Who We Are
Ettie Kim Studio is an independent design studio and online shop specializing in wedding paper, banners, and other printed goods. Born out of a passion for fine craftsmanship, we strive to bring a thoughtful and refined touch to your greatest life milestones and everything in between.
Our studio is based in Philadelphia, PA, but we have worked with clients worldwide and strive to provide each and every client a personable and personalized experience from start to finish.
Our Values
We believe love is love and celebrate all kinds of love and couples, no matter their race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity.
We collaborate whenever possible with fellow small businesses based in the United States or Canada that are operated by people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, and minorities.
We are committed to practicing our craft as sustainably as possible. Here are a few ways we are striving to minimize the environment impact of our products:
The majority of our paper stocks are completely tree-free (made of cotton reclaimed from the garment industry), 100% recycled, or FSC-certified.
All paper scraps in the studio are recycled or reused.
We work with local vendors and small businesses based in the US whenever possible to reduce carbon emissions.
We avoid over-packaging our products. We use recycled or biodegradable packaging materials and/or reuse packing materials from vendors.

Meet Ettie
Ettie Kim Studio is helmed by owner and creative director Ettie Kim.
An East Coast native, Ettie was raised in Atlanta and lived in New York, Seoul, and D.C. before putting down roots in Philadelphia.
Although creative all her life, Ettie did not take the traditional path into design. After graduating from Columbia University, she made detours through law school and a day job before going full-time with Ettie Kim Studio.
Having turned a creative outlet into her main gig, Ettie feels incredibly blessed to do what she loves every day, and she hopes her clients can experience that love in her work.
