Bell’INVITO is a dive into the old world of fine printing with a new take on applications. Founder and creative talent Heather Wiese leaped from the realm of fashion, where she flourished as an art director, into creating memorable statements for everyday living. Influenced by time spent in Italy, she sought to find her own artistic voice by blending her love of traditional European style, meticulous craftsmanship, and her innate skill for graphic design and illustration. She was moved by the romance of the European lifestyle. She marveled at how a casual meal took on a luxurious air by the simple addition of quality elements that were more about style and manner than expense. Heather envisioned bringing that culture home. Even more fortuitous, she stumbled onto a stash of family heirlooms in a dusty corner of an all-but-abandoned building. The old family-owned equipment presented a curiosity and an opportunity. Heather learned the craft and process of both letterpress and engraving and soon realized that no modern derivation matched the color and the tactile feel when quality ink adheres to fine papers. Along with learning the art of fine printing, she furthered her etiquette knowledge with relentless research and interviews. She gathered craftsmen and craftswomen, masters of the lost art of fine printing. Her expertise in etiquette and protocol can be seen in every piece that comes off the press. Read their story
