Wendy Mason and Earnest Merritt, wife and husband duo, formed Dear Hancock in 2010 as a way to combine their love of painting, drawing, and paper goods. Dear Hancock’s painterly aesthetics and narrative details represent a mix of nostalgia, humor, and everyday life. Mason’s and Merritt’s art backgrounds are visible in this unique brand, including Hancock the Punny Rabbit, a beloved character who is depicted hopping around humorous situations with a steadfast expression.

All Dear Hancock paper goods are printed on recyclable, FSC approved, green-e certified soft white paper stock. The 100% recycled kraft envelopes come from a hydro-electric paper mill and all Dear Hancock paper goods are printed in the USA.

Dear Hancock operates out of a beautiful vintage schoolhouse in Richmond, VA.
