About Foreign Friends

Foreign Friends was created for the curious and the ones willing to step beyond what’s familiar and find beauty in the unknown. Our brand is rooted in the idea that growth lives outside the comfort zone. The name Foreign Friends represents connection across differences. What once felt foreign becomes familiar through understanding and care. A new idea. A new perspective. A new way of seeing yourself or the world. We believe those moments of connection and discovery deserve to be held, written down, and shared. We make paper and novelty goods that feel like small discoveries- objects that carry culture, celebrate literature, and offer words meant to encourage, affirm, and gently nudge you forward. Each product is crafted with purpose, designed to spark curiosity, promote openness, reflection, and the courage to evolve. Intentionality guides everything we do, including how our business cares for the planet. Every item is made with the Earth’s condition in mind, using recycled, reclaimed, and plant-based materials whenever possible, because creating thoughtfully means thinking beyond the moment. We believe caring for the planet isn’t optional. It's a key component of living consciously. Lastly, Foreign Friends extends an invitation to you: Leave your comfort zone. Live outside the box. Grow with purpose, move through the world with care. And when it feels a little strange—that’s okay. That’s where growth begins.Read their story
