Lavender

A summer-bright envelope that travels well in the postcrossing rotation, especially with collectors of botanical mail. Reach for it during slow correspondence — a letter that does not need a reason, a thank-you after a quiet visit, or a short note tucked behind a sachet of dried herbs. The format fits a folded A6 card without crushing the edges, and the paper holds up to international post without going translucent. Pleasant in a stack of mostly-bills mail; pleasant on a desk while the recipient writes back, with enough margin around the address for a stamp that does not have to fight the design.
