday rituals feel special, encouraging us all to slow down, celebrate, and connect with intention.
FSC-Certified
Dear Annabelle is committed to protecting our environment. We carefully purchase our paper stock from FSC-certified companies that demonstrate a similar commitment to our planet through sustainable forestry practices.
Tree Planting
We are proud to donate a percentage of all sales to One Tree Planted, a Vermont-based environmental charity focused on global reforestation through tree-planting across the world.
Charity Support
We are also committed to donating a portion of our proceeds to charity each year. In the past, we have given to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, God's Love We Deliver, the ASPCA, among others.
Our founder Marcie Pantzer’s obsession with letter writing and stationery started early - sending and receiving letters at sleepaway camp in Missouri.
This passion for correspondence eventually led her to start Dear Annabelle, a line of stationery, entertaining essentials, and gifts that are playful in spirit and pristine in craft. A former Town & Country editor and self-realized entrepreneur, Marcie loves hosting elaborate dinner parties in her NYC home, making exquisite discoveries on her travels, and spending time with her husband and four children. The name Dear Annabelle is a loving nod to her daughter, Annabelle Pantzer.
