Our story

Found on the road, posted by hand.

Kartka is how Celina sends a place to someone. She does not draw the postcards. She collects them - in kiosks, museum shops, railway stations - while travelling, and brings only a few home.

Each card is hand-picked. There are never many in the shop at once. When a card is gone, it is gone, and the next one will have come from somewhere else.

Then she writes. Your words, in ink, in her hand. And she posts it, so it arrives as a letter from the road.

And if you'd rather I wrote it, just tell me what to say.

The process

Four steps, from the road

From a stall in another country to a letterbox. Usually about nine days.

01

Found

Celina collects postcards on her travels - never in bulk, never to order. If it does not earn a place in the bag, it stays on the rack.

02

Chosen

Only a few make it into the shop at any time. That scarcity is the point. She does not restock a sold card.

03

Written

If you have asked us to, your words go on the back in ink. No printed fonts, no stickers. It arrives looking like a letter, because it is one.

04

Posted

Stamped and sent. UK and EU in 5-9 days, worldwide in 8-14.
