Why Lola Wilde?
A little bit about me...
For years, I was far too hard on myself.
I spent endless hours thinking...
"Why did I say that?"
"Why did I do that?"
"Why didn't I do that?"
"I'm such an idiot."
Looking back, I realise how much time I wasted on negative self-talk, guilt, anxiety, regret and self-doubt. It robbed me of joy and stopped me appreciating the good that was already around me.
Then one day I thought...
Right sod it.
Life is far too short.
I decided to embrace who I am, celebrate my slightly bonkers side and start finding the funny in everyday life. I began journalling, laughing more and choosing kindness towards myself instead of criticism.
The more I did it, the more I realised I wasn't the only one.
So many of us carry around heavy hearts, overthink everything and forget to notice the little moments that can make us smile.
That's where Lola Wilde was born.
It started with a book, sharing the funny, honest and wonderfully awkward world of dating and healing. From there came greeting cards, little love notes and collections designed to make people laugh, smile and feel a little lighter.
If one card makes someone chuckle...
If one note brightens a difficult day...
If one smile replaces one worry...
Then every bit of this has been worth it.
My hope is simple.
To spread a little more colour.
A little more sparkle.
A little more kindness.
Because life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Lola Wilde Studio
Lola Wilde Studio is an independent greeting card brand designed in the North East of England.
We make cards for the people who matter, the friends who've seen you at your worst and stuck around anyway, the ones who make ordinary days better. Our cards are honest, a little cheeky, and always from the heart.
Every card is professionally printed with a gloss finish, and comes with a Kraft envelope in a biodegradable sleeve, because the details matter.
We're proud to be a small, independent studio. When you buy from us, you're supporting a one-person brand doing what they love.
