Orange Beautiful Studio

Yeah, they’re open occasionally with a pop up shop but I don’t think it’s a regular thing. So I’m not sure whether to say the shop is open or closed. It’s sporadically open is the best way to describe it.
9÷1÷13 UPDATE: Okay, now a sign says they’re open every weekend. I’d still call ahead to check because they’re obviously experimenting with whether to have this as a pop up shop, regular shop or no shop at all.

Bought a gorgeous hand-​made Mothers Day card here for $ 4 last week. I talked to the owner for a while — super nice.
Despite other posts on here, the shop did NOT close! It’s still alive and well and a gorgeous part of our neighborhood. They closed their doors to walk-​in shoppers, but you can still get their beautiful stuff at

I noticed last week that they’re doing little «Pop-​Up» shops in their space. Looks like they’re going to open their doors occasionally to walk-​in shoppers. That’s where I found my Mother’s Day card.

We worked with Emily and her staff to create new vinyl lettering for our shop windows and signage for our storefront. It was WELL worth the wait. I cannot say more on how amazing it looks and what a professional job she did. Standing out in the hot sun and applying vinyl lettering inch by inch is not an easy job-​but she and Lizzy had a great attitude during the fours hours they spent making sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend them to any business owner who needs custom design for their shop or store front!

I really like OrangeBeautiful for its original, creative selection of cards and stationery. I am a sucker for letterpress cards and I love, love, love that I can select my own with whatever color envelopes I want. There are also little notebooks and fun calendars for purchase. Even though I do use my iPhone most of the time, I refuse to forgo my paper backup. (Sometimes it’s easier to write things down than type it on that blasted virtual keyboard.) There are also other crafty items here for sale but I generally stick to the paper goods.
The ladies here are friendly and helpful. The prices are fairly reasonable. And they offer gift wrap for only the price of the wrapping paper. I will definitely come back for more. This is a great place for Chicago made gifts for friends and family. (And, who are we kidding? You know you’re going to buy some for yourself.)

My guess is this is a great place for buying items rather than a place to go for custom made invitations or the like. After months of the owner ignoring my emails I was finally able to get a hold of someone at the shop and I was hung up on. My experience with Orange Beautiful was completely unprofessional and just down right awful. I’d say take your business elsewhere.

I wish I’d read the reviews BEFORE taking my business here! I brought in some business card samples that I needed quoted for and I was told I would get quotes in about a week. Two weeks later I got an email saying that they were still working on them. I never heard from them again. I took my business elsewhere because I’m not going to beg someone to take my money. There’s plenty of other letterpress printers who’d love the business.

I agree with Erica. I went in last week to get a quote on wedding invites, and was excited to use a place in the neighborhood. After talking the owner she said she’d email me a price quote in the beginning of the week. Well, it’s now a week later, and I’ve left a voicemail as well, and still haven’t heard back. I definitely would have loved to go with Orange Beautiful, but I’m not a fan of the customer service and really wish things would have turned out differently. I’m going elsewhere.

Love! Love! Love!
This place is exciting. I have visited it many times, and love the card bar, where you can pick out birthday, thank you, congrats and other letterpress cards and matching envelopes — 10 of them for $ 24 INCLUDING tax!
Their personalized invitation designs are funny and just beautiful and modern. But the greatest part is the letterpress inside the boutique. Yeah — that’s right — everything’s made right there, and you can see the inner workings of the shop! Chicago needed something artsy-​craftsy and yet still inviting like this. So glad it’s in my neighborhood.
Dig the handmade decorations all over the shop! Very Etsy. Check out the window display. It’s inspiring! They even make their card stands — just musta picked up some origami along the way.
The owners are tied into the community, and work with the local shops — like Transistor in Andersonville. I love that fun has officially moved into my neighborhood.

Hey scrap bookers! Here’s your dream-​come-​true!
OrangeBeautiful.
Truly, I love the name because I don’t think we embrace the beauty of the color orange enough.
When you walk in, you can’t help yourself but to notice the adorable stuffed-​felt-​animal jackalopes on the wall! While they’re quite pricey, they’re hand-​made and irresistible.
Back to the paper products/​stationary, they offer stamping, cutting, binding, finishing… or just high-​quality cards to purchase for any and all events (just a birthday or massive wedding).
I personally love their cards for birthdays that are unique (not the repeat Hallmark) and a piece of art [yet not necessarily orange].

I love a good, handmade card shop – and this is definitely one of them. I’m really happy to have a decent card shop in this neighborhood. In addition to cards, they also have a some gifts, like caramels and jewelry.

I didn’t know anything about the store until I saw the cute window today from the street. It was so appealing that I turned the car around, parked and walked right in. The store is gorgeous, well done, friendly staff, great owner and a unique arrangement of beautiful items to choose from. I agree with the othe review, there issomething for everyone. I love the option of custom work and I will be sure to have my next event’s invitations made here. This is what shopping local should be!

My review is from the shop perspective, haven’t worked with them to print. Cute little shop that was a joy to stop into. A well edited selection and a fun browsing experience. Picked up a card for a wedding, look forward to coming back to see what items rotate through!
