About Sandesa

“Sandesa is an AAPI and female founded business based in New York and Seattle. We’re two friends who embrace the slow living lifestyle in the midst of our fast-paced everyday lives, and we love sending and receiving handwritten letters. There’s something special about a handwritten letter that feels so intimate and meaningful.

We founded Sandesa to continue celebrating the art of handwritten letters. Sandesa is a stationery brand that’s crafted to celebrate art & playfulness, and we’re reimagining the handwritten letter experience for both senders and receivers.

Sandesa means “message” in the Sanskrit language, one of the oldest languages in the world. As handwritten letters are also one of the oldest forms of communication, we want to continue celebrating this. We believe that words and messages have a great impact when it comes to cultivating deeper connections with one another, and in spreading love and kindness.

Join us in embracing the (small but mighty) power of a handwritten letter, because small gestures can make the biggest difference.
