Announcement
622 Press is now Bess Paper Goods & Gifts!
In 2019, we moved to Cincinnati and opened a brick & mortar to house the letterpress shop, paper flower studio, invitation consultation area, classroom and retail space. The shop is named after the equipment that started this journey for me: Bess, my 140-year-old letterpress!
More space means more items in stock and ready to ship the next day, and lots of new products in the works. If you're local, stop in to 321 W. Benson Street (in the Reading Bridal District), and if you're not, keep up with the latest news at www.besspapergoods.com, www.facebook.com/besspapergoods and instagram @besspapergoods

5 out of 5 starsAfter dance recitals I give my granddaughters floral bouquets to keep. This year I had to find a new flower artist. I am so very pleased with the quality, color, and beauty of this bouquet and know that it will be added to the collection of bouquets of years past. I tease that they will have enough for a bridal bouquet if they keep dancing. I highly recommend the beautiful work of Kristin at besspapergoods.

5 out of 5 starsMy granddaughter receives a bouquet after each dance recital. Last recital I had this artist create her bouquet based on my granddaughter's dance costume colors. I have now ordered for the Spring recital and the bouquet is gorgeous. I know she will be absolutely thrilled.

5 out of 5 starsSo beautiful and realistic. The packaging was such that I think it would have been impossible for it to get hurt on the way to me.
