About Calypso Cards LLC

Calypso Cards is a contemporary greeting card publisher and distributor rooted in good design, thoughtful words, and meaningful connection. We collaborate with independent artists and publishing partners across the U.S., UK, and Europe to produce cards that reflect real life — the humor, the tenderness, the everyday moments worth acknowledging. While we work with large national retailers, the heart of our business remains with independent and local shops. We believe great retail is personal, expressive, and deeply human — just like the cards we make. Calypso Cards is based in Newport, Rhode Island — a place defined by light, history, and a slower, more intentional pace. That sense of calm and consideration shapes how we approach design, storytelling, and the way we work with our partners. Newport’s blend of old and new, tradition and creativity, mirrors our own point of view: thoughtful without feeling precious, expressive without excess. It’s a place that encourages noticing the details — something we believe good cards should always do. We Believe: - Design should feel approachable, not intimidating - Cards should sound like something you’d actually say - Independent voices deserve room to shine - Paper still has powerRead their story
