The staff went out of their way to customize my design and deliver the product before I had to leave the state. They are incredibly friendly and I cannot recommend this company enough!

Great products and superb quality and service. Recently had an issue getting to their shop hours for a last minute card and they went above and beyond to deliver it to my house. Highly recomended.

Such a cool and unique place to find custom cards and a plethora of DSM/Iowa themed pieces. It's a legit (and literal) letterpress business where any fan of graphic design can easily geek out on. They specialize in Des Moines specific apparel and merchandise, while also branching out to other major cities in the state and beyond with inspirational pieces and quotes. Bonus: you can have apparel customized (like I did with my DES MOINES sweatshirt pictured). They already had it on t-shirts and tanks, but 'tis the season for warmth while also repping the land I love. It was a pleasure to work with Sarah on this and I love how it turned out. Double bonus: Have you ever seen a letterpress do it's thang up close? Because they will totally show you how it's done and it's a really cool and interesting thing to see. It also truly makes you appreciate the value of the work that goes into each and every single piece of this small business.

LOVE THIS SPACE. Such cool graphics, designs and local goodies. Admire the diligent work that goes into making these one-of-a-kind creations. Great for custom gifts and all things Des Moines/Iowa. Plus, they'll show you how the printing press works which is super neat!

Purchased a very cool t shirt at Art on the Prairie in Perry. The quality is great, printing message is pleasing, the fabric is super soft. I would definitely purchase again!

One of the absolute best shops not just in East Village but in the entire damn town! The coolest retail products made right in house and they can personalize any print job you may need. The best service to go along with amazing work!

Perfect spot to find a unique gift for that hard to shop for person! My son and I came in here 20 minutes before a 5 year old's b-day party with a hope to find something cute and unique she could put in her room! We found the cutest little doggie print that was signed and hand numbered. The owner of the store was very sweet and helpful and fun to talk too, and she was playing, Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky," album so I was sold! I grew up in a printing family.. So I love to see these old printing presses in store. They beam with history and they still work and look cooler than any fancy pants digital printer. Go check this store out and heck they do custom prints so go make some magic!

This is where I buy all of my holiday cards, thank you's for speaking gigs, and even some of the letterpress decorations for my home. Oh, and I'm still using coasters designed here. You might say I'm a fan. But really, you'll spend more on Hallmark cards than the stuff the owner makes. (and hers are much better!) 10/10 plan to shop again.
