Two Paperdolls, LLC is a full-service letterpress and design house in Wayne, Pennsylvania that specializes in custom invitations, web design, branding and identity. The company uses antique letterpress machines to create invitations and paper prints for sale online and in several retail locations. ==History== Two Paperdolls began as a hobby for Vanessa Kreckel, owner and creative director. Kreckel, the associate director of athletic communications and director of publications at the University of Pennsylvania at the time, created custom invitations for friends and family on the side, gaining a following around the Main Line area in the process. The invitations she made created a buzz along the Main Line and her reputation grew by word-of-mouth. Kreckel majored in communications with a minor in computer science at Cedar Crest College. Later, she was employed by Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania, coaching the women's field hockey and lacrosse teams as well as serving as the sports information director, and designing media guides and other materials for the school. She dedicated her evenings and weekends to designing and creating custom invitations for friends and family.〔Athena D. Merritt, ("Two Paperdolls' owner wanted something she could call her own" ), "The Philadelphia Business Journal", February 15, 2010〕 In 2000, Kreckel opened Two Paperdolls in the Main Line neighborhood of Wayne, Pennsylvania.〔 Two Paperdolls opened its doors on Louella Court in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Due to a substantial increase in business, Two Paperdolls later moved from its original location on Louella Court to its current location on West Avenue in Wayne.〔Tara Behan, ("Dollhouses: A local designer finds inspiration at home and the office." ), "Main Line Today" April 26, 2010〕 The current space is much larger than its previous home, enabling the company to house its printing presses and production studio in the same space as the rest of the company. In 2006, Kreckel founded Louella Press, a line that includes letterpress note cards and stationery. Louella Press is carried in at least 250 retail locations across the United States, Canada and Europe.〔 In 2009, Pressed 55 was formed as another branch of Two Paperdolls, serving as its print-only arm of the business for designers looking to have their work printed with letterpress. Pressed 55 and Louella Press currently operate under the brand name Two Paperdolls.〔("Past and Present Clients" ), "Red Balloon Public Relations, 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Two Paperdolls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
