Who We Are

Originally inspired by the salty, crystal clear blue shores of the Mexican Caribbean, Open Sea is a creative studio based in Brooklyn that specializes in fine stationery and paper goods. The company was established in 2015 by Melissa Constandse.

Our paper good line is inspired by the occult, the Victorian era, and all manner of esoteric traditions, as well as naturalist art and the treasures of the plant and animal kingdom.
Each piece is meticulously designed with purpose and intention as a tribute to long lost tratitions and to the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
