We make cards for people you love and love to hate. Inspired by how friends actually talk to each other, with honesty, sarcasm, and the occasional eye roll. As Oscar Wilde said: "True friends stab you in the front."

Started in 2017 with 16 designs. Now stocked in 100+ shops internationally, from The Conran Shop in London to Compendium Design Store in Australia.

Everything's written, designed, and printed in the UK on responsibly sourced materials. We work with an eco-conscious printer who operates sustainably, they even heat their factory with compressed waste paper.

Mean Mail was created by Vicky Simmons, an art director with a penchant for brutal honesty. The first card she designed was for Valentine’s and said ‘I’d like to keep this when we split up.’ to give to her then boyfriend. They’re still together. Just.
