OUR SNARKY

ORIGIN STORY

Hi, I’m Caroline—the founder of La Folie Press. This brand started during cancer treatment, when everything felt surreal and a little unhinged (and not in the fun way). Between hospital gowns and identity crises, I found myself craving humor—real, messy, honest humor. So I started writing it.
“La Folie” means madness in French, which felt about right (considering). What began as a coping mechanism turned into a collection of paper goods that say the things we’re all thinking—but usually keep to ourselves. Everything I create is made for that “ugh, that’s so me” moment: brutally relatable, a little emotionally chaotic, and weirdly comforting.
If you love a good laugh, a little catharsis, and stationery that feels like a hug and a roast, La Folie Press is the place for you.
Welcome to the madness, friend.

Snarky Goodness...

Made the Old-School Way

Every product here starts and ends in-house—written, designed, and dreamed up with equal parts snark and heart. Our letterpress notebooks go a step further: each one is printed on a vintage press and hand-assembled in our Boston studio. The result? High-quality pieces that are original, a little chaotic, and completely unique—no two notebooks are ever exactly the same.
