Award-winning Ladyfingers Letterpress is a Queer and Trans-owned-and-operated stationery and gift brand based in Colorado Springs, founded by designer and printmaker couple, Arley Torsone and Morgan Calderini.
After launching their business in 2011 when their own wedding invitation went viral, Ladyfingers Letterpress now sells its products in over 1,000 stores around the world. Their flagship store opened in Colorado Springs in 2016, where they also host workshops and classes and offer a wide variety of boutique stationery and locally made gifts. Customers can see the presses — dating from the 1890s to the 1940s — running and witness the products being made. Ladyfingers Letterpress is also the in-house retailer at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. With two locations in downtown Colorado Springs, the couple is immersed in the arts and community: their two most favorite things.
